Pavement that made me seasick!
A tunnel through the hill, a nineteenth century tourist attraction. It was cool to be able to stand on the seafront watching the waves crash in, though potentially fatal to dogs and small children.
The medieval streets with their XV century palacios, some restored, some going to rack and ruin.
Beautiful white beaches, and people swimming although it was breezily brisk.
The picture that got away. From one balcony, dripping with roses, a rather majestic woman, a bold white streak in her long black hair, looking like one of Goya's majas, gone to seed. I tried to get her photo by pretending to photograph the streetscape in general, but she was wise to me, so I will try to give a sense of the romance of it by using this picture by Goya.
