Punta Rasca

Today is Monday the last day of July. We planned to go hiking in Montana Amarilla. It was a tourist attraction with high marks reviewed on Tripadvisor. Also it was only 11 min walk (3min drive) from where we stay. Why bother travel far for sightseeing?
It was a hot day, The Montana Amarillo is not typically a high mountain rather than big hill. It was covered with layers of yellow stone. turned it into golden colour viewed from far. There were no clear footpath, so need to be careful in particularly steep part. There were drought resistant plants growing in the mountain such as cactus and plants with very thick skins and tiny thick leaves.
Once climbed on to the top, looking toward North was a pit surounded by a chain of mountains next to Amarillo. Looking towards south, the white houses, rocky beach of Amarillo and the yellow edge of Montana Amarillo formed a beautiful coastline.
As it was a hot day, we fancied a dip into the sea to chill ourself. The waves were big and even difficult to get into sea as it pushed and pulled people out of the ladder helping people get into water. We managed it in the end, the current was as fercious as the waves even the fishes had to move along the current. The waves didn'r stop the fishes come out feeding and playing, we saw so many fishes knack purple fishea close to the shore, biger fishes farer to the shore. I even say a fish a inch long with colour fill tale. A turtle was also caught my eye which was rare in Amarillo.
In the afternoon, we decided to see different snokling spot Palm Mar a spot I? the south West edge of Tenerife, It was famous for aquatic wildlife. The spots rich an array of fishes was a bit far away from the beach, about 300-400 meter I guess. The waves was restless like in Amarilla. I determined to have a go, It took me 20-30 min to swim to the cliff where kayakers were spotting turtles and other fishes. My visibility were affected by my indoor swimming goggles covered with sun creames. So I only saw some fishes but no turtles. I decided to swim back to the beaches as I am the solo swimmer reached such far. It took me another 20min to swim back with shortcut, and landed on the stone beach to avoid current.
It was a good excise and adventurous swim though didn't see much of the sea wildlife.Read more
