Slept very late (hey, we’re still on holiday!) Finally up and out for a stroll along the promenade, with a stop in the market for a coffee and orange juice. Then all the way up to Peninsula de la Magdalena. We stopped for a drink at a little cafe near the entrance, then walked up to the Palacio and around the headland where there are wonderful views, then back down. There is an old zoo\/animal enclosures, now just a few seals, sealions and penguins and sort of sad. What was nice was the pieces of art, sculptures, along the walk. In the park were bits carved from trees that had come down, so little chairs, mushrooms, birds, were carved out of the stump. We then left the peninsula and along the upper road over looking the bay beaches back to the hotel. Another 4 or 5 hours of walking in the sunshine!<\/p>\n
We mainly just walked slowly and watched the people. Lots of tourists – this is a major holiday spot for the Spanish and this is the first weekend of summer break, so filling up. Lots of families and the beaches were pretty busy, though I can image they get even more packed. We watched games on the beach, divers coming in, people out sailing (I want a boat!), and people fishing. Just a really nice spot to relax.<\/p>\n
Rest in the room before heading out for dinner later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
