... and shards of multicoloured sunlight shattered across the villa floor. A slight haze diffused the early morning sun as fresh tea was prepared for the Silver Vixen.
No significant plan for the day, but a general potter around the area. We started by looking for Jardins del Atlantico, expecting them to be "gardens". They turned out to be a banana-themed tour of the banana platations. This was a disappointmnet as they had been so difficult to find to start with.
We peeled off from this idea and headed towards Palm Mar. This is a new development on the south-western most tip of the island, separated from Los Christianos by vertical cliffs and an a nature reserve. You can imagine that in a year or two this will be a busy and bustling resort, but now it is dominated by building works.
Heading up the east coast we stopped at El Medano. Walking along the boardwalk we watched the windsurfers make the most of the strong breeze. We walked through the small centarl area and stopped for lunch at a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the bay. The view was excellent, but the food and service were, at best, mediocre.
After lunch we continued our exploration of the area and the next bay along. As we strolled back, the tide was on its way out, and the beach was decorated with tiger-like striations of the black volcanic sand against the background of yellow imported Saharan sand.
