Monsul beach

We fell in love with this place. Juan finding Androcymbrium europaeum (endemic to Almeria and - we later learned - flowering at its best in 10 years), in the plain adjacent to the beach...

... just about made his holiday.

And 17 degrees, whacky "Gaudiesque" volcanic rock formations, and endless expanses of sand made mine:

While I read, Juan had a ball stomping around the nearby hills:

We then hiked along the dirt road now part of the (limited) network of walking tracks developed by the parque nacional to a point where we could look down on the Cabo itself:

Two days later (having decided to get up early rather than stay up late for the new year) we watched the sun rise over neighbouring Genoveses beach:

... then had the bonus of it re-emerging above cloud as watched from a vantage point above Monsul beach...

I hope we never forget that moment.
