On the west coast

Another day we decided to travel across the island from the east coast to the west one. I didn't take us long, even though the bus had to visit a couple of small towns on the way, like La Oliva and Lajares.
We tried to reach the lighthouse, but it turned out to be far away from the beach outside the town called El Cotillo, where we arrived. So we decided to walk a bit south, and visit the old tower El Castillo, which was a point of defendence for this Spanish territory from English and French pirates.
After spending quite a while looking for a bakery we read about in th guide, we gave up and had some Spanish ice cream, which were extremely fruity and refreshing in the 30 degrees and full sunshine weather.
The combination of bright blue sky, white sand and blue ocean, which we saw there, is in my opinion the most beautiful and the most calming set of colours I have seen so far...
