Fortress, mountains and FARMOR and FARFAR!

While most days looks like routines-eating-playing-learning-playground or beach - eating-routines etc we also manage to do some tourist things as well lately.

Beautiful sunrise from our balcony

Playground fun

Simply amazing colors!!

There are a lot of old old castles and fortresses here in Spain and one of them is in Almeria (the city next to ours), Alcazaba of Almeria. The first part was built in 955 and and new parts have been added step by step after that, both by Arabs and Spaniards. The fortress has been used to film a few films of which some are Conan the Barbarian and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade :-)

Looking at another part of the fortress from where we are

Napping on the carpet...

We have had a few good hours on the beach but it has started to get colder now, I think. The last time we were down on the beach Marlee did not even want to go in.. and I was not very exited about it even if I kind of did go in. Noah and Gabriel were still very happy about getting in :-) The water here is so clear!

Great beach day

We made a very spontaneous trip to Sierra Nevada yesterday. It was really beautiful and we we did some short hiking.

One of many dry rivers in which you can drive at this time of the year

A ruin of a lead (Pb) factory up in the mountains

A lizard! We do not see a lot wild creatures here so it was exiting :-)


Panoramic view of Roquetas de Mar

Marlee showing his photographic skills :-)
We picked up Marlee's bike at the bike shop yesterday and today we went to the castle next to our house to let the boys bike and to meet farmor and farfar who came today!!!

Waiting for farmor and farfar to arrive to Roquetas de Mar!!!!!!

Farmor was caught on camera with Flamenco dancers in the back ground :-)

Gabriel has found a new instrument, the tube that belongs to a pump. He is not my drummer boy but my "lilla speleman" :-)
