It sounds like there is work going on dredging the entrance to the marina.
A lady called Jayne who is staying in the port area at the moment has been in touch. She saw some lorries removing sand and gravel from the beach near to the entrance of the marina.
I am guessing the sand has come from the clearing of the entrance to the marina.So boats do not get caught up on it.
Looks like a chunk of Spain might get another bout of calima tomorrow. The article here on Euro Weekly News site has details.
Looking at the map I am not sure whether our part of Spain will get some or not.
It might be a bad weather day tomorrow even if the dust does not come. As the 3 weather forecasts I use are all pointing to very strong winds tomorrow. It might be no golf for me for one or two reasons.
The article here on the Sur In English site serves as a timely reminder about coronavirus. Particularly for the over 60s - "Andalucía’s Covid incidence rate in the over-60s rises to 606 as 49 more deaths are added".
It is still with us and it is still dangerous. So please be careful.
My goodness me it is getting warm here now.
The article here on the Diario de Almería says that we might get record May temporatures in the province in the next few days.

I think Jacqui and Sharon might be in bed by the time Alan and I get home from the match.
Given the amount of wine consumed in Almerimar I think this BBC guide to wine tasting might be of interest to some people.
UPDATED - added a link to an article about previous promotions to the first division
Last night both Valladolid and Eibar won. That means that Almería are still top of the table. Now 2 points ahead of Eibar and 4 points ahead of Valladolid.
Our next match is at home to Alcorcon at 21:00 on Saturday 21 May. They are bottom of the table and have already been relegated. Fingers crossed for a good result next Saturday. I think it will be a sell out. With the tickets probably going on sale tomorrow morning.
Updated - While doing a search of articles to publish I found the one here on the Diario de Almería site. We have only ever been promoted to the first division when playing at home. Hopefully that is a good amen for next Saturday.
The Spanish article also has some more photos in it.
