This morning started misty and very atmospheric. Still warm and lovely for a run with some photos on the way.

Light wind day
Another day at the windsurfing office
Another good day in the windsurfing office. No time for a run today as the wind was there from early on. After the big waves of yesterday, today we had bump and jump small waves with strong winds. Started on a 5m and dropped to 4m as the wind strengthened. The reason the water is such an interesting colour is that the beach ended up in the sea after a recent storm and it hasn’t recovered yet.
Windsurfing from Playa de Levante
Today has been one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had windsurfing, I’m already looking forward to my wave sailing course with Peter Hart. The wind could have been stronger, but the waves were exhilarating. Thanks to my sailing colleagues Chris and Keith and the support team, Gaynor, Brian and Pat.
Recce for wave sailing on Playa de Levante
Checking out a new spot for some wave sailing tomorrow with these two old boys.
Bike ride
Today’s very enjoyable bike ride took in the towns of La Unión, El Algar, Los Urrutias and back home. We stopped in Los Urrutias for coffee and toast – excellent coffee, had to have two cups.
Bike ride to La Unión
A new destination for us on our bikes. A pleasant ride which has opened up opportunities for new routes. Coffee stop at El Tata in Los Bolones on the way back.
Hill run
It looks like the weather has returned to normal. Had a very enjoyable run on the hills.
Visit from Sue and Geoff Strawbridge
It was lovely to catch up with Sue and Geoff. We normally see them skiing in Les Arcs. They have just bought a place in Spain (45 minutes from here) and swopped there motorhome for an A class Rapido. They plan to ski all over the place (again) this winter, but, hopefully we will catch up with them again. 
La Unión
At the tail end of the wet weather, but still a grey morning we decided to recce cycle routes to La Unión. There are a few options, but, also the chance to take in some serious unwanted hills, which for us as non-cyclists are better left until we have got a bit more experience. I think we have sorted a route with a few alternatives that will be challenging enough for us, and also found a place where we can get a good coffee and some tapas.
While we were there we booked a tour of Parque Minero for next Thursday. We first wanted to do this after a cycle trip through the abandoned quarry in the area last year – another epic adventure.
