I was woken by the sound of very heavy rain on the cabin roof at around 07:30. This was a full on thunderstorm and lasted for about an hour with strong SW winds.
Later at around 10:30 the clouds had passed and normal service was resumed. The sun was out and I decided to have a wander about town and buy a ticket to the bullfight.
On the way into town the road leading to the marina was flooded from the earlier storm.
The Iglesia Major Prioral in Plaza de España. This was originally built in 1486 though it has been modified over the centuries.
An external shot of the Tomas Nitri Flamenco Club I visited two weeks ago. There will be another show tonight.
Just around the corner the Parish church of San Joaquin
Then on to the Plaza de Toros to book a ticket but I was too late. The last bullfight of the season took place last week.
Sculpture outside the Plaza.
The Plaza was built in 1880. Front entance with another sculpture.
I was in a supermarket when the heavens open again. Not wanting to get soaked I had a coffee and waited. This was really heavy rain and quite a contrast to the weather over the past few weeks.
The storm drains were unable to cope.
After waiting an an hour and a half I took a run for it when the rain eased. The easing was temporary and I was completely soaked on the short ride back to the boat.
