Walk around ~ the city of Algeciras Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

in #hive-155530 β€’ 2 years ago

Hi all πŸ‘‹πŸ»

With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in! or at @tattoodjay ’s Post here: Wednesday Walk Jones Beach
It tells you also the rules of joining in, at the end of his post 😁Join in it is fun 🀩

Today’s selection will be of 24 photos 😎
My Photos are all taken with my iPhone in July 2022
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are walking along with me πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ» around this part of the city of Algeciras in Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

Location of my walk on Google maps, see the yellow marked area:

Let’s start our walk 😊

We start at the PLAZA ALTA, a beautiful old square in the old part of this city.

On the edges we see ceramic vases and tiles in all colours… it brightens up a day β˜€οΈ

We see a church that dominates this square with its architectural features. πŸ€“

In the centre of the square we see a beautiful fountain with many details… look at the frogs 🐸 on the edge 😊 how cute.

Closer by πŸ“Έ

Next to it we see a child feeding the pigeons.

Closer look at them 😎

As we walk further, we see on a corner another church. This one is much… much smaller and looks older to me. I like the visual church bells πŸ””

Wandering through little streets I see these steps… plants, bushes and trees are planted on the steep street.

Closer look…

Wandering further we reach a park.

If you can remember my #MarketFriday post from not that long ago… about the bonsai trees, it was in this park.
If you missed that post; β€œMarket Friday” ~ When I visited a Bonsai tree exhibition πŸͺ΄πŸŒ΄πŸŒ³πŸŒ±
Have a look πŸ˜‰

It is nice to be in the shade as it was extremely hot πŸ₯΅ weather this day.
I notice this tree… look at how it grew.

Some details of the tree, as you might know by now… I love details 🀩

And some more 😎

Next to it we find this flower… #alwaysaflower of course πŸ₯°πŸŒΊ

Walking further through some streets towards the car, we pass by a school. A side wall is covered with this #StreetArt - #mural.

Let me show you along it πŸ€“

It tells a story.

The furthest part of it…

We walk around the school and on the other side we see this artwork: A KNIGHT ON A RETRO SCOOTER πŸ›΅ 😎

How cool is that πŸ₯°πŸ˜Ž

I take the photos through the fence, as I can’t get closer by πŸ“ΈπŸ€“


As you can see it is higher up. What a find 🀩πŸ₯° LOVE IT! hehehe 🀭

Behind us… the roundabout. Let’s cross… and go back to the car that was parked close by. Too hot to be out for long today πŸ˜‰

And that’s all for today! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜πŸ˜‰ I’m happy you joined me. Until next time 😎
Hope you enjoyed my photos of this little walk around this southern part of Spain. Thank you for looking and reading 😊 πŸ™πŸ» Really much appreciated!

Any questions or comments, let me know. Always happy to help.
Have a great Wednesday all 😎
Grtz Jackie

Que bonita. Voy a comprar una casa este aΓ±o en EspaΓ±a. Cerca de Javea.

Dat is geweldig πŸ˜‰ I’m Dutch btw.
MuchΓ­simas gracias!

I’m living in Spain since 2015, the southern area, we are moving out of Spain… in the next months up to somewhere next year. Depends how fast paperwork goes. 🀞🏻🀞🏻
This is my 5th country of residence so far.
If you want to know more about Spain, feel free to ask πŸ€“
Have a wonderful Wednesday @goldrooster πŸ‘‹πŸ»β˜€οΈ

Oh wat leuk of juist niet (dat verhuizen)
Ik ga in september naar regio JAvea om huizen te bezichtigen.
(Orba/Jalon/Jesus Pobre etc)

Na de hoeveelheid dat ik verhuisd heb… nope… ik denk dat het tijd is om ergens roots te creΓ«ren.
Ben nu aan het pakken voor de tijdelijke accommodatie. Tot we uit Spanje vertrekken. 🀞🏻🀞🏻 Door backlogs, delays duurt het allemaal een beetje langer. Zeker omdat we van continent veranderen.

Dat is een super regio. Ik raad je aan niet lager te gaan in Spanje. (Zeker niet rond Murcia)
Het zuiden is zo aan het veranderen. Het klimaat, de winters zijn te koud en de zomers te heet nu. De verschillen zijn meer extreem en ieder jaar meer. De huizen hier zijn er niet voor gebouwd. Zeker de huizen zonder verwarming en geen isolatie. De kou in de winter gaat in je botten zitten. Ook de mensen zijn aan het veranderen.

De regio waar jij kijkt is stukken beter. Beter weer ook.
Fijne dag verder @goldrooster πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Šβ˜€οΈ
Geniet van je trip in september!

Have a wonderful Wednesday β˜€οΈ
Happy to share…

You welcome

How are you dear friend @littlebee4 good day
What a charming place you show us this time, I love the architecture of the place, the beautiful period fountain, and the elevated streets
beautiful shots, I appreciate you letting us know
enjoy a wednesday walk

Good day to you my friend @jlufer πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘‹πŸ»
Thank you so much, happy to share this walk with you.
Along old places…
Enjoy your day further, hope you are ok and the walks are helping 🀞🏻😎

Wow that looks so beautiful!

And old. I love history and I can't wait to get to Spain to experience the history for myself! (that's why I need to keep that job!)

I would love to know how old that little church is. If I squint my eyes closed enough, I can almost see it in the old days well before the new buildings moved n and started bullying it...

I love history too @chocolatescorpi 😊 I did not have time to find out more this time.
But you are right. That little church does look old and seems to be exciting before all the other buildings.
That’s nicely said, bullying it… hehehe 🀭

Hope you can visit Spain one day. Not sure if I will be still here, as we are planning to move out. (We are planning to move out since last October, but encounter some delays)
Otherwise I would have shown you around for sure. πŸ€—πŸ₯°

Happy Wednesday πŸ‘‹πŸ»β˜€οΈ

Next time eh @littlebee4 !

So where do you plan on going??? Or coming to Australia maybe...? Wink Wink Nudge Nudge..πŸ˜ƒ

I still have your bedroom and bathroom ready here for your arrival...πŸ˜ƒ

The plan is going to the US. It’s a relocation with work. It just takes a while. Our move now is because the living conditions in this rental are not favourable anymore. Landlord isn’t fixing important things. And contract ends end of the month. So we move to another rental until our big move πŸ˜‰ we wait there…

We will for sure come one day to Australia… as even though our visit / trip was cancelled due to the pandemic. This included a family visit. This will go ahead one day and it would be lovely to visit you too 😊πŸ₯°
Have a wonderful weekend @chocolatescorpi
!LUV

WOW how exciting my friend!

I hope that it happens quickly for you now as you don't want to be stuck in a place that you're not happy in eh!

Well you know where I am and you will always have a home with e- even if it be for a day or a year!

It surely is all exciting @chocolatescorpi 🀩😊 can’t wait…
Yes, it is like our lives are on hold until the big move. Luckily we are patience 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻 It will happen.

Thank you soooo much dear friend πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—
Aawww you are such a sweetheart, likewise for you. Once we settled, and you want to visit😊

Awesome place.

I love to see old architecture and cities which keeps the cultural and historical values alive!

As always Amazing clicks and adventurous walk!!!

Have a great Wednesday to you.

Thank you so much @idksamad78699 😊πŸ₯° it was a nice wander around.
Me too, when culture is kept alive in cities it is so magical. Especially with old architecture around.
Thank you, enjoy your Wednesday πŸ‘‹πŸ»β˜€οΈπŸ’ƒπŸ»

My pleasure, happy for you!

when culture is kept alive in cities it is so magical. Especially with old architecture around.

Yea, indeed!!!!

Thanks!

It's a nice walk dear Jackie πŸ₯° I loved that old square with its cathedral, the picture has a vintage style and surely the place too, the murals and that particular structure you show us. Thanks for showing us a little bit of southern Spain πŸ₯°

I hope you are already in much better health, I send you a big hug πŸ€—

Happy to be able to share this little part of southern Spain with you.

This morning was much better and the first day that wasn’t rough in the morning, so I am confident that by the end of this week I’m 100% again πŸ˜πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»

I definitely will be photographing the scooter as well Jackie, beautiful shots!

It was sooooo cool to see Joe 😎🀩 I couldn’t just walk by. Hehehe 🀭
Hope your day is going well.
Have a wonderful evening πŸ‘‹πŸ»

Am doing great thanks. Hope you are as well.

I manage to come up with a story, I should have tagged you.

That’s good to hear. 😊

Yay… will have look and read it. I still have to write it. Maybe later this evening or tomorrow morning.

Cool thanks πŸ™‚

You are welcome Joe 😎

I had to show my wife this post as she lived not far from there across the border from Gibraltar for many years and visited that city a few times

she had told me how beautiful it was and now I can see what she meant i love it all especially those ceramic tiles and mosaics in that square it is amazing

this was such a great tour and showed us all the beauty and cool details

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

That’s great to hear @tattoodjay 😊😎 happy to be able to share these beautiful areas with you and your wife 😊
Yes, I remember she lived close to there… from our conversations.
There are many cute and beautiful places, one just needs to see them. πŸ₯°

Happy to join in as always!
Enjoy your Wednesday further πŸ‘‹πŸ»β˜€οΈπŸ’ƒπŸ»

she really enjoyed seeing your post and photos a pity I never got to visit that area but seeing it through your post :)

That’s wonderful to hear. To bad you didn’t see it.

Will share some more soon from that area.
We are moving 5 September to Sotogrande. It is close to La Linea.
This move was unplanned, but the living conditions were not good anymore in this apartment. Landlord doesn’t want to fix things, luckily the contract ends end of the month. I found a new rental closer to hubbies work. 24 min drive instead of 1 hour 15 minutes one way… so all good. And it has a garden 🀩
Packing boxes the next days.
I won’t unpack though… as we are still waiting for our big move πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€“ new rental has everything it is fully furnished.
Have a great evening both @tattoodjay

I look forward to seeing more, moving is always a pin but in this case the shorter commute and better conditions make it worth while

Thanks πŸ˜‰
It sure is… I moved too many times by now. Hehehe 🀭 hope soon after our big move (no idea yet when it will happen, but it will…we had some delays) we will settle down.

I to moved many times over the years
I think when I turned fifty I realized the longest I had lived in one place was 2 years lol
Well after I left home at 18

That’s a lot, like me.
My longest is probably 1,5 years… but I have to include childhood. As my parents moved around a lot too, even countries. I’m close to 50 moves now.
Let’s hope a few more, and we can settle down. As it is time for that.
Have a wonderful day today @tattoodjay πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Š good morning!

Haha. Thanks for the reminder. I read juntas... Have to go there tomorrow. πŸ˜‚πŸ€—πŸ’― Super lovely pics. Looks a bit like here in Portugal. Soooo familiar some styles. Love it. Have a wonderful day my dear @littlebee4. Huuuuugs to ya my friend. πŸ’―πŸ™πŸΌβ˜€οΈ

You are welcome @akida 😎
It is not that far away… from Portugal. The styles won’t be too different.
Thank you so much dear friend. Huggsss back at ya πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—
Enjoy your evening. Hope it isn’t too hot πŸ₯΅ here it is crazy… ppffff

It looks lovely. It has been a while since I visited Spain. ❀️

Thanks a lot @mypathtofire 😊 it was a lovely walk, even though not that long as it was hot.
Lately the temperature is climbing more and more… than years ago.
Happy I could show you a little bit more from Spain.
Have a great evening πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Š

Wow - what a stunning town - its beautiful. And i just loved the jouster on the moped !

Thank you so much @hoosie for checking out my post πŸ˜‰
Enjoy your day further!

Thank you for inviting me on your walk, it was the next best thing to actually visiting. πŸ’›

Aawww that’s nice @angiemitchell πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘‹πŸ» You came and walked with me through this small city in southern Spain. Thank you so much for that.
Have a good Thursday.

!PIZZA

What a beautiful city and walk! Loved the architecture and I could feel the charm of the place from your photos.

Thank you so much @sizzlinkola 😊 the architecture was cool to see in a place that normally doesn’t look that attractive as it has a lot of high rise buildings. But if you walk around and discover streets inside of it all. You can find some pretty things.
Have a wonderful Thursday πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘‹πŸ»β˜€οΈ

happy days, !! in the distance on your last snap I spot the port area that I had to visit every few weeks on business. I never thought I would see those big blue cranes again ha ha!! made me smile

Oh that’s pretty cool @grindle yep… you have a sharp eye. The port area of Algeciras, it is soooo large.
I visited once that area in 2019 when I needed vaccinations to travel to Cuba. They were given there.
Nice it made you smile. Have you been to the city itself? Or just the port.

We never visit the city, this was the first time and probably last, as… maybe you know… it isn’t that nice and rather dirty nowadays. We got sick after wandering around there and having lunch.

No I guess it was just the Port area, not much free time, to explore. breakfast work dinner bed rinse and repeat!!

I can imagine @grindle 😎 you haven’t missed a thing. As there are better places to visit in Spain πŸ˜‰πŸ€“ especially how it looked like not that long ago.

I just love that knight on the scooter!!! Wow, that's awesome!

Yes, those vases brighten up the day indeed. And I am fascinated by the churches in your photos. I love how they are situated right in the center of the city. It looks so inviting. Here by us, churches are normally built on their own free-standing (private) properties.

Thanks for taking us with you on your walk. I enjoyed all the detail...but I'll leave you, for now, to get back to your car...I understand, It's hot...lol😁

Just joking...I really enjoyed your photos, thank you, @littlebee4!

Enjoy the rest of your eveningπŸ‘‹!

Thanks so much my friend @jacoalberts πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘‹πŸ»
Hahaha yep it was such a hot day…

Yes, the knight in the scooter just made my day, he was soooo cool 😎
Glad I discovered him.

Churches are all like that, in the middle of towns or cities. Mostly surrounded and enclosed by other buildings. Not the big cathedrals those stand alone… as they are mostly massive in structures.
Interesting to hear about the differences. πŸ€“πŸ˜Ž

Happy to take you along on my adventures. Thank you for joining me. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘‹πŸ»
Have a wonderful evening too!

Yes, the scooter was just awesome. Not sure what it was, brand wise.

That’s a shame, but I’m sure in other places you do find cool stuff πŸ˜‰
I have seen some cool art in Miami.

@littlebee4 ,

I mean there is art here, don't get me wrong...
And some try pretty hard at it but,
The stuff they promote (except Austin) is mostly
Cowboy and Western themed kind of things...
It takes awhile to pick up on it till one day you say, hey wait a minute...πŸ€”πŸ˜²πŸ€“

Yes, my flu/bad cold/ Covid is gone luckily. It took me 4 weeks 😣
I still am careful to not overdo it, as that is easy, packing boxes.
I’m happy yay πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ»

Good you did and got some more writing done. Great to hear @lesmann

Hubby discovered last evening at the front gate that there was a box full with letter addressed for this Urbanizacion. Guess what there were 3 letters for me in there too when he went through.
They never properly delivered them. 😳 just collected somewhere and thought now, ow the box is getting full let’s bring it.
So all letters for me were important ones, that were too late with delivery.
So had to write letters (4 of them) yesterday to correct all. And now I have to go to the post office this morning to send them tracked, and signed for by delivery in the Netherlands 😳 that important are they.
It got me mad… but I couldn’t change it. It will cost me 6,25 euros each letter. Aaawww hope they arrive well. As even with tracking they get lost in Spain. Happened a few times so far.
Another This is Spain thing for you. 🀨 the not delivery of post I mean.

All next to packing and wrapping hehehe 🀭 but all good, I don’t let me influence by it. πŸ˜‰

Thank you kindly @lesmann 😊😎
You too, have an amazing midweek! Enjoy it.
Bee 🐝 happy and let the positivity overflow ✨🐝✨🐝✨🐝✨
Take care and stay safe.
