The Costa del Stuff-all

We spent a couple of days at Estepona on the Costa Del Sol, a favourite destination for British retirees. Also a place to come if you are a British 'celeb' (i.e. you have been on TV once and showed your boobs) and get photographed for trashy magazines.

The place was like a ghost town. There must have been thousands and thousands of little apartments which were all closed up and nobody around. Even on the beach there were only people every 200 - 300m. Apparently we had arrived in the off season!

It was nice to spend a couple of days on the beach doing very little other than reading a book and topping up the sunburn. With great views of the Pillars of Hercules (the two mountains at the mouth of the Mediterranean - one is Gibraltar and one is Monte Hacho in Africa) and perfect clear blue skies, we couldn't have asked for more.
