La leyenda de la playa de la ballena
Se cuenta que hace mucho tiempo, cuando los animales hablaban con los hombres, después de surcar los siete mares desde los confines del mundo, una mañana de abril, frente a las costas de Cádiz, se divisó el potente surtidor de una ballena.

Una majestuosa ballena que había consagrado su vida a buscar la tierra donde las estaciones fuesen templadas, un paraíso donde la humanidad viviera al calor del sol y en paz, junto a doradas playas, ríos de aguas cristalinas y fértiles llanuras de suave o­ndulación.

Al saber que por fin había encontrado su santuario, la vieja ballena, ya cansada, se dispuso a morir sobre la inmaculada arena de tan anhelada playa, contemplando la más hermosa puesta del Sol.

Desde entonces, según narra la leyenda, dicho paraje se conoce por Costa Ballena.


El Lago

Costa Ballena, es un resort turístico situado entre las poblaciones de Rota y Chipiona, en la provincia de Cadiz, está formado por multiples urbanizaciones de estilos muy variopintos, y todas ellas situadas entorno a un campo de golf. Pero éste a mi entender no es su principal atractivo, sino el respeto con el que se ha edificado cerca de la linea de playa, que se mantiene casi natural, y su lago artificial.

Contenido inicial:
  • Libreta de registro
  • Lapiz pequeño
  • Chapa de cerveza magnetica de Canada
  • Chapa de cerveza Coronita, sin doblar
  • Pin chile picante
  • Pin Public Enemy
  • Muñegote verde
  • Muñegote naranja

The whale beach leyend
Once upon a time, when animals spoken with humans, after cross the seven seas, he confines of the world, an april's morning, in front of Cadiz coasts, it could make out the powerful jet of a whale.

A majestic whale, which had dedicated its life to search the land where the seasons were mild, a paradise where humanity live under the sun hot and in peace, close to golden beachs, rivers of clear waters and fertile plains of smoothly waves.

Once Whale finally knowns it has found its sanctuary, the old whale already tired, it got ready to die over the immaculate sands of so longer for beach, contemplting the most beautiful sunset.

Since then, just as the legend narrates, the above-mentioned place it's known as Whale's Coast.

Costa Ballena (Whale's Coast) it's a turistic resort, placed between Rota a Chipiona towns in the Province of Cadiz. The resort is compossed by many urbanizations, all of then placed around a course. But in my opinion this isn't the main atractive, but the respectulf way the urbanization has been builded close to the coast line, keeping the beach almost wild. And I like too the lake of the resort.

Initial setting:
  • Logbook
  • Small pencil
  • Magnetic beer cap bottle from Canada
  • Coronita's beer cap bottle
  • Red hot chille pin
  • Public Enemy pin
  • Green strange toy
  • Orange strange toy

Aproveitando um fim de semana alargado em terras de Portugal resolvi fazer uma incursão em terras Espanholas e instalei-me no camping da Costa Ballena.
A cache estava perto e não me podia escapar.
Foi chegar e logar. O local é muito bonito.
