An impression of the day:

Good atmosphere, lovely weather and nice people.  What more do you need for a nice day out?

all shades off pink

Blossom time in the Alpujarras.  Its really worth the visit.  For the moment every almond tree in the region is in flowers.  All shades of white over pink to purple can be seen.
