22 February 2023 Marbella: We Head to the East Along the Walkway

 


The wind was calm and the sun was bright, perfect weather for a walk.  The walkway started out "paved" with a mixture of concrete, bricks and stones.  Some places are easier to walk on than others and the walkway leads to the footbridge pictured above.   After the bridge the path is sand and there are deep places where the bikes dig into the sand and wipe out!  We have to keep our eye on the ball while walking.  We got to a wooden board walk that was just above the water line and we watched  the tide come in.  It was very peaceful and we are enjoying some stationary time at the shore.  Ahhhh can be heard in the apartment often as we are relaxing.
