We left Madeira in the first proper sunshine we had had since arriving so were able to see the spectacular coast and nearby islands.

But that didn’t last and we had a very rolly couple of days to Lanzarotte. |

Nothing too terrible though and fun nonetheless. We decided to have a couple of days at anchor on the island of La Graciosa at the northern end of Lanzarotte before heading into the marina. Ashore it was mostly beach |

But we could see a village in the distance and went to have a look. And an ice cream, and a beer.

It was a film set for Beau Geste. Sand everywhere. Not a bit of tarmac. But, surprisingly large harbour and well cared for harbour area with pleasant restaurants and cafe’s and several aging hippies doing macramé.
