This week has seen us drive through the mountains to Torrox Costa stopping on the way in the small town of Humilladero.
We have experienced a lot of weather this week as photos (next post) will show. The clocks went back and it is now dark at 6:30! The rain and storms have mostly been overnight but temperatures have dropped during the day as well.
Humilladero is typical small Andalucian town. Not much to see or do but an unhurried and friendly atmosphere. One of the photos below is of what I think must be hand painted pigeons - but nobody could enlighten me and maybe this is more common than I think.
Torrox Costa has "the best climate in Europe" according to the Tourist Office. Now with the warm sun (68f) and clear skies I can quite believe it. It is a tourist resort which seems to be busy even this late in the year. There is a mix of Spanish restaurants interspersed with all day breakfasts and Bratwurst joints. A lunch of calamares and prawns Pil Pil washed down with a glass of the local rosado shows where our tastes lie.
We have decided to make this a fairly brief stop and will head along the coast in a couple of days to wherever our wheels take us.
Buenos Tardes
