Surfing, a possibility to practice this great sport in your holiday

Friday, August 1st, 2008
The best place for surfing on Gran Canaria I can recommend is Castillo del Romeral, placed on Gran Canaria's east coast. About three kilometers from the center of Castillo del Romeral you just have to follow the path in southern direction to get to this surfers paradise. Surfer You will be suprised! Alltough this place is not that far away from Playa Ingles, it is not that touristy. Near the rocky beach along the surfing spot you can find a nice little lake with lots of birds and little fishes. And if you should become hungry by surfing, take a look at all these tiny seafood restaurant along the coast or just ask one of the locals where you could get something special to eat.

So i took my cam and went outside and saw that the smoke was almost over us. The smell of burnt wood was impossible to go unnoticed: Gran Canaria on fire. Gran Canaria on fire. I couldn't really see much, so i took my car and went to higher grounds, i made it a few kilometers above 'El Salobre', the neighbourhood over 'El Tablero'. Here is what i saw: Gran Canaria on fire.
