Better things are all uphill*

*The reference is to lyrics I heard in a song by Jakob Dylan (son of Bob), and I have to agree.  Besides the metaphorical, it seems true literally — my dog walk, the castle in Begur, and especially the mirador (lookout) above my apartment.

Recently, I took some guests up to the mirador to impress them.  A Brit who was in a van parked at the spot told us that he had retired from his job in England, sold his belongings, bought a van, and set out to see Spain and all of its coasts.  He started in San Sebastian and headed west, following the coastline of Portugal to the southern Spanish coast, and ultimately north to the Costa Brava.  He declared that this view was the finest he had seen in all of the Iberian Peninsula.  I heartily agree!

Each person who has visited me at my apartment has said that it is more beautiful than my photos.  Sorry I can’t capture it all for you to see…

From the mirador…(make sure your device is on mute – I recorded on a day when it was very windy and it’s quite loud).  Of course, this does not capture the full view!

Bonus photo of my most beautiful sunrise to date!
