Guadalmar to Torremolinos

In spite of waking up to a weather forecast of strong winds and heavy rain with possible flooding for the next seven days, we were actually able to make all of today’s walk without getting a bit wet. We started out just after 6 AM in an attempt to beat the rain. As the sun rose, we could see rain falling in the mountains above us, but the costa litoral remained dry. It was actually quite exciting to walk close to the surf accompanied by the roar of the same wild winds as yesterday.

One of our goals in walking this section of the coastal path is to see the urbanizations built by the architect Donald Gray. In the 1960s, he designed four urbanizations in this area to preserve elements of traditional Andalusian architecture. One of them, Lomas de Marbella, has a house available for weekly rental, so we are using it as a base for this week. More on that in days to come.
