| Marina del Este with its rocky outcrop |
Tuesday 18th
September. We arrived Marina del Este today after an overnight stop in
Benalmedina. The setting is spectacular and feels more Caribbean than Spanish –
no wonder this area is called the Tropical Coast. The port is tucked between
the pineclad headland of Punta de la Mona and the rocky outcrop of Penon de las
Cabellas.

| La Herradura bay |
Wednesday 19th September. We walked over the headland to
the town of La Herradura today and bought fresh fish and vegetables in the
market. It was a long, steep and hot walk but we were rewarded with some
spectacular views. When we returned we were able to cool off with a swim in the
crystal clear waters off the marina beach - we agreed it was the best swim we’ve had this
year.
Friday 21st September. We had planned to move on yesterday, but the
weather Gods are against us. The wind has increased, the waves are crashing
against the rocks outside and Sandpiper is doing an ungainly dance in the water.
We’re hoping the winds will ease tomorrow so that we can sail on to Almerimar.
