Usually a beautiful clean sandy beach with the shoreline a good 200metres away, the storm Emma hit El Puerto de Santa Maria on Wednesday 28th February bringing high winds, severe rain and tonnes of debris.

This was our lovely bay when we arrived 6 weeks ago. Gently lapping waves on a yellow sand strip……heaven.

This was our bay on Saturday morning. Apart from the tonnes of glass and plastic bottles, plastic bags, bits of rope, pot plant containers, umbrellas, tin cans and metal items, there was soo much water that the beach had gone! The waterline was 10 feet away!!

Some strange debris was left behind….
 However on Sunday morning the shoreline had receeded so far that the rocks were exposed and the beach had become a rock scape….

 

How queer!!! What a wonderful world we live in!!’,
