Tabarca Island

"The island's waters are officially declared a Mediterranean Marine Reserve for their excellent quality and for the biodiversity of their flora and fauna.


Tabarca is the only inhabited island in the Region of Valencia and is located opposite the city ofAlicante, 11 nautical miles offshore and near the Santa Pola headland. In fact, it’s more than just an island: it’s a small archipelago that comprises the islets of La Cantera, La Galera and La Nao as well as the Isla de Tabarca itself. It is approximately 1,800 metres long and measures some 400 metres across at its widest point.

In the past, its shores were a refuge for Berber pirates and, in the 18th century, King Carlos III ordered the island to be fortified and a town built, in which to house several families of Genoese fishermen who were being held prisoner in the Tunisian city of Tabarka.

The walls surrounding the town have been officially declared a Historical and Artistic Site and an Asset of Cultural Interest."

So Tabarca in the picture as you may have guessed.

Nelson had his second check in with the vet. He cleaned the wound and gave another shot of antibiotics. The wound is clean, but open. I'll clean it tomorrow and we visit the vet again on Saturday. So far so good with the progress of the paw.
