SUMMER MORNINGS AT EL PORTET BEACH, MORAIRA - SPAIN

There is nothing like spending our summer morning at the El Portet Beach in Moraira. It is the most civilized beach in the world as far as we are concerned. It is a 5 minute drive from our home and we go early to get a good parking spot. Then we order our cafe con leche. I go for a dip and Jose reads the newspaper. Then, just as the tourists start to arrive, we pack up and head home to begin our work day. This is the only way to live and work. Life on the coast rocks!
