Wednesday

 Brighter by the sea but still very low cloud inland so we're walking along the coast in the opposite direction to Sunday's walk - west towards Icod. Started the walk with a good drenching when the sea wall we were walking along got breached by a tsunami. Good job we're Cumbrians and used to a bit of damp. Speeding up the walking pace soon dried us out.
The Rambla del Castro path winds along the coast past several dramatic black sand beaches,
 





 




past the ruined Fortin de San Fernando



to the old estate lands of del Castro. Returning to Puerto in late afternoon the cloud cleared for twenty minutes and we got our first glimpse of Mt Teide in the distance
