From Barlovento to Los Llanos

We set out to visit La Fajana, some natural seawater pools recommended by Lonely Planet, but not very natural looking on the maps. We were in for a treat! In fact the pools once were natural, but have been 'enhanced' for convenience. The are in the north east corner of the island with lots of waves.

At La Fanaja, we spent a considerable time watching and photographing the waves breaking on the pools and rocks

After a stop for elevensies, we carried on round the top of the island and down the west coast to our next inland stop, Los Llanos, driving along some interesting and windy roads. John had chosen the scenic route! This is a two way road, but with one way tunnels, lots of them.

Other views from our scenic route. We went through many hairpins and were above the cloud for some of the way.

Suddenly, we came across a large obstruction blocking the road. They were being herded along, but had ideas of their own.

As we travelled to Los Llanos, we moved more inland and were seeing terraced vineyards.

Along the road, the hairpins down to Los Llanos, bananas and the largest poinsettia Inhave seen.

After checking in to our smal bungalow, we walked down to the town to find some food. The night view from our terrace
