This page will be updated with any news and photos that I am sent.
New Bar at Cala ReonaThis bar is open all day serving drinks and snacks.
At night it's a club.
The PromenadeThe new promenade at Playa Paraiso is finished and proving very popular.
The planting along it is becoming established and maintenance is ongoing.
The 'rustic' look is in keeping, but it doesn't really look robust enough to survive out of season.
I hope I'm wrong.
Bird HideAlong the Playa Paraiso promenade is a bird hide, complete with a chart showing what birds to be looking out for.
Unfortunately the salinas are so badly maintained that you are unlikely to see anything, but smelly mud and rotting fish.
In the last few days water has been moved about in the salinas, but there seems to be little new water being pumped in.
This was
the view from the hide last week.
It's a good idea to keep all the wheels on the
road when going around the salinas. This car was going no speed, but just dropped a wheel over the edge.
Nobody hurt.
Roman TheatreThe Roman Theatre and museum in Cartagena is well worth a visit.
It's very well presented. (In English)
The entrance is opposite the town hall.
Los TriolasOn the track between Playa Paraiso and Cabo de Palos.
Really good value Menú del Día.
You go through the bar into the restaurant area, that is spacious, cool and to a good standard. (Fresh linen etc.)
The menu is in English, if not very accurate.
Five courses. Salad, fried seafood, soup, grilled meat, desert, coffee, wine, beers, brandies and a tip, for four people, 80€.
Beach PhotographyI know the Spanish have a reputation for the surreal, but this was off the scale.
There was a bloke in the beach at Calblanque, dodging between the nudists, taking photographs of office chairs. It's not even an easy beach to get chairs on to.
