Playas de Luz, near Isla Christina

Sunday 13/01/19

We decided to go for a long walk in the estuary this morning, and happened to pick the coldest morning for it!  It was only about 2 degrees with an icy wind blowing off the interior.  We were bundled up quite well but both decided not to take gloves which was a mistake.  There was nowhere to shelter from the wind on the footpath through the tidal area and we nearly froze.

Early birds





Our walk eventually took us all the way to Ayamonte, a port village on the Rio Guardiano, bordering with Portugal.  It's a pretty town, and there was a marathon on so we watched the front-runners on our way back.




The bridge to Portugal



Our total walk was around 18 km, so we were both definitely feeling our ages by the time we got back -  but at least it had warmed up by then.


The road back seemed never-ending at stages

We're planning a quieter day tomorrow but knowing us...
