Morro Jable to Faro punta de Jandia – 27th February 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last day and it is a beaut. That constant up and down into dry river valleys, a climb at the start and a long drag to the final. Still, must make the most of it. It is a forty five minute trek down a bumpy gravel road for Esme to get to me. Christ knows how the bus does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving Morro Jable, a busy mostly German town.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The fast ferry from Gran Canaria. Fred Olsen – a Norwegian.
Looks like it will be its last sailing crashing into the coast like that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Curving towards the shoulder of this last mountain then down to the coast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can just see a hint of Gran Canaria off the coast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Much better on this one. Loads of mountain climbing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You know the way that goats will eat anything. Plastic construction strips. She’s probably brought that whole building down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I can see the lighthouse out on that distant point. Seems a bit far to me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Water cisterns are long dry but loving the art work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Better view of the finish. Gods! this path is neverending.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That’s it done. The last mountain, though only its lower shoulder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
To the sea at last.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I do like it when the rocks are laid out like this and you can see back millions of years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just sitting on a handy white bollard watching the ferry go by.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can see a couple in this one and the finish is much clearer as is Gran Canaria.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
An empty beach!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Private dining, barbeque style.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Was able to walk across that beach for a bit of a break. Most welcome to the sore feet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It is the old near but far sitch. Feet very sore.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I might just have time for a sit down in a cafe, if there is one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Faro and it looks like there are some seats.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The view back to Morro Jable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Fuerteventura done face. A bit smug if you ask me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Joined by the very fractitous Duckie after being stuck inthe car for hours.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Though today was long, hot and very hard near the finish, it was a lovely walk. Gentle for the most part but for the interminable ups and downs of the dry valleys running down from the mountains. Would have loved a cafe in the middle but can’t always have what I want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
