Camino flowers: Castro Urdiales

Hello, everyone.

One of the nice things about setting the huge pile of Camino pictures to be a rotating desk background is the way it reminds me of various things we saw.

Today, a photo of the flowers growing out of the seaside cliff at Castro Urdiales.

For those who are keeping track, this is not far from the seagull nest that was also photographed. I thought at the time that these flowers were some kind of aloe, but am not nearly so certain about the identification now. The agave behind the orange flowers I am still confident about--south Texas has many agaves in yards to look at--but the others may be some other thing altogether.

It's amazing how the tons of rain the north coast of Spain gets produces loads of pretty flowers in some of the most impossible looking spots.
