This was our last day with the car and we'd been everywhere we had planned to go so we decided to have a look at Playa Quemada which was a beach we had never seen before and which was quite close but, apart from a nice view, there wasn't a lot there and the beach was mainly stony.
The wind today was unbelievably strong, probably the windiest we've ever known in all our years of visiting this island. It has been almost like a minor hurricane without the rain. The wind was whistling and we half expected Heathcliffe to appear 🤣.
We then thought we'd have a look at Deiland, the shopping centre at Playa Honda
which we used to visit several years ago. Before that we went to Playa Honda
itself with its lovely prom and views of the planes taking off and landing at
Arrecife. It was still extremely windy and there was a bit of a sand storm so
we didn't linger too long. It was also a
beach without any bars or restaurants, so lovely as a beach but it’s clearly not
a tourist attraction.
Deiland had certainly had an upgrade since we were last here and we spent half
an hour or so looking around.
We then went back to Puerto Calero for a final visit. We firstly had a milk
shake at Cafe de la Playa, a cafe run by a couple of ladies from the UK and
then we went to our favourite place, El Tomate, for tapas and a beer.
Dinner was late as we were so full after lunch. We couldn't manage much, but
did make sure we left enough room for profiteroles dipped in the chocolate
fountain.
