La Mamola is in the Granada Province, almost directly south from Granada and on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

The village of La Mamola is located off the main N340/E15 coastal road, and is a traditional sea-side fishing village located on the ever increasingly popular Costa Tropical region of Southern Spain.

It has approximately 800 inhabitants which increases slightly in the summer months. There are around 8 beach restaurants and bars, a street market on Thursday's a school, supermarkets, bank, post office, bakers, fish market, Doctors and Chemist.

The village is approximately 3 km long with a beach stretching nearly the whole length of the village. The sea is very clean, safe and extremly blue, with a climate of sunshine for virtually the whole year.

The area is called Costa Tropical as the temperature doesn't often fall below 18°C in the winter or rise above 28°C in the summer. The area is ideal for farming and most of Europe's vegetables are grown here.

Welcome back, Robi. So you were in Granada again, as it seems .. A moody end-of-day seaside impression, with a good use of the silhouettes at the right to balance the framing, and a delightful color setting. I also like the low-key light and how it subtly brings forward the surface details of the sea.

hi robert welcome back love the colours of the setting sun and the reflections in the sea and the silhouetted tower look forward to seeing more

The structure on the right of the image and the mountains adds weight against the beautiful sky. It provides me a safe place for my eyes to rest. Excellent DOF and POV Robert!

Hi Robert, good to see you around again! Beautiful sunset, unbelievable that you can go skiing within just an hours drive... I think a more panoramic crop with a little less sea would also be good here.

I hope you had a good holiday (lucky man) - I am looking forward to your posts - this is a good start! - fine colours and POV - seems like a beautiful place :)

Ho Robert,

this is a very romantic shot. Very soft, beautiful colors. Nice focus, not too much sharpness, overall very smooth and gentle. I also like the way the tower on the cliff dominates the surroundings, itsvery dramatic. I know from your other photos you have a real liking for old buildings. This one os very well done.

hi Robert

Superb this view and clarity you cacth on foreground the sky is amazing and i like a lot the "cold" mood of colors here.
great shot.
cheers
greg

Bonjour Robert,
un ciel avec de merveilleuses couleurs qui aurait peut-être pu avoir un peu plus de place sur ta photo avec un cadrage plus haut, le bas avec la mer étant un peu moins interessant.
Bonne gestion de l'exposition et une grande netteté.
A good job.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Robert,
Well captured, lovely light and colours and good sharpness. The colour reflection on sea is very nice.
