To the north the road wraps around the head of the bay and then along a spit of land. It was a great day for a hike, sunny with a light breeze and in the upper 70's. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to go 4 miles. After returning we made shrimp salad for lunch and then got our prescriptions filled. We used the prescriptions from Barcelona since it is EU there and EU here we were able to refill easily. Since we were in town we hit a few shops for more essentials: wine, scissors, a peeler, some bread and another spinach pie. On the way back we counted the stairs from our street to the next one just downhill. 74 steps on that staircase and another 18 at out place. It beats out Portugal for the number of stairs! We made dinner and heard a weird noise. It sounded faintly like a car alarm but just a single note repeated. I remember reading about the Eurasian Scopes Owl and it's "monotonously repeated song a single plaintive hoot." We played the call and it was identical!
This explains the big crash we heard last night, smashed concrete, plants scattered and the raining knocked down
It the gate slanted
Or is it the road?
Looking back towards the apartment
No surfers out today
Public art at the beach
The biggest wave ever surfed here
The local Nautical Club
With a big pool
Where they were playing water polo
Off int he distance is the large yacht that we have been looking at all week so far
Looking for our house
Here it is
Climbing up and gaining altitude
The first entrance to the Four Seasons
Perhaps this is why the yacht has not moved...heavy construction
The big crane is on the job
The second entrance to the Four Seasons
A serious rock breakwater
Keep out!
The end of the hike
It is a long way down
Mountains off in the distance
Construction on a new Port Authority building
The dome of a church
Water on both sides
As flat as we have seen it to date
Almost home
Four miles total 7500 steps
