Sunset on the bay of La Azohia |
It was an idyllic position but quite popular with the motorhomers which has resulted in the residents being a bit disgruntled at the constant use of the water tap on the beach.
Nevertheless, we stayed in the end for four nights, enjoying cycling along the seafront and the highlight being a cycle ride up the mountain to the massive defence area for the port of Carthenega.
Built between 1929 and 1933 it never saw active service |
Six massive guns still left high on the mountain |
It seems the architects couldn't help themselves and created a rather Disneyesque style of fortress |
These massive guns had a firing range of 35 km |
It was a massive climb but well worth the effort!! |
On the way we got chatting to a lovely couple Andy and Maureen who we met the next day for coffee |
A perfect day for visiting such a fascinating place! |
