I love the Costa de la Luz. I was there filming at the end of last year. I have posted some of the shots that I took at Cabo Trafalgar on Flickr. You can see them here

@Frank – I see you are another costadelaluzofile! I love watching those kitesurfers for a while, though in the end it is one of those sports that never better illustrates the fact that humans have evolved to a point where we have far too much free times on our hands. A bit like skiing. Or tennis.

Some time ago I linked to some of my photos of surfers, and they were all taken on the beach immediately below the faro, to the right. It sloops away quite steeply there, great for the sort of surfing they do there. Playa de Valdevaqueros, back towards Tarifa, is worth a visit if you have not been there, good beach, large sand dunes etc (not quite as boig as Bolonia). very popular with surfers, kite surfers etc.

One thing I really like about dry, more southern climates (or more northern if your from the southern hemisphere) is on a clear day, the sky is so so blue when looking straight up that it appears almost black.

Ben, greetings from the Costa del Sol,
I feel for you.
Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, Fish.
Once I told my wife that it’s not that I don’t like HER fish, it’s that I dislike FISH in general. Still, she just won’t let it go, meaning she eats twice as much now. (I think she’s trying to compensate for the fish I don’t eat.)
I am so glad there is someone like you guys to put out a podcast like this. Inspiring effort.
Good luck.

Judith & I went to Carmona a couple of years ago. An interesting place and quite easy to get there by bus from Sevilla.
Cadiz; If you go there, I recommend the camera obscura – absolutely fascinating.

We have not stayed at Palomar de la Breña, but we have visited it, popped in to see the enormous palomar and have a drink in the bar. Nice place.
If you find yourself further inland near Medina Sidonia some time, you could do worse than try this place.
