Day 21 Tropical storm night

4.30am the place was alight and the noise deafening as a storm hit us. It is the first rain we have seen at the Villa but boy oh boy did it rain. The lightening was so bright it was like the middle of the day.

The view working on my family tree, too wet to go outside

We spent the morning chilling out and then after lunch when the weather improved went for a drive along the coast to see the devastation caused by the storm and buy more ice cream!

First stop was at the National Park La Salinas, San Pedro del Pinatar
The Mediterranean sea looked very dark and angry

This area is famous for its salt lagoons, which were all very red after the storm
This is just one of the mountains of salt

We wandered around marina and Chris found a friend!

There are some very expensive boats tied up here

Then I found a friend

Enlarge the photo to see the flamingos that make this area their home

They have little colour and were quite a distance from where we parked

We continued on to Mojon, a small place that has been hit a number of times of severe weather.

The roads were deep with water and on one road a car had lost it and was abandoned deep in the water.

From here it was back to Mercadona Supermarket for ice creams and home
