Istan, Fuengirola, Parasite chips!
First off, this is an example of a Spanish Water dog that has not been clipped - kind of like dreads I guess. She was really sweet and ball obsessed.
Beach for as long as you can see! The men in uniform are raking the beach! They missed a pocketful of sea glass!!
From here I went to Corte Ingles - kind of the Spanish equivalent of the Bay ....maybe more upscale, perhaps like a combination of Holt Renfrew and the Bay. Anyhow, I was wanting to try the chips that were in the Academy Award winning movie PARASITE . It has been all over the news here as they are produced in a small family business in the north of Spain.
Yup, they come in a tin ...will they make it home - doubt it!
From here I drove north and took the scenic route back to Elviria but had to drive by the La Canida mall so stopped in for a very late lunch.....didn't say it was a healthy lunch!
And then lunch:
A beautiful sunset to end the day - good view of Gibraltar.
My sea glass collection is a little out of control - I have obviously separated the colored glass from the white and if push comes to shove the white will stay.
Surfers were out on Sunday!
On Monday I drove to Istan but forgot my phone so I have no pictures - it is a small town on a dead end road. Interesting to see but not a lot was there. Had to park outside the town and walk in as the roads were not wide enough!
On Tuesday I drove to Fuengirola and walked up to Sohail Castle - the views were lovely. I walked down the other side and along the beach back to the car.
