Here is what you encounter on a day in January between 4 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon!
The Royal Nautical Club of Gandia (remember the open water swim event?) located at the southern end of Platja del Nord. The city website tells that this club is considered one of the most important clubs in the Valencian District after Valencia. The boat storage capacity of the club is apparently 400 (both wet and dry).
The Pier
Must be a foreigner! Just joking, there were few of these fishermen right behind the sign read "fishing is prohibited in this area!"
Que? Kiero? Not Quiero? Dime en SMS - This way we learn the lingo, too!
The Lighthouse
It is quite interesting: these boulders are man-made and placed around the pier.
Platja del Nord
Gandia Port
Is this a rock formation?
I think I have high-anxiety. I was pretty shaky walking on this strip without any railing.
The cleaning truck tracks on the beach sand. They clean these beaches everyday, summer or winter, rain or shine. The beaches and water are extremely clean - despite the human abuse!
Elderly people stroll on this Maritime Walkway everyday. It is so cute to observe them coiffed and sparked...
I will not tell what they are eating but after two hours of walking, a little bit of junk food is OK.
Pop bottle art - a creative way of recycling them.
Practicing for the opening.
Geraniums - don't we start planting these in Coeur d'Alene around May?
I would say the Gandians are ready for spring!
A tree specimen which we do not know anything about - a question for our friend Miguel.
One of the few remaining small houses on the beach. The Promenade is filled with apartment buildings. More are built as you can see behind this little one (I imagine this one might not be existing very long either).
Entrance to one of the restaurants on our way.
