Our Albayzin neighborhood in Granada forbids motor traffic from 10am until 2pm. Fortunately, we got our act together just in time (9:56) to begin the last leg of our trip in Almeria, which is in far southeast Spain. This arid region has almost a lunar like feel to it.
After a quick pit stop in Almeria, where we found a vegetarian, organic market, we continued east to our destination: the Cabo de Gata national park to see the rugged terrain and shoreline and to take a dip in one of its beautiful beaches.
The first beach we visited was Playa de Monsul.
Before we continued on to Vala Media Luna.
And hiked up a cliff on its side to yet another small calamity with amazing Vistas around the southeast corner of Spain. The top also had very forceful wind gusts.
After reaching our southern most destination (because we forgot to pack more than .25 liters of water), we circled back and walked to Playa de Genoveses for a dip.
Afterwards, we finally got to see our apartment in Almeria.
And confirm that the rumors are true...for every drink you buy in Almeria not only do you get a free tapas, but unlike in Granada you can choose it. 4 drinks, 4 tapas, 11.70 euro.
