Lunch swimmig
January 14 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
There are high waves here at the moment, some beaches in the Canary Islands are closed. 🌊🌊🌊

So swimming is difficult in Alojera, because there is no sandy beach here, but a pebble beach and the pebbles have a very unfortunate big size.

Luckily we have a small natural swimming pool on the beach next to the pier, which is flooded at high tide.

Great! I ❤️ it!Read more

My sunset balcony
January 16 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
2,5 hours more daylight, not to mention sunlight…

At the moment I can't get enough of my balcony. For the last 3 days I've been sitting in pole position with a view of the cliffs and the sea, working all day. My colleagues only ask me things like: Really, again? And I turn my back to the sun so I don't get sunburnt. Of course, the sunset at the end of the day is a must.

From tomorrow I have 4 days off, then I'll say goodbye to my balcony every now and then and cruise around the island 🏝️.Read more

Mi valle
January 17 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
I live in Alojera at the moment. It is a small town of 430 inhabitants belonging to the municipality of Vallehermoso. It covers the Valle Barranco del Mono and its tributaries, at the head of which is the step of the central plateau of the island with a large difference in level between Lomo del Carretón and La Asomada.

I love this valley and although it looks northern on the map, if you look closely at the satellite map, you can see the difference in vegetation compared to the northern valleys like vallehermoso.

So due to its special geographical location, Valle Barranco del Mono is a valley in the north with comparatively many hours of sunshine per year.

This is why I picked it, wonderful warm, much sun and not many tourist, they are all sitting in Valle Gran Rey 😉.Read more

Restaurante Prisma
January 18 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
There is not much infrastructure to see down in Alojera beach.

A few houses where you can also rent rooms, the pier, the saltwater pool and the Prisma restaurant.

It is located in a narrow alley, because everything is narrow here. A few tables are set up in the alley and the view opens up to the sea.

On the corner of the pier, the men from the village have their own little personal table and enjoy themselves there with tinto de verrano, cerveza or cortado.

The boats are pulled up on the stairs and time drags like chewing gum into the sunny day.

The quality is very good and the prices are reasonable. It is open from 12:30 to 16:30 and 18:00 to 21:00 except on Wednesdays.

Definitely a gem! ❤️Read more

Playa del Inglés
January 19 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Since the 1970s, Playa del Inglés in Valle Gran Rey has been a legend for the hippie and alternative movement.

Unlike other nudist and unspoiled beaches, this one is close to apartments, restaurants, entertainment venues and other services. There is even a sports centre. So you will find caravans on the parking lot, a smell of urine on you way to the ocean and a bunch of naked old hippies. 🤣

Located at the southwestern end of the Valle Gran Rey, this beach normally has the virtue of offering a generally calm ocean. This time of course it was different, and so you had to be careful of the waves, but its still calm waters compared to other wild coves.

The guarantee of sunshine, its large size at low tide, the liberal atmosphere of this beach in the south and the good infrastructure attracts quite some people, so if you are looking for loneliness, this should be NOT your choice 😂.Read more

Taguluche
January 20 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Today we drove to Taguluche, an idyllically situated village in the Barranco of the same name. It nestles against the ridge of La Merica.

The fertile valley, which is located south of Alojera, is separated from the higher villages by an idyllic winding road.

The place used to be one of the most important agricultural regions on La Gomera. Tomato cultivation in particular was particularly productive here. Not only was the island itself supplied with tomatoes, there were also enough left for export, which were shipped directly from Taguluche.

Over time, tomato cultivation lost importance because it was no longer possible to keep up with the big competitors from outside.

As a result, many locals moved to other regions. The remaining residents now enjoy the peace and quiet and farm privately.

The beach at Taguluche can be reached via a 20-minute descent on a small hiking trail.

Swimming is expressly not recommended here, as dangerous undercurrents and jagged rocks in the water can put swimmers in great danger.

Next to the small, very pretty church in the village there is a beautiful picnic area with a great view and a grill, oven, stone washbasin, large tables and public toilet.

There is also a restaurant, quite large for the small place, with a terrace and a magnificent view of the sea, which serves local dishes but was unfortunately closed today.Read more

Roque de Agando
January 21 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
Roque de Agando is a prominent rock formation on the island of La Gomera. It is one of La Gomera's most striking features and is frequently used as a symbol for the island.

Roque Agando is the most prominent of a group of volcanic plugs called simply Los Roques, near the centre of the island. The others are named Roque Ojila and Roque Zarcita, and sometimes Roque Carmona and Roque Las Lajas are also included. It rises directly above the main road between the island's capital San Sebastián and Garajonay National Park in the centre, which makes it a popular tourist sight.

The summit is not accessible by foot. During the 20th century, some easy rock-climbing routes were established on the peak, but climbing is now banned there, and hiking is restricted to established paths in its vicinity, as it forms part of a protected area.Read more

Fresh water spring
January 22 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
As always, I went looking for a source of fresh water and found a spring. Not only one, I found two... Located in a wonderful spot with an awesome view.

Now I'm curious to see what quality the water is and how the tea tastes with it.

I'll report back.Read more
