Sublime Sunday - Costa del Sol Promenade
Welcome to #SublimeSunday, a tag presenting you with the unique opportunity to post something a bit different, wacky, crazy or just whatever takes your fancy, initiated by @c0ff33a ☕️
The Costa del Sol is getting busier. As the school holidays and the summer holidays kicked in, there are more and more tourist arrivals. This is one of the most important tourists area in Spain. It span 150 km of sun, sand and beach, hotels and apartments, shops, cafes and restaurants, bars and clubs.

It is a great place for a walk, any time of the day. You will find that every walk is always different, even if you take the same route. There is always something new to see, or something happening. If nothing else, the mere sight and so many people having a good time will immediately relaxes you. A walk on the Costa del Sol promenade is never boring.
If you walk along the beach, you will smell suntan lotion. If you walk along the promenade, you will smell Espeto – sardine skewers – sardines skewed with cane and roasted with firewood. Along the beach, most of the restaurants will have this on their menu. It is a considered a local specialty.
I just realized I do not have a decent picture of the sardines on skewers. Sorry about that Basically, a fire of coal is built in the pit shaped like a ship, and they roast the skewers over the fire.
Another common sight on the promenade are hawkers – Africans hawking their wares - usually imitation goods like shoes, bags, wallets, tee-shirts, watches, sunglasses....
And African ladies braiding hairs.
What style would you like your hair braided today?

You are perfectly selling me on the Costa Del Sol, looks like you know all the best locations for an enjoyable seaside visit. Loving the boat fire pit - it looks awesome and I bet the sardines on skewers Yate great.
Street sellers crop up all over, I saw many in Brazil but they do often have some unique wares.
I wish I had enough hair left to braid lol.

The Costa del Sol is a great place for holidays - if you are a beach person.
You will be surprised, but I have yet to try the espetos yet. Maybe one of these days. Then I will post about it. :-)
Yes, the hawkers do have some very unique wares. :-)

Howdy sir Vincent! did you get your hair braided? How do those sardines taste?
My hair is too short to be braided. I haven't had the sardines yet. I expect they taste like sardines. 🤣
I expect a post about sardines shortly sir Vincent! You can't talk about how popular they are and not get some and tell us about them, how they taste and how they prepare them. lol.
Didn't I tell you I am allergic to fish? 😊
You may have mentioned that in a post but I don't recall it no...wow...what about your friend? have him order it so you can get some good pictures you know, for the sake of your post. lol.
Just pulling your leg. No, I am not allergic to anything. :-)
lol! good one sir Vincent! I thought you were totally allergic to fish. lol!
