The days are moving fast! It is beautiful to train in the area around Calpe, although a few things are irritating me. Or maybe irritation is not the right word, dissappointment is what I feel. I'm talking about all the buildings near the sea side. Awful concrete flats are placed everywhere! I know that these buildings and their tourism make our team trip possible, but still I don't like them. I feel dissappointed that we human beings are able to ruin a beautiful coast like this.

Constantly I try to imagine how this spanish coast would look like without all these flats. I try to erase them, but it is impossible! Fortunately we make some kilometers in our trainings and so we see the nature around Calpe too. But don't go in the direction of Benidorm! There things are even worse!

I love to travel, but tourism can damage so much. Many people live from tourism and these flats are maybe better than industrial plants, but I hope that one day we manage to combine the beauty of the nature with the tourism.
