Playa de La Aldea

On our free day which was sunny, hot and windy in the afternoon,, I walked 5km down the barranco, partly through the market-gardening of tomatoes and bananas covered with plastic sheets, to Playa de La Aldea, a small fishing village.with a shingly beach and a wetland protected from the rough sea by a harbour wall. and breakwater.
On the way, I walked across Latitude 28 North which Columbus had followed from the Canaries to the West Indies.
I had gambas (shrimps) in garlic followed by a Uruguayian creamy dessert for lunch at a cafe near the seafront, followed by a coffee in the afternoon in a small park where I read a book.
The public bus back to La Aldea hadn't arrived by the due time but, fortunately, a German couple stopped and gave me a lift back to town.Weiterlesen
