It was an interesting trip going to Torrox beach. Actually I had in mind going to this little idyllic town called Torrox, I had looked up in the internet, but then I accidently went off the bus one station too early and found myself in the middle of a “Las Vegas” made for German tourists. If Martin Parr would make movies, i would have definitely felt like being right in the middle of one. This place was flooded of artificiality, all waiters talking German, typical offers like tapas and sangria 2 for 1 written in fluorescent letters. At the beginning i was quite frustrated because of being there, because i really hate these touristic impersonal places, but it is a good and funny training for the mind and makes you thing about the absurdity of life. Thanks for that Torrox Beach.

At the end i found this spot at the beach I really liked and without my getting lost I wouldn´t have it in my collection of Malaga pictures.

This week I went by bike to Pedregalejo . It was a very nice trip by the beach. Once i got there I first had a look around the old fishers neighborhood, because the project I am doing at “La Térmica” in Malaga,  is going to be about these little fisher houses.

Walking around I saw  two boys playing football. I was very happy to be here in winter, because the beaches are still vacant and the landscape just feels so much mmore authentic without swarms of tourists.

A trip to Mundaka. It was at low tide and the fish at the beach of mundaka looked like forming abstract paintings to me.

A vew days ago I was walking along the cost, it was beautiful weather. I started at the harbour of Bilbao, which is the most important harbour of the north of spain.

I quiet liked the contrast between the lady, the harbour and the enormous landscape in the background. To me, people here in the north seem to enjoy the sun even more,  I was told that september and october are the only months in the year where weather is stable and sunny.
