cool mountain air

day trip to Mojacar, originally uploaded by ebbandflo_pomomama.

As a freckled red head, with skin cancer and heat issues, the south of spain in late August is not really top of the list as a holiday destination for me at all. But this year, the lure of train travel, family and europe made it so. After a night of sleeper train followed by an afternoon of day train riding we arrived en famille in Andalucia for a week with my husband's family.
Our apartment is at sea level, charming but very hot and humid. This morning my in laws very kindly gave us a ride through to Mojacar along the coast, where mr ebb, the Wee Guy and I caught a local bus up into the mountains to visit the pueblo.
For this red head, the change in heat, humidity, shadde, etc was a real blessing (sigh).
