The road through the Parque Natural de Corralejo goes straight through the desert. People can park their cars on either side of the road and then walk across the dunes to the beach.

A dune and a photographer.

People slide down the dunes or even make cartwheels.

When we had had enough of the sand, we headed south. The landscape around La Oliva is spectacular.
|
|
A volcanic cone.
|
|
A white road and a red road.
|
|
A windmill.
|
|
The outskirts of La Oliva.

The pretty white church of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria with a black bell tower in La Oliva.
|
|
Peter had fun photographing the water fountain.
|
|
The valley of Vallebrón is full of terraces.
|
|
The terraces appeared to have been deserted.
|
|
Typical architecture.
|
|
At the end of the valley there is a fantastic lookout point from a pass towards the west.
|
|
The village of Tindaya.
|
|
From the pass we descended down to the main road.
|
|
Yellow slopes.
|
|
On the way to Los Molinos.
|
|
Colored hills.
|
|
I wanted to see Los Molinos again to shoot it in a more favorable light.

|
The rocky beach at Los Molinos.
|
|
No dogs. Ironically, we saw three dogs - and no humans. :)
|
|
The cliffs and the waves.
|
|
Los Molinos in the late afternoon light.

The bay.

Waves.

Some waves spray over ten meters high when they crash into the rocks.

A house with a view.
|
|
One part of the beach is sandy.
|
|
Low tide.
|
|
Into the sun.
|
|
Again, the place is ideal to sit down and listen to the sea.
|
|
One more look before returning.
|
|
The (only) loval restaurant was closed, but I loved its back entrance.

Just outside La Oliva after sunset.
