Plaza Flores 5 Almeria, Costa de Almeria, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands, 04001 , 34-902-234999
Dan and I left Granada in the morning, rented a car, and took a side trip into the Sierra Nevada mountains to two small villages, Capileira and Bubion. The drive there was one tight curve after the next, and after about two hours we finally unfolded ourselves from the car in Bubion. The villages were all white, with strange looking little chimneys (or vents?) sticking straight up out of the flat roofs. We strolled around the sleepy place, which had a few hikers walking through, some Brits who...

... the day from Olly: "We came down here to see what it would be like to sleep here Chris. We the discovered its the kind of place that goats get brutally masacred. Therefore, Its not a good place to sleep, is it." Despite Ollys compelling arguement the thing that changed my mind was the sketchy guy the kept cycling near us. When he returned with more friends to look at us I thought F**k this, lets do some night riding. The decision was further reinforced when we left because we ...
Almería, Andalusia, Spain chris_jones01I had to wean myseft away from the area, and the next day just drove a bit up the coast, past more un(der)-developed beaches at Escullos and El Playazo, and ended up staying in Las Negras, another fishing village which is sleepy by the water-front but with massive construction going on behind it.
Las Negras, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands travellerbruceReturned to San Jose. Next day drove around to the town of Cabo de Gata, saw the salt-pans, went up the the "Cape", saw the incredible beach of Cabo de Gata, had great lunch there, then went around to the beach at Monsul. Eventually decided I HAD to leave!!
San Jose, Burgundy, Spain travellerbruce... who told me that he only stopped if someone rang the bell!! I said it was obvious I was a foreigner and that I'd bought the ticket asking to go to the airport. He shrugged and dropped me off at the next stop where I had to wait another hour for a return bus. I rang the bell three times when we re-approached the airport. Picking up the car, I drove into the countryside hills behind Almeria through miles of urban sprawl until eventually finding the motorway heading towards ...

Almeria, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands quatrequartI'd read about the Cabo de Gata National Park, and headed for San Jose. This involved getting a bus from Almeria but nobody could find me a timetable for this. I wanted to ask the man in the ticket booth, but this remained firmly closed even though the bus was about to arrive. I looked around the back and the attendant was munching away on a sandwich completely unperturbed by the growing queue of people anxious to buy tickets. He ...
San Jose, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands travellerbruce... somewhere to have lunch, with a nice view of the beach. We sat on the beach while our lunch went down and had a quick paddle but we only lasted about half an hour on the beach because it was just so hot. Went to the station to check the train times for tomorrow and stopped off at the icecream parlour on the way back. Had a lie down then did some packing. Off to Granada tomorrow.
Almeria, Spain and Canary Islands nicola.hudson... dus ik had alle tijd om nog wat te eten, te shoppen en te lezen Alleen slapen durfde ik niet, afgezien van de onmogelijkheid daartoe op de harde stoeltjes (hoe anderen dat toch doen?). SMS-je naar huis dat alles op schema lag, tot op het scherm verscheen dat mijn vlucht tot nader order vertraagd was. Dan maar weer een beetje lezen (bijna tot de helft gekomen in "Kat en Muis", bedankt Syl) en wat heen en weer lopen (die hal is zo´n 1500 meter lang) Uiteindelijk werd dat twee ...
