At the end of 2007 we spent a week at the Spanish coast. The region - Costa del Sol - is infamous for being the worst destination in Spain, thanks to large-scale urban development in the last two decades. But from Paul Theroux’s descriptions in The Pillars of Hercules I had gathered that the place would be deserted in winter. It was just the kind of beach holiday we were looking for.
EQUIPMENT
1) Leica D Lux 3
2) Canon EOS 300D, with the EF 50 mm f/1.8 II lens (which worked inconsistently through this trip due to a problem with the lens contact points - so most of the pictures are from the Leica)
