It looks like a spectacular location Cheers Alastair --- nathan@nathanfoto.com wrote: From: Nathan Wajsman <nathan@nathanfoto.com> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org>, LEG <leica@freelists.org> Cc: Subject: [Leica] IMG: Guadalest Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:53:25 +0100 When one asks a local what to see away from the beach, the answer, more often than not, is Guadalest. Guadalest is a village of about 200 people about 70 km northeast of Alicante, nestled among mountains, next to a river. The main attraction is a Moorish castle constructed on top of some incredibly steep rocks--an amazing feat of medieval engineering. The inhabitants of Guadalest make their living from the many tourists who come to see the castle, and there is a distinct whiff of crass exploitation. But the place is truly interesting, and getting there is a big part of the fun. I drove there on Sunday: http://www.frozenlight.eu/guadalest/ As always, comments and critique are very welcome.
