El Medano






The WiFi in the villa has not been working. David, the owner, had explained that the house was being transfered on to a new system, but they went out before we could mention the fault.

Today we drove down to the nearest bit of sea at Medano. We can see it from our villa. It is a resort but not as developed as Los Christianos and Playa de las Americas.

We walked along an alley past restaurants, mainly offering seafood dishes. Then we came to a beach with black sand and out on the water there were plenty of windsurfers and people on surf boards with parachutes. The breeze was strong and lifted some of them in to the air.

We walked to Montana Roja, a volcanic cone at the end of the resort and climbed up it. From the summit we had a fine view of the runway at Tenerife South Airport which was constantly busy. We could also see large swaithes of netted area which they grow something beneath.

On the way back we called in for more provisons and ate a dinner of goat's cheese and quince jelly tart with salad and fried potato.

David came roound to look at the WiFi router but couldn't fix it immediately.

Played cards on the terrace once it was dark.
