Next stop is Almunecar, just a little east of Nerja, before we journey onto the city & region of Almeria. We have a one night stay in a superbly located seafront hotel. An evening walk brought us to the preserved ruins of a Roman salt fish factory, the Moorish castle above & a 1970’s style wide beach fronting promenade. We found various tasty statues, including this one.
After a motorway journey through never ending plastic – every flat piece of land turned into cloches/greenhouses – we arrive at Gran oHtel Almeria, a time to be pampered. Overlooking the various fountains of Las Ramblas, our fifth floor balcony gives us sea, port & beach views. And a sneaky EV charge in its basement car park, too.
We find Sea Salps (photo below) on Almeria beach after a new explanation for a well known discovery on beaches at home.
A contemporary art museum contaIned fab works of art, best of which was the first, a paper statues photo session (also below).
Next day is alcazar time, the city has the biggest except for Granada. And it is huge. Not sure about the restoration works – there are lots – with modern materials ….. And we round off the night with a jazz concert. Well, almost jazz from Antonio Alvarez and the Band in Motion. We like Almeria!
