This was a short walk along the Levante beach, on my way to the pub! There had been a bad storm the day before, called Alex, which we just caught the tail end of, that had brought rain, and plenty of wind with it on the Friday, but left Saturday the third, when I recorded this, fresh and lovely.
There was still quite a strong, but not unpleasant breeze, which you can hear on the video, and clearly see, as little white waves crash unmenacingly onto the beach – but the sun was warm, the air was fresh, and the atmosphere felt like it had just been washed clean.
The beach was quiet for a Saturday at the beginning of October. Perhaps the breeze had kept people away from the sand, but the bars were quiet too – seems covid is not having a great effect on tourism!
Nearly everyone I heard speak, were Spanish. Only a few of them seemed to have that lost look, that tourists often display, so I can only presume that most of the people passing by were locals out for a pre lunch stroll along the beach front – or on their way to the pub, as was I!
