IFE, Lanzarote, spainArrecife – Spanish for reef – referencing the volcanic rock formations in the coastal water.  Part of the Canary Islands.  This one called Lanzarote.

Our last stop in Spain.  We’re west of Southern Morocco  on an island in the Atlantic Ocean and no where near mainland Spain.

The cruise write up about Arrecife – “The sights are scare yet interesting…. Its most notable quality is that it’s a working town that earns its living from something other than tourism”.  Sounds perfect!

The walk to town took us through a large marina full of sail boats and over lava rock bridges .  The tide low and little pongas tipped to their side waiting for the water to lift them up.

The volcanic rock is visible all around the shoreline – from the dark formations in the water to the bridges, steps and landscaping.

Most buildings suffer from benign neglect but the ones which received a coat of paint sure stood out.  The white walls and colorful doors pop. It’s a little part Greece, Mexico, the Caribbean and Spain!  Laid back and chill.
