Lanzarote One

The photo below is of the harbour at Puerto Carmen, Lanzarote. We went here in late November for a couple of weeks of sun, sea and beer.


Here I am at Puerto Calero filling in a geocache. There some very expensive boats in the harbour.



In the south west of the island there are these salt pans. The pans are designed to trap the seawater in huge mud reservoirs or cocederos where it then collects before being channelled through rough stone trenches to smaller rock-lined ponds, tajos, where the salt crystallizes at 25°C.



Another geocache, but with a difference. I think this is the first we have done in a volcanic crater. Fortunately the way into the crater was not too difficult, over the top would have been impossible for us.



Another volcanic crater which has been partly washed away by the sea. This is El Golfo which is a major tourist attraction.
