Hello again.
I left Torrox on the 5th and headed west. I went past Salobrena again.

The area around here is intensively farmed. They grow fruit in large plastic green houses. Every available piece of level ground is used.

There's still some room for little towns - Calahonda

- Castell de Ferro

Stayed one night at Castillo de Banos. A nice little campsite next to the sea.

Some people really make themselves at home.

- Aguadulce

- apartments with a sea view.

I went past Almeria and ended up at Camping Cabo de Gata. The coast is 2Km away and the town of Cabo de Gata is 3 Km away. The area is a Natural Park - semi desert - the dryest place in Europe. It is quiet and beautiful.

- the fishing fleet

They still produce salt at Almadraba, to the south.

- derelict church

The "Salinas" are used by flamigos.

if you get too close they get nervous

then they fly away.

Not sure what this one is - it just ran away.

Cabo de Gata lighthouse - the bottom right hand corner of Spain.

Looking towards Almeria.

Snow on the Sierra Navada above Almeria.

and now, just for change, an ugly bloke and a sunset.

Tomorrow I'm moving to Los Esculios, a campsite NE of here. Bye for now.
