The beach of Sabinillas
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 @ 11:00 PM
This place is near Estepona to Malaga --90 kilometers from Malaga-- on main road 340, Km. 144.It belongs to the municipality of Manilva --situated on a mountain on the left of this picture--. This picture was made around 8 p.m. and the light was begining to be very special.It was not cold.One famous building is the Castle of Sabinillas.In the "Cerro del Castillo", has been found a lot of archeological remains belonging to the Bronze Age.But the Roman domain was the most important thing, the Roman village of "Barriada Sabinillas".The remains of the Duchess´s castle, where also exists a big complex, in which there are thermal baths included, probably a tower on the Hill of the Hacho, and also the ceramics of wall found in Haza del Casareño, Las Lagunetas and a lot of another remains inside the municipality.Diferent sites of interest belonging to the Middle Age have been found: the sites of the Cerrillo de la Sepultura, La Alcaría, el Cerro del Tesoro, Terán, and so on.The battlements-tower of Punta Chullera like the Duchess´s one belong to the 15th Century.
Suddlenly the light changed to the blue color.The little boats are waiting for going out, to the sea, if the weather let it them.
Another kind of light in a same scene.I did not use any filter to change the color neither I used any program for touches of pictures.
Another nice view of this beach.On back of the picture I think that it is Estepona --down and left to the big mountain--.
I like this picture, because it transmits peace, calm to me.I hope that you receive the same sensation --although I advise you to come here in order that you can feel your own sensation, smelling the sea (a very important thing), listening the tide when it goes out or comes in, and listening andalussian people who are speaking in the little seafront.--.
As this post is one of the most visited in my Blog, if anybody wants me to make some special photos, from that area, arround Manilva, I will do it with much pleasure.
