Sunday's here in Mojacar for us are usually a low key affair...it's a 'do whatever happens' sort of day. We just let it evolve & see what the day brings us..
We decided that we would visit Villaricos market which occurs each Sunday morning as we needed fresh vegetables for soups and also our evening meal..
On the way along the Paseo towards Mojacar we noticed a Seat 600 classic car meet along the front. So we parked up and walked towards the crowd that was gathering...
The Seat 600 was made in Spain from 1957 until 1973 under licence by Fiat. The vehicle has become an icon of the period and it's not hard to see why with these beauties on display! All colours shapes and sizes were parked up..quite beautiful!
It appears from the various badges and banners on the cars that the enthusiasts had traveled from afar afield as Almeria and Cartagena.
We then traveled onwards to Villaricos which is approx 20 kms along the ALP118 to visit the Sunday market.
Villaricos is a small, unspoilt fishing village which maintains a typical Spanish feel. It has two harbours that sit at each end of the village linked by a broad promenade which is very pleasant to stroll along at a leisurely pace. The Sunday market meanders through the streets and within the village square.
On the way back to Mojacar we took a detour through Vera Playa and ended up driving through a residential area. We pulled over to admire a beautifully manicured garden/floral area running down the centre of the carriageway. The abundance of plants and flowers were quite staggering and someone had spent a huge amount of time and effort tending to this wonderful display and we both thoroughly enjoyed wondering through it and snapping photos...
All in all we've had a lovely day...even if it started to rain later on....
Next time I'll show you some crochet 'scrumptiousness'.....promise!!
