Strong winds and rough seas pounded the coastline again. The water level in the port was higher than I've ever seen it and Duermevela was really straining on the warps.

Much needed rain kept falling, causing flash floods in places. One unlucky driver had obviously misjudged the force of water across a ford and finished up lodged under a bridge.

A cycle ride through to Torrox for the first time; quite an achievement and very satisfying.

A trip through to Malaga to visit the aviation museum. We found the place OK, however the entry road to the buildings was a 'no entry' so we returned to the area alongside the airport entrance and negotiated a parking space in one of the car hire places. It was a fair walk back to the museum and after having a good look around as well as a chat with one of the overseers, we learned that we should've ignored the 'no entry' sign and driven straight in. Well, I guess this is Spain!
On our return home we saw a film crew working in the port. It was for a tv series called "Snatch" evidently. We were able to get fairly close too and actually speak with one of the stars when we visited Duermevela.

The rain continues to pour and the rivers continue to run. It was good to be able to get out for walks when the rain stopped and everywhere had a much fresher feel. Even the parakeets looked cleaner!

The reservoirs are filling up nicely and we've been treated to some spectacular weather phenomena. Even managed to capture a double rainbow.

We came across an area near to Malaga airpot which enabled us to be really close to planes coming into land. It made for some great photos, however I couldn't help but wonder about security as no-one challenged us at all.

An overnight stay in Malaga in order to sample the atmosphere in the Easter parades which take place in the city. We had a room overlooking part of the route giving a birds eye view of some of the parades as they made their way through the city streets.
