10-5 El Campello - Another morning walk towards St. Joan.

 This morning I took my walk along the sea in the opposite direction.  I headed toward St Joan where the big Carrefour is.  

A view back to where we walked the other day.


Now I am heading around the bend toward St Joan.

Someone meditating on the beach.


The sun light is beautiful this morning.





Now - heading back home.



On hour or so later from when I started,  I am on our elevator heading up to our apartment on floor 20.  That is the highest level of the building.  What happens when we hit floor 32?


We had a big breakfast.  Left over potatoes are fried up.  Eggs fried, bacon cooked and toast made.  We did not eat again until almost 6pm!  We took a shorter walk along the sea promenade in the evening and called it a day.






10-3 El Campello

 Our first couple of days in El Campello were spent recovering from our time in Turkey and Madrid and our drive from Madrid to El Campello.


Beautiful sunset light on our view to the Mediterranean.  The curtains are actually a very light beige.

My early morning walk along the promenade along the sea.


A look back at where I had come from.


The sun was rising after we reached the marinia.








We started our walk back to our apartment.

9-30 Last Day in Madrid

 Our last day in Madrid will be spent sleeping late, packing for our next journey and one last foray out to take photos in our neighborhood.  


The local Mercado.  We tried to go to a restaurant here once - but the Mercado itself was closed.

School is out for the day and people seem to be gathering in squares letting their kids let off steam.





Maybe playing hide and seak?




At this point in our walk - Michael turned and pointed to that bridge in a distance - That is where we need to be to get back to our apartment!  So another long walk today.

Michael stalking the bush.

Mexican restaurant.



We came upon this plaza with these three statues - it is across the square from the structure in the next two photos.




This is a fountain with water flowing down.  My photos did not capture the moving water at all.






Santa Iglesia Catedral Metropolitana de Santa MarĂ­a la Real de la Almudena.

Then we were home and ready to do our final packing.  We will be picked up at 9:30 am to go to the airport to pick up our rental car.  From there we will drive to El Campello where we will be staying for the month of October.
