So today was then consequently yesterday’s plan A – took the bus to La Pared, a tiny little resort on the north coast (with even a golf course, canary style with mostly gravel instead of grass).

From there it was basically straight into the desert; the ‘vultures’ were already waiting for me:

The weather forecast had promised rain – and it actually did rain, a little bit.

Walked past a large wind farm.

Some alive and some dead goats.

And more sand dunes, with beautiful far views because I’m quite high above the sea actually.

Then the path dips down towards south into the Barrenco de Pecenescal, which forms a strict line between dune-y desert and black rocky mountains.

The path is again in the river bed, but although it had rained a little, there is no water whatsoever. But the bushes seem a lot fresher than earlier – probably just washed off the dust.

The route takes me under the highway and the out to the south coast.

I take a short lunch break in a little shelter (it’s raining some more now), on top of some cliffs with a view out over the sea.

The path follows the coast up onto the cliffs and the down into some barranco canyon, and the up, and down, and…

Until it finally just walks along the beach itself.

Getting close to Morro Jable, there is endless of ugliest resorts and hotels. And more rain.

But also some cool graphity and the salt marsh lagoon.

Today was a double-stage of easy and flat-ish 31,5 lightweight kilometers.
