Heart Shaped Stones

Today we drove to to see the Pyramids of Guimar. We admired them from the road, so we didn’t have to pay the €10.50 entrance fee.

On the way out I spotted a pretty graveyard, so we stopped to explore it. There were lots of pretty statues and most of the graves were covered in fresh flowers.

Some of the graves were stacked high in blocks. You could hear a rooster crowing from the hills in the distance.

We then drove to the seaside town of Candelaria. It was so peaceful watching the waves.

The town was very pretty and covered in bunting.

We stopped for ice cream. Tom and I shared the tiramisu and ferrero rocher flavours in a fancy cone.

The really pretty church was all decorated for Saints Day and had been made a minor basilica the previous day. It also had the Black Madonna inside.

The waves were crashing hard over the rocks and Tom got quite wet.

We relaxed outside a bar with sangria and beer while watching the waves. Tom found a heart shaped rock for his parents on the beach – they have a collection.

On the way back to the car we picked up some of the tasty cookies we found last year.

Tom found a squished penny machine, so I got one with the saint on and one with the town on.

We spotted some crabs hiding in the rocks on the beach. They were really colourful.

In the evening I treated to everyone to dinner to say thank you for the holiday.
