Alcázares / Mar Menor / La Manga

Here is a shot of the Medeteranean Sea with a couple Islands. It was at this point that José learned that April does not generally make a statement she is not completely certain about. He tried to tell me the campsite was in one direction and I told him it was not. A fisherman passing by settled it proving that I was in fact correct. It was one of those things you had to be there to really appreciate. :)

Headed South and Stopped in Alcázares to camp at Mar Menor Camping. Not a very good choice, it smelled very bad, as if everybody woke up that morning stepped out of their tent/cabin and went pee! The water was filthy and it was also situated right next to a military airfield, so the planes were taking off and landing all through the night. Well it can´t all be great. You have to take the bad days to remind you just how great the good days are. :) We decided to check out what was near and drove to La Manga which is a strip of land consisting totally of Hotels and Restarants and beaches. You can see the strip in the left hand horizon of this picture. It has the Sea on the outside of the strip and Mar Menor body of water on the inland side of it.
