Off to Canyelles for the Long Weekend

I doubt we'll be in our swim wear, but to the beach we're going. This is what it looked like last year at about this time - Autumn on the Costa Brava

Autumn Beach Time

It's mid October in the middle of the day, and here in canyelles cove there are people stripped down to their swim wear and bathing in the sun. They are mostly northern Europeans. Many with small children. The sea smells fresh. There's no bite to the sun. The little ones are playing in the shallows. A lovely autumn weekend. Certainly beats more mushroom hunting.

Canyelles in November

This weekend we went to the beach apartment. I don't remember being there in the Autumn before, but the thought of going to the beach was irresistible.

Below is the view behind the apartment. We're on the third floor. Most of the coves on the Costa Brava were totally destroyed by over development in the 60's and 70's.

We are lucky, because this cove has only one side that is developed. The other is privately owned.

Below is the view from the apartment, as seen in the evening on Friday when we arrived.

Below us are car parks (the area is totally full in the summer) and a restaurant with a kiosk and a playground. On the other side (the right) is a little marina. At night time, we can hear the gentle waves crashing against the shore.

Below is the living/dining room and Jett sweeping on Saturday morning. There is a nice little balcony here.

The restaurant is on the left, the apartments on the right. The beach - straight ahead!

Some bricks for Lizzy.

Some little fruits I saw growing. Everything changes so much in the Autumn.
