The main focus of our holiday today was a morning visit to “The cradle of The Discovery”, to the Monastery of Santa Maria de la Rábida where Christopher Columbus lived whilst he was planning his voyage of discovery. Then we visited the Muelle de las Carabelas, a wharf where it is possible to see the Santa Maria, Pinta and Niña, replicas of the ships that set sail from this place on August 3, 1492.





The wharf is on the estuary of the Rio Tinto and here I took the opportunity to photograph a few birds.
