The Playa Walk at El Faro...17.11.2021
Wednesday, 17.11.2021. Location: El Faro, Torrox Costa, Andalusia
The day started today with a beautiful sunrise and although it was windy it did not prevent the people to go to the promenade and enjoy the beach view this afternoon. Cafes lined along the seafront frequented by tourists in Summer were opened, some were closed and despite the pandemic, most people did not have mask. Well, masks were obligatory in some restaurants in Spain, but there had been no inspections at the entrance door.
I called up my German girlfriend today and invited her for a cup of coffee this afternoon in the Playa. I was early by half an hour because I wanted to take photos of the area. The beach is almost empty, some locals made their way threading the sand and simply took a walk with their dogs. Dogs are part of the beach visit and some made the promenade as their meeting point.
Not far from the Lighthouse had been excavations that led to the discovery of an ancient settlement which according to the structure had been a fishermen´s village.
The town hall decided to make a platform, the flooring of which was made of glass, so the visitors can see the ancient structures complete with fish market down below.
As the cold weather is already sweeping Central Europe as well as the Scandinavian countries, some more winter tourists will surely be on their way here. People we know from Germany will soon come over as the number of covid-infections are on the rise again according to statistics, so there might be a lockdown in the coming days. Well, good that we were able to get out of Vienna before the number cases increased.
I wanted to say many thanks to @tattoodjay for initiating the #WednesdayWalk Challenge in collaboration with @elizacheng´s Make Me Smile initiative. I always look forward to this day when I can post the places where I had been to for my walk.

This make me smile, too. Super clean place.Long stretch beach. Ka ganda gyud mag walking walking. Sus,kung dinhi pa sa Pinas puno na yan sa mga cottages and buildings.Ambot ba wala man gyud planning dire sa atoa.
Yes Jude, long stretch jud ang beach kay 9 kilometers na, suerte ni nga village kay mas taas sa tanang village ang ilang waterfront.
What a beautiful area on a beautiful day
I love the way they have setup that platform with the glass panels so you can see them where they were found
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
Yeah, the platform is cool, the only thing is they do not clean the glass underneath more often so that the glass becomes blurry and one can not see what is below. Today there were just a few cleaned ones. It´s the sand and dust that are carried by the wind that stuck at each piece.
Ohh that’s a pity
What a nice and peaceful place @mers , your photos are so nice, too 😍
Thank you so much for appreciating my post. Have a lovely day!
You are very fortunate to be able to walk in such a lovely warm place. It looks like paradise.
Yes dear, thank you. At least winter here is mild.. In Vienna, at this time, it is gloomy. Gray in gray and always overcast.. The Med Sea though is not for swimming because water is cold, at least a dose of sunshine would be amazing for the psyche, lol! Have a lovely Thursday.

What a beautiful walk, @mers! Such a wonderful way to spend your day. I love the curvature of the beach and I can only imagine my toes in the sand.
Thank you for taking us with you! I am so glad you got out of Vienna! All the numbers are going up!
Yep, we got out on the right time and about two weeks ago we heard that the statistics are exploding, Here in Spain, it is relax somehow, people go our in public places not wearing mask and restaurants do not care about inspecting whether you got two jabs of the vaccine. The bars and cafes here suffered a lot, everything was under lockdown. So they are now relaxed with the inspection of covid papers...
You are welcome Denise dear.. Take good care!
Nice place to take a walk. Enjoy the breeze!
It was mild yesterday and I went down to the coast, today had been the opposite, very gusty winds that includes sand and probably coming from the Sahara, (Lol!)
