Had a day of historical ruins today. First visit was to ruined Roman villa at Abicada. Not really signposted at all but hidden at the end of a dirt road surrounded by a fence. They have run out of money and have closed the excavation down. Shame as it looks to be a substantial complex..Set at the head of the estuary looking out to sea in a commanding position. Hopefully it will be properly explored in the future.
From here we went to Alcalar a little way inland up a lovely valley, to visit the site of a ancient Necropolis.
These are funeral temples from the third millenium BC and are set on a hillock. One of the temples has been reconstructed into what would have been its probable form.
Also the remains of a Lime Kiln and a Thollos are very interesting
