I do some walks along the beach. The first one gets me southbound towards the next village

The beach

Volcano behind the village

Empty beach

Another island (Fuerteventura)

In the evening a nice clear sky with a moon and Jupiter is visible

We have booked the big island tour. We will see some volcanos, grape farms, nice coasts, volcano caves and other things.

Getting into the volcano area

Demonstration of effects of the volcano heat dry wood starts burning

Water filled into pipes starts boiling creating kind of a geysir

Hot air coming out of a volcano chimney is being used for a barbecue

We pass a crater

Lava caves at the coast line

Nice coastal cliffs

My parents enjoy the view

A green lake close to the shore (colored by algaes)

Grape farming. The famers digg holes into the lava ash and build a stone wall to protect the plant against the wind

A lava cave

A pool build as a piece of art next to the cave

Another walk on the beach. This time north bound. I get to the airport after a while and watch the scene with some plane spotters there.

Volcano behind a village

Fuerteventura in the distance

Runway navigation lights are extended into the water

A plane approaches

The helicopter we were in some days ago takes off

Another plane is landing

A big boat passes by

More planes approaching

The helicopter has returned

Flying home during the afternoon provides another opportunity to take some pictures.

Goodbye to the island

A city in Spain

Some snow covered mountains in Spain remind me of the time in the year
