Revisting the South



As usual, we got up for sunset and headed out to the dunes. The sunset was pretty good, bathing the dunes in warm light, giving them great shape and bring out all the patterns in them. After breakfast we headed back down to the south again to Sotavento the beach we'd been to before. The weather was clear all the way down but the moment we got to the beach, it clouded over, much to our luck. We headed down to the town of Morro Jable for lunch. The town turned out to be a great place and we went to a lovely restaurant for lunch with great soups. The beach here was a lovely pale yellow with stunning clear water.

The rain clouds followed us here but I managed to get some great moody photos over the water. We headed back to Sotavento beach and found a great view overlooking the beach which, by this time was sunny. We eventually got to the beach and it was sunny for a bit while I got some photos. It then clouded over and in the distance looking like a great storm was brewing. We had a lovely walk on the beach and it was more beautiful than we'd previously thought with lots of sand bars on the edge of the beach and almost a lake in the middle of it it and mountains in the distance.

We then decided to drive over to the west coast which is supposed to be barren and rugged. We went to a little town called La Pared which had a spectacular coastline and beach with cliffs and mountains in the distance. We watched the sunset which was amazing and our last. This was probably the best sunset we'd seen at ground level. After the drama of that, we headed home for our last dinner which was rabbit and a great meal to finish the holiday with.
