Welcome to Walkclickmake

David Firman, photographer, writer and creator of WalkClickMake. I'm usually behind the camera which makes this photo fairly rare. Thanks to my wife, Gail Perry for taking it (we were on the Camino de Santiago) and, more importantly, editing the text for every post!

Walking Coast To Coast in Andalucía: Day 28 Tarifa A day-long beach walk On the Atlantic coast On fine white sand Across ocean-carved stone coves With a hard wind at our backs Pushing us To Bolonia To the Roman city, Baelo Claudio To the end of our Andalusian trek To our next long walk 29/05/19 20.8km/56m ascent/55m descent #spain #andalucia #olympusomdem5markii #olympus1240pro #beachwalk #longwalks #longdistancewalking #romanruins #baeloclaudio #boloniabeach #boloniacadiz #playabolonia #landscapephotography #photowalk #photostories

Walking Coast To Coast in Andalucía: Day 27 El Pelayo Down a stream Down a country trail To the Mediterranean (once again, after 19 days walking) Weaving along the coastline Dipping down to beach coves Climbing (slightly) to headlands Passing gun emplacements from past wars Following old drovers's paths To Tarif Where Atlantic meets Mediterranean Where Romans, Moors, Christians fought Where fishers, wind surfers, kite surfers gather 28/05/19 17.3km/269m ascent/495m descent #spain #andalucia #olympusomdem5markii #olympus1240pro #longwalks #longdistancewalking #mediterranean #tarifa #tarifastyle #calamari #landscapephotography

Walking Coast To Coast in Andalucía: We Have Arrived! My postings have fallen behind schedule. But they will come soon! In the meantime, a quick report is in order. Today, Gail and I arrived in Bolonia, the final destination in our Andalucian Coast to Coast walk. After 21 days walking, covering 444 kilometers and many thousands of meters climbing and descending (and occasionally falling), we are both so pleased to have successfully completed our most challenging long distance walk yet. Here's to a life on two feet! #longdistancewalking #longwalks #spain #andalucia #olympusomdem5markii #olympus1240pro #boloniabeach #challenges

Walking Coast To Coast in Andalucía: Day 26 Los Barrios Gently up Forest Roads Cork oak forests Mountain vistas Gibraltar Morocco! A leisurely climb Then... One last kilometre Down through bramble, thicket All things prickly Down unmarked slopes Lost, scratched, bloodied Then, finally... El Pelayo 28/05/19 25.5km/575m ascent/350m descent #spain #andalucia #travelphotography #olympusomdem5markii #olympus1240pro #hyperlite #longwalks #longdistancewalking #gibraltar

Walking Coast To Coast in Andalucía: Day 25 Castillo de Castellar Hard to leave But... Down La Calzada (a Roman road) Level paths, dirt roads, paved highways To Venta Juan Carlos (a rare restaurant meal at lunchtime) Gently up quiet roads (Gibraltar is so close) Steeply down trails To Los Barrios 26/05/19 26.9km/379m ascent/620m descent #spain #andalucia #travelphotography #olympusomdem5markii #olympus1240pro #landscapephotography #longwalks #longdistancewalking #documentaryphotography #photostories #photowalk

Walking Coast To Coast in Andalucía: Day 24 Castillo de Castellar A welcome day of rest. And what a place to veg out. Castillo is, as you might guess, a castle. One that dates back in its present Moorish form to the 13th Century. Positioned high on a hilltop, with Gibraltar clearly visible on the horizon, the castle has been a strategic point for both Muslim and Christian nations, who battled back and forth for control of this Andalucian frontier. Spain's Catholic forces won the battle in 1492 but the castle retains its early Moorish underpinnings. The tiny village behind the fort is a maze of crooked streets, all white plaster with splashes of colourful flowers everywhere. The castle itself is now a hotel and, much to our surprise, our 'superior double room' turned out to be a three storey suite with the top level being an open turret-cum-patio with 360° views over all of Andalucia as well as Gibraltar and Morocco. Take a look Gail's guided video tour on my blog at WalkClickMake.com or on YouTube at WalkClickMake. 25/05/19 #moorsinspain #castillodecastellar #olympusomdem5markii #olympus1240pro #spain #andalucia #courgette #catsofinstagram #documentaryphotography #travelphotography #castillodecastellar @tugasahoteles
