A trip down to the Granada Coast.
Ebird List for Playa de las Azucenas.
We started out early to get to the Flea market in Almuñécar as Deb and Ian wanted to get a few bits to take home and I wanted a couple more of the painted plates for the wall in the Kitchen.
After a successful walk around there we headed along the coast to try and see the exotic species the Black-rumped Waxbill (Estrilda Culinegra / Estrilda troglodytes) which was getting reported on Ebird regularly and the first 2 birds we saw were this species, the only 2 we saw.

We returned to the car when I notice that there was a mobile Churros van just down the road and as Deb and Ian had not tried it we went down and got some along with some of the chocolate sauce as well, we sat in the car and eat it but I was quite surprise to hear that it was an experience that neither Deb or I want to repeat !!!!!!!!!
We then jumped back on to the motorway and headed back up to the house as it was getting quite hot.
