Flamingoes and the Cape

Flamingoes and the Cape

We had five nights at Cabo de Gata beach car park. All that time we were parked in the front row with a perfect view of the sea. Every night we watched the sun set in to the sea. Each night we thought we won’t take any more photos but in fact we do take lots. Some nights the sun sets in a blaze of splendour and some nights it slides quietly in to the sea and the real colour

The main Spanish holiday at this time of year is from Christmas day to Three Kings day on 6th January. We have found that the atmosphere in the area around the car park has changed since the weekend. The traffic is noisier, there are more emergency sirens at all hours and the firecrackers and bangers are getting more and more frequent.  All in all our little car park retreat is not quite as idyllic as it was when we arrived!
