Discovering a new life in Costa Almeria

We saw it a lot last year, holiday makers with snowy white skin not appreciating just how severe the sun is here. This week, the Easter holidays, there are a number of families out here enjoying the break in the Spanish sunshine. We have wonderful weather if not a little windy at times and the sun is out most of the day, with a few clouds occasionally drifting across infront of it. The sun is warm enough to sit in all day, it's easy to be at the beach for hours, it doesn't feel intense............

but be warned, it is.

A Spanish friend of ours has told us we should never under estimate the strength of the sun here and should always use Factor 50 sun cream.

Looking at the number of lobster red bodies walking around here already, and we are only in April, be warned, bring pleanty of Factor 50 if you don't want to be taking home an unwanted souvenir of your trip!
