Southern Spain - Summer 1986 |
|
|
|
Some shots of Spain. I was fortunate enough to spend a summer on the Costa del Sol, on an exchange program. I learned about wine, women, and song, as well as learing Castillian Spanish, which I still know today. I first heard the song "Tarzan Boy" (by the now deceased artist Maurizio Bassi, aka Baltimora) in Spain, and was hooked on new wave from then onwards. |

A view of Oria from the bell-tower of the local church. I managed to climb up a rickety stone and wood staircase to be rewarded for this view. |

A typical view of the southern Spanish countryside. The climate to the south is dry and arid, in contrast to the north, which is more alluvial. |
