The European Union leg of our trip has begun! On Thursday we landed in Almeria, Spain to meet up with my parents.
Our flight was short and sweet, but we were surrounded by kids! I have never seen that many children on a plane in my life. I think they were all headed to the Spanish coast for the UK bank holiday long weekend.

We’re staying in a small resort town called Playas de Vera, which is right on the ocean. Today was a cooled day, dotted with rain, so we haven’t gone swimming yet…

We took a nice walk today along the ocean to the slightly larger town of Garrucha. Although this town is also mainly beachside resorts, bars, and shops, we found some small medieval fortifications to explore.

Exploring! |
On our way back, we stopped at a scenic beachside restaurant for some tapas and a refreshing drink. Tapas are a cuisine originating from the Spanish province of Andalusìa, and they are essentially little appetizers or snacks to be served with drinks.
