It was sunny today! And much nicer than yesterday, our Siesta day.
We took small roads to the town of Palm Mar; it felt a bit like a holiday village for very rich people, but that didn‘t deter us. There‘s a path along the rocky beach that‘s easy enough to follow, but I‘d recommend good shoes if you plan to do so. Not your typical beach walk.
We walked along the beach for a bit before we sat down at a quiet place between the rocks, the orange lichen and the cacti to meditate to the sound of the surf. To me, just watching the waves roll in and do their thing is incredibly relaxing. It‘s also something I could do for a long time.
After a while though we headed back and decided to have lunch in a beach bar, which turned out to be a very expensive beach bar belonging to a probably very expensive hotel. Rich people‘s place, remember? But we had our lunch there anyhow. The food was good, at least – Caesar salad for me and grilled artichokes with Serrano ham for my wife.
We decided to drive to Los Gigantes next, huge cliffs at the Western side of the island. We managed to find the small road at the coast instead of going on the boring motorway.
Suitably impressed by the view, comparing it to the Cliffs of Moher and even to Kilt Rock in Scotland, we felt that we had seen enough of the sea for the day. We had an ice-cream from a French man running an English pub on a Spanish island and then headed back to our hotel.
