Another surprise

And another recommendation! A friend of ours traveled around here just last year and told me “go to Cabo de Gata”. Little did I know it was a whole national park (I thought of it as a town on the sea - which it also is). So while driving towards the town along the coastline we stumbled upon the entry of this national park! I already found some interesting looking beaches on google maps before that I thought we might stop, but wasn’t aware of them being in the park.
While driving there we took some back roads leading us through beautiful scenery, but also (as we got to know later) the first of many large vegetable fields. It sounds way more romantic that it is, because all of them are in, well, not growing houses, but some plastic-fabric-constructions to keep bugs out, maybe some humidity in. This area is also known as “mar de plastico” which says a lot I think.
Seeing this makes me way more aware of where my capsicum comes from and how romanticised food production is. It also makes me value our own veggi garden even more.Read more
