Rodalquilar - colour and light.

Rodalquilarte is having a facelift!  The old art works that have grown rather shabby from being displayed on the walls for months are being replaced by fresh new ones.  Our friend in the panaderia says there will be another festival in the summer too.  Sadly, we won't be here to enjoy it - well, I doubt it.

Here are some of my favourites among the new pictures that have been put up around the village:

But the whole village is like an artwork!  An eye-catching cacti garden:

We went down to El Playazo yesterday.  The wildflowers blooming everywhere grow more and more stunning; just when we think they can't get any better, something new comes into flower.  The clifftops look like giant rock gardens:

Flowers bloom on the very edge of the beaches, in the sand.

I liked this gorgeously painted camper van in the car park at the beach:

This morning in El Abardinal botanic garden, there was a sunflower out - the first time I've ever seen a sunflower in February!

Only one more day here and then we have to go home to grey, colourless London.
