Salobrena

It's been so hot lately in Granada ever since we returned from our trip to Belgium, and since Halee and I really have been wanting to get another beach trip in before it starts cooling off again, we went to Salobrena.  Salobrena is the closest beach town from Granada, about a 45 minute drive south.  Halee, Doug, Lexi and I got on the bus early this morning and made our way to the coast.  We were one of the first groups on the beach in the early afternoon, but by the end of the day the beach had filled up quite nicely.  

The water at Salobrena was really relaxing because it seemed more like a pool than an ocean, since the water was so calm and clear.  There were also lots of little pebbles instead of sand, so Doug and I had a little rock skipping contest (I won) and at the end of the day we weren't covered in sand, like all other days at the beach.  It was also really interesting because the water got deep really fast, so we didn't need to go out far for a nice swim.  

I know its hard to see in this picture, but Salobrena was surrounded by little white houses along the mountains and cliff.  I loved it!

All of us got a good amount of rest on the beach and then around five, we packed up and caught the bus back home.  All in all, it was a great trip, hopefully I can go back next weekend too!
