The coastline to Carboneras was fantastic. The road is not so busy, but we may yet discover that it goes nowhere. We passed through lots of little resort towns in various states of closure. Carboneras itself is definitely in the closed season, but that means the hotels are cheap.

Today’s hotel has a sea view – first of the trip.

The Sierra Cabrera meets the sea

The castle of San Andrés in Carboneras

Hotel Miramar, surprisingly – our first hotel of the tour with a sea view
