Taken earlier this month on the Cabo de Gata (Cat Cape, literally) in Almería province, southeastern Spain. Almería itself is faintly visible on the far side of the gulf. Getting there involved a two-hour battle with a terrible headwind down on the plain. Rarely have I so appreciated the motor assistance on my (regs-respecting) pedelec bike.

PS: As can be seen, this is a desert region, and the Cabo de Gata is a particularly beautiful natural park. Many films have been shot there, including one of the Indiana Jones movies. It’s one of the driest and sunniest places in Europe, which is partly why I am cycling there in December and not July.
