    Adra

    November 19, 2017 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

    So while in Este we visited La Herradura just over the headland, via the lighthouse for some photos, and a lovely lunch. From there we were going to go to Motril but as we got near it became apparent that it was a small marina but in a bigger port and there was lots of traffic including cargo ships being loaded and unloaded, so as the weather was great, I was in a bikini, we headed on to Adra. We have been the only overnight visiting yacht for four nights and unlike the other Med Marinas it is really calm, and we can go alongside rather than stern to, sadly there are no loos or showers near the marina only in the port office (10mins away) but that's fine, there is water and electricity. It isn't a tourist destination at all no hotels and only a couple of restaurants but a couple of good supermarkets but loving the peace and quiet.
    For E1 each we visited the Old Smelting tower, the bomb shelter tunnels, the museum showing the towns history and an interactive museum about the local wetlands, absolute bargain.
