After a very sociable
holiday period back in London and nearby, it's off to the beach!
2016 was a year of
beaches: the dunes of Maspalomas and the French Atlantic coast; the
powder soft white sands of Arcachon and Languedoc; the debris strewn
coasts of Oregon and right across the Pacific in New Zealand; the
rain battered strands of west Ireland; the municipal promenades of
Margate and Southwold; the coral lagoon of Rarotonga; and best of
all, that perfect unpopulated crescent of Bang Sak beach, lapped by
the Andaman Sea.
So where better to
start 2017 than Fuerteventura, which is pretty much all beach when it
isn't volcanic wasteland? A good antidote from Christmas excess as
once more we stride along the soft, sandy seashore in a stiff breeze
straight off the Sahara, the ocean waves crashing in, the sea shading
from aquamarine to indigo under a china blue sky and a smiling sun.
Ah, but here's that little beach bar with the rather good Estrella on
draft...
