This is Lorca. Almost 100.000 people live here. We’ve been there once before during the feria at the end of September. The old city is nice to walk through with small streets and high Renaissance buildings. But that’s not what this picture is about. It’s about the haze that is to be seen just under … Read more
The black pencil lines are the only evidence that there is ice on the water. It was a freezing cold day today, so we decided to walk one of our famous hikes: The Smugglers’ Route. Half of the route is in the Netherlands, the other half in Belgium. It’s a walk of about two hours. … Read more
This is what happens when the skies clear above the sea. At once you can see for miles on end. But these clear skies combined with the clouds on the right, announce a change in the weather. No matter how south you go, the Arctic knows where to find you. A cold streak of high-speed … Read more
Although the waves aren’t as high as they were yesterday in Japan during typhoon Jebi, they announce here a change in the weather is coming. In San Carles de Rapita the streets were flooded today. In the Rioja wine area hailstones as big as golf balls destroyed cars and parts of the grape harvest. Tomorrow … Read more
Woot, woot! Finally some rain. And now we realized again why gutters are a really great invention. In the Netherlands, you will hardly discover any house without them. Over here it’s the other way around. Water was streaming from every roof tile which made a spectacular view (from the inside of the house of course). … Read more
For days it has been, what we call, Dutch weather. Humid, cloudy, stuffy. I wish it would rain. Then it would cool down and the garden would be happy as well. But no luck so far. It lights, which is a spectacular view in the dusk, but nothing more. The forecast says there will be … Read more
Until today every early morning and every early evening clouds are hanging either on top of the mountains or above our heads. Today was the exact opposite. An impeccable blue sky this morning and the moment I am writing this post. And clouds in the middle of the day. Everybody keeps warning us it’s going … Read more
The weather app keeps predicting sun and the reality keeps being rainy. Well, we won’t melt from a bit of rain. Although we didn’t like that the supposedly drying laundry outside got soaking wet again. Today we walked a part of the Vías Verde. We took up the path about 600 m. from our house … Read more
Most of the day was sunny and lovely. When we drove out of Puerto de Mazarrón with our shoppings we saw big waves of sea mist. But still, we hadn’t thought it would rain. Even when we see dark clouds we don’t expect rain. Especially when the weather app predicts sunshine all day. So yes, … Read more
Today, the weather forecast predicted rain from 13:00 hours. So we decided to go for a walk in the morning along the coast from Isla Plana to La Azohia and back. When we started the sun was shining and there were hardly any clouds in the sky. Since the first of May is a holiday … Read more
