Playa de los Lances stretches some 7kms west from the town of Tarifa. Although it is in reality one beach, the diversity of setting as you move along the coast makes  it feel more like a collection of smaller beaches each with their own individual charm and charisma.

Depending on some combination of unpredictable events a lagoon stretching the length of playa de los Lances can appear overnight and stay for weeks creating a perfect flat water kite surfing playground!

Slightly further along the coast is the beautiful beach of Valdevaqueros. The spot although slightly more gusty than los Lnaces, works for both prevailing winds; the Poniente and the Levante.

Well it’s official I have left the UK!

The shores of Santander, a welcome sight after 26 hours at sea. Next up Zaragoza for an evening with my tia then Valencia to see my Primo.

The view from my cousins apartment.

After a few days at my cousins place in Valencia it was time to hit the road again. Valencia to South of Spain.

Last sight of Valencia, what a beautiful day for an 8 hour drive!

Getting closer to the south coast, finally Sierra Nevada on the horizon!

Finally hit the south coast after 8 hours driving from Valencia, feeling pretty spaced out! Nearly at the the final destination and then it will be time to start getting used to beach life!
