Seville --> La Barrosa
Seville was HOT, HOT, HOT, so once we were done we decided to hit the coast. Geraldine had done her research so with the added luxury of her GPS we sat back and hit the road.After about 2 hours we came to La Barrosa Beach in Chiclana de la Frontera, a resort town filled with Spaniards escaping the swelter of Seville and Cadiz. We found a little hotel and enjoyed an afternoon at the beach. Unlike the Mediterranean beaches, Spain has golden sandy shores which are a bit easier on the feet.
Later on we had a fabulous seafood dinner in a local joint. We then returned to our hotel were we persuaded the owner to sell us a bottle of wine. We were sitting down by the seafront drinking our wine when suddenly the beach came to life........not with partiers but with dump trucks moving loads of sand from one end of the beach to the other. We found out the next day that the beach is eroding and they move sand every night in order to maintain it.It is a loved beach ... that's for sure.
