Here are some pics from my windsurfing adventure in La Manga. La Manga (which means "the sleeve" due to its geographical shape) is in the province of Murcia in southeastern Spain and makes up part of la Costa Calida (the Wam Coast.) They say that it has 320 days of sun, which menas that while most of Spain was rainy and crappy
, it was warm and sunny in La Manga...THANK GOD!!! It wasn't hot summer weather but warm enough to be on the beach in a bathing suit (check out mine for the 2007 beach season...i can get you one if you act fast!!) and many people were. I actually got a little red, but am now on my way to bronzed godess status. La Manga is a long skinny strip of land that separates the Mediterranean from the Mar Menor (the Little Sea, which is 
really a large salt water lake.) The Mediterranean was a bit chilly (think water in Jersey in July) but the Mar Menor was like a nice tepid bath. Because it is not very deep and very salty, combined with the sunny days it stays prett
y warm all year long. It's a very popular watersport area, and there were lots of people windsurfing and kite surfing...I don't think I can really count myself among those who were actually doing it, but I tried! I managed to sail for a record of 10 seconds (one mississippi, two mississippi...) - pretty impressive! It's hard, but fun. I'd be willing to try it again. (ok, i really just only want to wear the wetsuit!)
