Thanksgiving on Mediterranean coast
Thanksgiving Day we headed to the coast, passing through the little town of Restebal. At the edge of the town was a plaza looking down to a large lake. The plaza itself was interesting with curious tops to the pillars, large decorated, cement chairs, and small walls made with cement and broken pottery.
In Salobreña we climbed UP STEEP streets to the 10th century Moorish castle. Below were the white-washed houses, sugarcane fields, and the Mediterranean Sea. On the beach we found a small restaurant offering an inexpensive 3-course meal. Our Thanksgiving dinner was salad, paella, and fried fish. It was delicious and we were thankful!
We climbed out on the rocky promontory to look back at the castle and city. We spent some time on the pebbly beach—Lucy’s favorite spot of the whole trip.
