Roman Aqueduct
So off we went one Sunday....
The Aqueduct was built by the Romans during their reign over parts of Andalucia. They ruled parts of Spain for 700 years. Almunecar began as a Phoenician colony.
The Aqueduct served as a valuable supply of fresh water to the town but also supplied water for the fish salting industry that was prevalent in the town – there are the remains of a Phoenician salting factory in one of the parks.
Part of the Aqueduct is in the town and there is a section of the aqueduct that provides a glimpse of what the Roman engineers were capable of. Originally it was 8km. There are more Aqueducts in the area – I will have to go and find them.

Three Peaks Challenge!
So I will start with a little background. My younger sister Ellie has been very interested in basketball since she was five years old. At six she was signed up to a local basketball club, Redditch Basketball, run by Dave Bradshaw in our local area, he accepted Ellie joining the team however she was much younger and smaller than anyone else. This didn’t stop Ellie she worked hard and attended many training sessions and games, to begin with she may only have played a few minutes when it came to match days, as you can imagine as a little female six year old she was playing with older boys who towered over her. But it didn’t take long before basketball became much more than fun. ..

BUT…
