Day 12 – Inspiration is catching . . .

During our lives, we all need a little inspiration from time to time. Something that spurs us on from the present. Help us become more creative in whatever sphere we operate. Whether at work, or at leisure.

Sometimes, inspiration springs up seemingly out of nowhere. Presents itself as a gift. To be used diligently. At other times. it comes only as a result of perspiration. A period of hard work, or serious contemplation.

We move on today, but beforehand, make a short hike from camp, up to Cabo Mayor Lighthouse. Drawn to the light. We’ve heard it has a small art gallery, worthy of a peek. It is. An hour quickly passes in the round.

Free entry to the gallery, but no views from up top.

Fascination with the sea and lighthouses have provided more than enough inspiration for Eduardo Sanz to produce his awesome works of art.

In contrast, Carlos Forns Bada’s paintings seem whacky, but on closer inspection, are masterful delights.

Come 3.30 pm we’ve moved a little further west. Still in search of sun, before it sets up shop permanently. We’re pitched up riverside at Camping Costa Verde, Colunga. An appropriate name for this northern coastline. Verdant it is and we’re beginning to understand why. We’re within a couple of hundred metres from this fabulous beach. We make plans to make serious use of it tomorrow. Weather permitting!

This northern coastline a combination of small and larger than large, fine sandy coves
