White Storks in Spain


Down in southern Spain is a place called Almoraima which is a cotton growing area. Situated roughly North East of Gibraltar it is also home to a large colony of white storks which build their nests on top of the electricity pylons at the side of the railway lines.
Some of the pylons have actually had special man made platforms built up above the lines to save the storks from getting electrocuted as they fly in and out of their nests.

Spanish Village



A photo taken from the AVE train on the way from Madrid to Barcelona showing one of the small villages on the way.
Sadly I dont know exactly where it was or what the village is called, but it looked so picturesque as we were passing and managed to take this photo as the train was speeding passed at about 280km per hr!
