After a rubbish sleep we got up and drove out to the sand dunes for the first time. The dunes are blindingly bright and softly and undulating in comparison to somewhere like the Sahara but are still beautiful in their own right. We saw the beautiful sea and beaches here for the first time as well. We quickly drove back to the apartment, had breakfast in Corralejo and headed back out to the beach.
The first beach we went to had lovely white sand the the sea was a pretty blue aquamarine. The water was very clear and we had a nice swim which was refreshing but not freezing cold. We then drove to another town called El Cotillo which is reputed to have a lovely beach. The beach was a beautiful crescent of white sand with clear water which wouldn't look out of place in the Caribbean if it had Palm trees. We ate lunch at a restaurant on the beach and had great goats cheese and had a small boozy lunch which was great. The sun shone for the whole time we were at lunch but the moment we left, clouds rolled in. We stayeduntil sunset which was ok before heading back to Corralejo.
Corralejo is a tourist town with a lack of character in places (mainly the new part) but the main harbour is quite cute and has some lovely restaurants, one of which we went to had the best chorizo we've ever had and the tuna stuffed onions was excellent.

Hello writer. I have to say that I really do think that yourself and your companion were extremely brave when you were surrounded by those terrifying little cockroach monsters!!! I for one would probably have been physically sick and would have probably wanted to go home!!! However you both seem to be very sensible and not easily panicked or given to hysteria. I doubt if many folk would have handled the situation in such a calm wayas you did. Well done, you both sounds like very sensible chaps!!
I concur with the fellow who mentioned the 'roaches.. And I also want to congratulate you on your photographs.... Stunning
Wotcha!
