Day Trip to Tarifa

Animals are frequently grazing in the 'Campos'. The Campos are the public areas of land that are reserved for public use.

We are going to Tarifa which is between Algeciras and Cadiz... I like how the further the city is, the font gets bigger! you know from far away you are far from your destination!

Mijas has regulation that all the buildings in town need to be white, and in the surrounding areas they need to be "light colored." I love leaving town because you can see how other people decorate. This reminded me of Mexico with all the antennas, brick and tile fronts.

Some bits of trip reminded me of California hills and windmills in the distance.

I love the tunnels in Spain. Here in Andalusia, the ground is mainly granite and marble, so you know that they had a lot of drilling to do to get through here!

On some days we can see Morocco from our house too, but not like this...

Almost there!

It reminded me of Marin Headlands but hundreds of years old. From up there ol' armeries could see Africa, Portugal, The Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea.

We went snorkeling with hundreds of little fishies. The water was super clear and huge Ferries went by the beach. There were tons of people and tons of sand. Since I wasn't sure what it would be like, I kept the camera in the car.

Note to self: Take the camera next time. We are looking at getting an underwater case for one of the point and shoots. I can't wait to take pictures underwater!!!

Burger King was on our way home, so we treated ourselves. The prices of BK are like at the airport, a bit more expencive then you'd expect but the hamburgers are made with beef, not ham and you know what you are going to get :) BK and TGIF are the only places that make American hamburgers. We also talked to a woman who used to live in Daly City! We noticed it was really clean and we didn't see anyone cleaning it up all the time.

They also serve beer.
