Lanzarote getaway

Hey guys! Today is Friday and it means weekend (hopefully for the most of you anyway!), relax, having a nice time with your friends& family, going out or staying in without feeling guilty hehe, and so on ;) I've just came back from Lanzarote after spending time with Edu (when he was free of work), training for the upcoming half-marathon, recovering on the beach and eating super tasty healthy food which I didn't have to cook myself and wash dishes after, lol

We just met at the airport and went straight for lunch (please excuse our silly faces as we're just happy to see each other after 4 days being apart!)); our room balcony and Playa Blanca' promenade on the right side of the image.

Photographed Teide after take off - it's covered in snow which is rare in Tenerife! How beautiful though..
.. and Binter has published my story on their IG !! Wohoo :)

Edu's dropped me off and went working poor thing, while I decided to go for a sunset walk to the lighthouse (Faro de Pechiguera) after a quick nap and coffee

A mural on a harbor wall and a funny van along the walk

This is so Lanzarote. Low built white houses, lotsa palm trees, cactuses and blue sky <3

Asked some strangers to take a pic =)

Sad to see this really.. poor cactus

Perfectly aligned Iberstar hotel right on the promenade, 20-30 m from the ocean

Same hotel different angle

Sun setting down and I still had to go all the way to that tiny stick - the lighthouse!.

Couldn't pass by this cute corner with HUNDREDS of heart locks along the promenade in Playa Blanca <3

(Maybe thousands)

The still far away lighthouse in sunset light :)

A sneak peek at another hotel on the way

This one looked so posh and high-end, until I saw a 'neatly disguised' pile of rubbish from construction (see below), right next to the pool area with cafe, sunbeds etc..

Another reminder how beautiful nature is without our intervening.

Sometimes it confuses with these palm trees looking like giant pineapples ))

El faro de Pechiguera (the lighthouse) is finally getting closerrrrr

The view behind - look at this sunset light!.. So warm and soft, even gentle <3

Everyone's enjoying it))

Happy me with the ocean and Fuerteventura in the background

And I'm finally heeeeere!!!! The promenade has ended, so I turn around to go back to the hotel

Do you also see a shape of heart? ;)

Envy all birds in general and these three seagulls particularly: they can fly and sit anywhere they want, to enjoy the sunset, for example (sorry for the quality - these are all iPhone snaps)

I've passed by Bermuda along the way ;)

Guardia civil (civil guards / Canary police) checking if everything's tranquilo on the promenade :)

These beaches.. ! So pretty and inviting

And I'm back to the hotel. Think I could totally live here for awhile.. =)

When I came back, my legs were SO tired that I wanted to check how much was walked.. Around 14 km ! Decided to consider this as a workout / part of training program before half-marathon. ;)

UPD: this map shows it by car, so re-calculated time for walking by the promenade is ±5,3 km each way, so around 11k in total :)

From the room balcony at Princesa Yaiza when the sun was almost completely gone.

The next day we went to Famara to see our friend Alvaro who creates these beautiful, unique pieces as part of his antiplastic pollution project! You can find him on IG as @ALVARDELMAR and @AlvaroGuzman_foto

Fridge / car door :) magnets
All handmade with love and care. These ones particularly by children <3

Not so eatable tho))))

Even although sometimes they're quite naughty and pesaditos (pain in the ass in Spanish)), now I don't think I can imagine what our lives would be like without them..
