view from roof

There is a train runs around the estate in the summer to take you to the shopping centre they toot and wave as they go by -

Pool at the end of the road with view to beach on far side also has tennis courts and boules / petang area

Esplanade beside beach still mean to get roller blades and skate this

boardwalk over carrabbassi beach , water alive with  fish even with all the tourists

When we first moved in it was unspoiled now it is more tourist orientated with bars and restuarents all temporary. in the winter months it reverts . To be honest being able to get a cold drink , a snack (srdinnes for instance) is a bit of a plus. I prefer to go early before the tourist arrive .  The water shoals so like many beaches in the med you can walk out for a long way , there are some areas where great dips occur so best be able to swim but these occur as you move up the beach , it also becomes rockier and this is where people fish and snorkel

When we first moved in this was a dilapidated fishing port. The shore was rubble and scrub grass . There was still fishing but it was mostly a mess. Now it is a posh marina with cafes bars and promenades. The marina teams with fish , how they survive the fuel soaked water I dont know , I should think if you tried to barbecue them they would go up like firelighters. Perhaps this is evolution .

The spanish love this sort of pavement , its disorientating and its definitely best to stay off the vino

 In one of the roads at the back of the house

My son and his friends stayed there once

They are empty

Glorious sunsets , if you go to the salt lakes you see Flamingoes
