| Almeriamar - on the dock |
We arrived yesterday at our wintering spot in Almerimar Marina - our stop for the next six months or so. Foxglove is with us and they will also haul out here while they return to Japan to visit friends and family.

This part of Spain, still in Andalucia, boasts the world's largest nudest beach and Europe's only desert. In fact, this is where Sergio Leone filmed the famous "Spaghetti Westerns" with Clint Eastwood.
Maggie and I look forward to visits from friends and to touring Spain and Portugal over the winter. We are really excited about living in Europe with all its history, diverse cultures, and beautiful sites.
All for now, it's time for a swim ;)

Hi Branko & Maggie,
Great blog. Please tell us how you decided on your wintering spot? Why stop so early?

Regarding our wintering decision,we had asked for recommendations for destinations on the SSCA forum and Cruisers' Forum and heard that Almerimar was the best choice. Also, the cruising season itself ends in October since the winds get stronger and more unpredictable and the weather gets cooler. Besides, we would like to spend some time doing some inland touring in Spain and Portugal.
