One of our Snowbird day trips while in Costa del Sol, Spain, took us to a relaxing green space just off the free train ride to Montemar. The Battery Park was originally used in WW1 and WW2, but has been transformed into a space for the people with lots of fountains and fanciful statues of fairies, Neptune and mythic creatures as well as a pond for small boats in the summer. The viewing tower provides a lovely panoramic view of the coastal community, near Torremolinos. There is also a public elevator tower to bring people from lower street level to the elevated park level.
It was of special interest to Cathy, because her father worked, as a chemist, with the ammunitions used in WW2 in Halifax, NS.
The 4 cannons here were originally horse drawn canons used in WW1, but were remounted on a vehicular drawn base for WW2.
