Cartagena to Torrevieja enroute Alicante
05 June 2015 | Torrevieja
TB
Departed Cartagena early morning to once again take advantage of the earlymorning calm.But instead encountring a good kn breeze blowing off the hills with the occassional 25knt willawaw descending from the nearby mountain range.
A quick 10 mile sail along the oft mine scared hillsides saw us rounding cape to head nth past the highrise buildup on Mar Menor a sand barrier enclosing a 10 x 3 mile inland sea.Desination., the large salt loading & fishing port of Torrevieja. Tyingup up stern too @ a large modern marina in Torrevieja for the evening. The normal foray into town for the local fare for an evening meal.
Again Torrevieja
another very interesting town with its honest working classs bones showing through. Even though some development to cater for the developing tourist market has occurred much of the old working town & spanish culture remains ....based historically to the present on large scale salt production from 2 large salt lakes close to town
