Cliff and coastal plain
Farmhouse and Arab castle
Edge of farmland
Bean crop
Waterfront
From our apartment on Calle Nueva I hiked up through town to the rim of the cliff, then down to the
east to the base of the cliff at the edge of the coastal plain agricultural area. I followed the main
road west to Caleta La Guardia, walked partway back along the breakwater fronting the beach then cut
back to the road via a dirt track through the farm fields. Back at the base of the cliff, I followed
the trail up to the rim by the Arab castle, then made my way back to the apartment.
Though I carried my camera, I didn't have time to try to photograph birds.
Counted 18 species between 0730 and 0930. Weather sunny, 65-75F with a light breeze.
