Trevor. warm winds 10_15
After a very pleasing visit to the lovely old city
of Granada taking in the Main highlight the Nazrim ie Sultans palace at the Alhambra in the early morning .It was a pleasant trip back to Marina Almerimar through rugged seirras ,along the well developed motorways & rather tricky interchanges ,,,, "for uninitiated & unalert drivers". Stopping to take in another pleasant lunch @ yet another small "white town" in the process.
An early start wednesday 27th May morning to cover the last few remaining miles across Bay de Almeria to round the extremely rugged, dry, barren point of Cabo de Gata .Head north east on our Discovery of Costa de Blanca.
Thirty Eight miles of motoring to reach the very active fishing & minethe arearal loading port of Garrucha . Used since Roman times as a base to exploit the rich mineral resources of the area.
Tied alongside a large modern lightly tenanted marina.late afternoon
Time to take in a highly locally recommended local restaurant to sample the indigenous red prawns & seafood .All with mixed reviews.
