Ermita de San Miguel

This photo shows how close the fire came to the Ermasita. The shrine is at the top of Calahonda and is said to look over Calahonda and protect it. Well if this is true it sure did its job, down a little way behind the wire fence is a block of apartment so the fire came within 50 meters. Actually I think it was the terrific job that was done by the fire department, all the aircraft throwing water and soil on the fire. Also the Bomberos. It is thought these fires which broke out in several places were the work of arsonists. No doubt in due course we will find out and hopefully those responsible will be brought to justice, although I am not sure what punishment could be enough for the mindless vandals that have caused this devastation.
