La Gomera - Day 9

We decided to go on a walk by the coast today. First we drove to the village of Alojera, which entailed first going all the way to the top of the island then back down again. We parked near a small bar then set off down a track through the village.

Eventually leaving the houses behind we continued down to a secluded rocky beach. It had some kind of oven there, and lots of rock shelters.

From there we walked up and over a ridge to the main village beach, which has a small sea water swimming pool. We had our lunch there.

Then there was a steep zig zag path up to the main part of the village, it was getting very hot by then.

We drove back to Valle Gran Rey, and had a bit of a sunbathe and paddle at our local beach.

Later we went out again to catch the sunset. The island on the horizon is El Hierro.

Dinner was pasta with vegetables.
