Gib and Andalusia - March 16, 2010


Finally we were on the last day of our 3 day adventure. This day was really windy - 27 mph. It was just what we had been hoping for. The reason we wanted to go bird watching in this area is because it is the closest place to North Africa and hence the raptors migrate by soaring above the Mediterranean each Spring and Autumn. Even though the wind was strong, the raptors didn't make the journey that day.

Instead, we spent the day exploring again. This time we made it Medina-Sidona where there is a cool castle and wonderful food! This time we ate at a little place in the town square. Cheri had a wild boar stew and John had a meat platter. Yummy!!

We turned back to Algecrias and returned the car. We decided to take the ferry over to Gib, but the wind was making the seas/waves too rough, and so we cabbed back. Once in Gib, we found a nice cab driver who took us one last time to visit the macques! What a way to end the trip!

Enjoy!
John & Cheri
