An ordinary first week of April, with most of the photos coming from my morning walks with Mochi and my bike rides.<\/p>\n

\nThe early morning walks with Mochi are delightful in many ways. Spending time with our cute dog, and seeing nice beach scenes at sunrise. Mochi likes the beach too:

\nAnother set of footprints being made in the sand:

\nMorning padel:

\nA photo in the sand:

\nOn the way back from the beach, we often stop at the local bakery for a baguette:
\n\"DCSF0116\"<\/p>\n

\nLater that morning, I did my bike ride, and on the way back I came across one of the scenes that are unique to this country, the juxtaposition of modern retail and the traditional ways:

\nA strange statement on a rubbish bin down the street from my house:

\nAnother way to view the sunrise:
\n\"DCSF0122\"<\/p>\n

14_11<\/strong>
\nI often see these two women meditating at sunrise. In general, people here use the beach a lot, not just for sunbathing but also for activities like this:
\n\"DCSF0121\"<\/p>\n

\nAn evening walk, I am being watched:
\n\"DCSF0123\"<\/p>\n

\nStaying with the feline theme, a cat colony on a vacant lot near the supermarket where I do most of my grocery shopping. Good people have made a bit of a shelter for them, and bring them food every day:
\n\"DSF0126\"<\/p>\n

14_14<\/strong>
\nOn Wednesday I did my morning walk earlier than usual, so I was on the beach well before sunrise:
\n\"DSF0142\"<\/p>\n

14_15<\/strong>
\nI like the beach because every day the light changes, and the sea also looks different. On Saturday morning the wind was blowing:
\n\"DSF0152\"<\/p>\n

14_16<\/strong>
\nYet another way to photograph morning light:
\n\"DSF0155\"<\/p>\n

14_17<\/strong>
\nOn Saturday afternoon the weather was nice and people were heading for the beach, including this young couple on bicycle:
\n\"DSF0161\"<\/p>\n

14_18<\/strong>
\nTwo different ways to enjoy the seaside:
\n\"DSF0164\"<\/p>\n

14_19<\/strong>
\nMy favourite way to enjoy the beach is to sit at the 100 Montaditos bar on the promenade and watch the people:
\n\"DSF0158\"<\/p>\n

14_20<\/strong>
\n…and the dogs:
\n\"DSF0157\"<\/p>\n

14_21<\/strong>
\n\"DSF0160\"<\/p>\n

14_22<\/strong>
\nI finished the week with a bike ride to Maigm\u00c3\u00b3, a reasonably hard ride of 65 km with significant climbing from sea level to 650 meters. The road is excellent, and I was not the only cyclist out there:

\nThe landscape near Maigm\u00c3\u00b3:
\n\"1040822\"<\/p>\n

14_24<\/strong>
\nEven the A77 motorway towards Alicante looks nice:
\n\"1040824\"<\/p>\n

14_25<\/strong>
\nAnd to finish the ride, a pretty flower seen along the road:
