Where can you find a beach these days, in Spain, easily accessible, on foot, by bike or car and public transport, next to the gorgeous boulevard, with amenities like showers and toilets, plenty of space, a lovely gently sloping seabed, a volleyball field, and only 3 beach bars? It's here. The beach gets cleaned every day, and is simply a joy for a relaxed day, or just to pop out every day for an hour or so. My favourite beach!

This sculpture dominates the town's beach and is a popular spot for families, walkers, lovers and fishermen. The sculpture is set on a breakwater some metres into the sea. On a calm day you can easily visit it without getting wet. However, on a day when the sea is choppy it is a spectacular sight as waves break against the jetty and spray showers the sculpture. If you are taken in by the horns and imagine the creature depicted in the sculpture to be a bull (as many tourists do) you may be totally puzzled by the figure within the animal. However, the name of the sculpture gives the game away. It is called Pasiphaë. If you know your Greek mythology you will know that she was the wife of King Midas. The king upset the sea god Poseidon and for punishment the god made Pasiphaë fall madly in love with a spectacular white bull. The bull, however, was obviously not attracted to a human female. So, she had Daedalus (the inventor and father to Icarus) construct an artificial cow and hid herself inside it in order for her passion to be consummated. The resulting child of this brief encounter would be the minotaur. A combination of the abstract, the mythological and the figurative, the sculpture is well worth a visit.
