In my last post I thought the formatting would not come out right. In the preview it did n't, but on publishing it it has. So I will start the process off.You may be wondering about the beach in the photo at the top of this blog. It is of the beach at El Medano. Which just 5 miles away from our apartment in Golf Del Sur. The beach is the longest natural tan coloured beach on the island. Normally the beaches on Tenerife are of black volcanic sand not golden. The black sand although just as soft looks strange when it sticks to you or makes a mess if you get it on the car seats, though it easily vacs off. Most of the golden beaches in Tenerife are made from imported sand from Africa but not El Medano it is all natural. We often go to this beach because it is off the tourist track as do our upstairs neighbours when they are over. You get a lot of locals or British or German ex-pats going there, I do not think they will thank me for revealing this little secret. The town has quite a few bars and restaurants - we have noticed a few British ones springing up. As you walk down the beach towards the "Red Rock" it gets more windy and this part of the beach is a haven for wind and para surfers.
