This is the view from our cabin. I’ve decided to take one image every morning when we dock in a new port.
Being a Sunday and a Catholic country all of the shops were closed. In some ways this was quite nice as it meant that you had to find other things to distract you but I can’t go home without visiting a Spanish Zara.
From the port F and I walked down the Avienda de Jose Antonio Primo de Riveria, the walk was as long as the name, to the mercado/market off Calle de San Sebastian.
F and R went to find the only artificial beach on Tenerife. I took a stroll around the rest of the town. I really wanted to go to Parque Garcia Sanabria but like the shops that was also shut or rather completely closed off by 10 ft high corrugated metal fence.
The area around Plaza del Principe is surrounded by lots of historical buildings including the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes which currently has an exhibition of graffiti. This might explain why there was some nice pieces around the town. There is a program of rebuilding and restoring some of these buildings involving lots of RSJ’s like in this picture.
I’m looking forward to hearing R playing her harp on board. R is a professional Welsh harpist and produces the most amazing sounds from 47 strings!
I don’t know how she manages to keep playing when the boat hits the waves. Shame that the other guests would rather listen to Jim Bowen and his days on Bullseye than to R and her harp.
