A bit farther away from the sea than we are staying, we find the hillside town of Cómpeta. As you can see above, it is spread across the side of several hills. It is clearly a place with lots of ex-pats (most noticeably English) but it is not a tourist destination. It is a town for people to settle and live. As a result, at the street level, it is not so picturesque. Or perhaps, it was the lack of a clear blue sky above that made the town feel a bit more ordinary.
