View from the our table at the restaurant

Dam at Guadalest

_ant5739
The clouds seem to be sparing the dam in the valley, so it's still nice for a swim

_ant5745
loving the colour of the water

_ant5747

_ant5748

_ant5753
Jac's laps it up

_ant5756
The water's edge was muddy , so we thought we'd smear ourselves and have a little mud treatment, bad mistake, when we washed it off , it felt like bits of fibre glass stuck in our skin, so all afternoon it was very annoying, but fine again the next day

_ant5759
our little beach there , we had to ourselves

_ant5760
driving back now, and leaving the dam , guadalest and clouds behind

_ant5761
was a pretty steep drive up the mountain, and had to stop the car for about 20 minutes, as it loked like it was about to overheat

Clouds are rolling in

_ant5727
And for this time of the year, that's a bit off

_ant5731
looks awesome, we are quite a way up in the mountains

_ant5733
So we are actually above some of the clouds

_ant5735
We head down to check out the dam

Guadalest Castle

_ant5684
this is what it used to look like, just before Spain became a tourist attraction

_ant5695
View of the dam in the valley from the Corduna house

_ant5698
Going up to check the ruins of the actual castle

_ant5700

_ant5706
Can you imagine building here ?

_ant5708
And right at the top there is a cemetry, we are some 20-30 kms inland and at Benidorm a long long time ago, there was a shipwreck with knights of malta on board, some of which died in the shipwreck, and they were then brought all the way up here in the hills to be buried, and I'm curious as to why they lugged a dead body for 30kms into the hils to be buried here

Just driving through the countryside

_ant5650
Love the light,I could pretend I took this pic in the lateafternoon in Hollywood hills, and you would believe me

_ant5659
and we stumble upon the castle at Guadalest

_ant5663
pretty little place with the last rays of light streaming through the hills

_ant5673
Guadalest is built on top of this little rocky outcrop

_ant5674

_ant5676
Jacqui shows us how the woman of the town used to do the washing

_ant5679
So we decided to stay for the night

_ant5680
