the lonely sailor in the hot desert 😂 
the trail to the dunes, in the background the maountains 
desert feeling and finding almost an oasis 
…trying to get some nice shots

dune vegetation 
the sailor finding his way through the wildness 
and 
taking

impressions

the long beach with 
a few people; the beach was open for the first time that day 
lots of bars and restaurants, all still closed

different views 
Maspalomas beach side, hotels, 
shops etc were all still closed and the streets completely empty 
my favourite tree at the moment , a Mimosa tree? 
anyhow, it just is 
sooooo 
beautiful!

everywhere
un mirador in the area of San Bartomolé de Tirajana 
with spectacular views 
especially at night times 
a kiss with a view 
on our way to find 
the holy rock of the Guanches, 
the last decisive battle between the indigenous people and the Spanish conquerors took place here 
some structures considered to be forticications 
one of the caves, it’s a bit hard to actually see it 
here some more caves 
we were definitely the only visitors far and wide 
a part of the holy rock 
stretching my back not being used to sit in a car for hours 
a nice way to pimp up an ugly dumpster
a quick stop in Santa Lucía de Tirajana 
to see more caves and 
important hills 
and a goat farm on the other side
Some attempts to capture the beauty of that Barranco
heading to the end of the valley, to Montagna de las Tierras 
the view vice versa 
a circuit around the cave houses/restaurant 
with amazing views 
and cosy houses 
and tiny terraces 
and a cute cat 
and an abandoned house/cave 
… 
the entrance of the restaurant – it’s definitely not the best pic but🤷♀️ 
the view from the restaurant 
the path 
souvenirs high up 
i liked this entrance 
me always enjoying the flowers 
scary movie, el capitano disappearing in the light 
if somebody is interested to have a nice accommodation… 
a bird which was crossing the street in front of us saying hello
leaving the gulch 
and heading back home 
with a 
stop at IKEA
orders where to enter the beach – strange times
Altimate getting out of the water and being refreshed
this little shell got us stressed because it stuck the sword 
openings 
from the inside 
and outside 
and with the new trough hulls 
the new antifouling 
and the last bits to paint 
almost done
The trip with Mary and Eamon,
close to the restautant 
at Costa 
Sardina del Norte 
and our last stop Puerta de las Nieves 
with the little church

after 
a nice dinner, because cooking on the boat was difficult being on the hard
