Cabo de Gata

On Sunday we drove to Cabo de Gata, the SE corner of Spain and the dividing point between the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca.  This will likely be my first destination when leaving Almerimar in about 10 days.  The picture on the right shows the lighthouse at Cabo de Gata and the small anchorage next to it.
