Gran Canaria!

We spent the evening before our flight to Gran Canaria in the city of Barcelona with our very good friends Maria and Juan.

They gave us a quick tour of the centre of the city which was all lit up and looked amazing.

We visited the former cathedral...

...and had a splendid meal in a lovely restaurant with them...

...before making our way back to the hotel. A wonderful start to the holiday!

The sunrises were quite stunning and each morning I took a few shots. 

Every sunrise, and sunset, is different!

Lunch each day was a fairly simple affair but we always had a good view to go with it!

It would be nice to say to people who ask what we did on holiday to reply, 'nothing, we had a holiday', but we did venture to the centre of the island on one occasion.

The scenery as always is quite stunning...

...and the almond trees were already in blossom.

A relaxing cup of tea in the Parador at the 'Cruz de Tejeda' at the highest point where it was cold, wet and windy!

Another day we had a walk into town and along the sea front.

An amazing 'sand sculpture' which we saw on the beach when we visited the market at Puerto Mogán.

And so to the shots of the sunsets...

...and the moon.

What a fantastic holiday! Can't wait to go back next January!
