The beach is one of the places that relaxes me the most, and not just walking on the sand but the sun and the sound of the sea.
On my walk to it, along the promenade I enjoyed the beautiful views.
And I also found a sculpture that welcomed me. Art is present everywhere.
At various facilities on the beach, such as the toilets, they often paint beautiful murals with beach themes and make the scenery more attractive.
At least this child is not going to drown.
And this one is well secured in the water, he can play in peace.
That sound, that noise of the water hitting the sand is one of the sounds that calms my mind and inspires me the most.
I tend to simply watch as the water comes towards me, as it wets my feet and the white foam caresses me.
I always find the views amazing, there in the distance is the harbour of the city, but from this place there is peace and the smell of the sea.
If I look in the opposite direction, I see the rest of the beaches and the outline of the city.
The foam with its patterns on the sand, like a white mantle with transparencies.
And if I look up, a blue sky with glimpses of clouds. A range of beautiful blues. The wonder of nature.
I took the opportunity to gather some stones that I liked, there is a lot of variety, of many colours that caught my attention and I will surely think of making art with them. Nature and art, for me they always go together.
I look at the footprints in the sand left by other walkers like me who enjoy the shore and the freshness of that wonderful water.
The sand massages your feet as you walk and it's wonderful.
A walk in the sun, together with the sea, brings many benefits. Walking barefoot revitalises and relieves stress. The sun source of vitamin D helps the body and the healthy sea water renews the skin and makes it more beautiful.
There are already tourists in the city, but not too many, so even the most central beaches are not too crowded and you can enjoy a beautiful walk.
The palm trees are always with me, providing shade and a place to drink mate or have a picnic.
Quite a lot of sand, which by the way was too hot to walk on, except at the edge of the beach where the water was cool.
A children's playground on the beach, at that moment without them, but waiting for them when classes end and the afternoons fill the beach with laughter, games and joy.
I observed very varied and beautiful games, each new angle gave a different and even artistic view of them. Although the children were not there, I think they were depressed. I told them that joy would soon come to them.
San Andres is the name of this beach, it is just at the end of the port of the city, on the west side. It is very family-oriented, rather than touristy, although some people do go there.
The harbour has been under renovation for a long time and behind the name of the beach there were some mountains of sand that gave it a desert-like style.
Also the name of the beach is new, before those big rocks with the letters were not there, so I see that the works are progressing.
As I walk towards the exit of the place I find more art to say goodbye to this beautiful relaxing walk.
When I get closer I notice that it is a boy playing the guitar and that place is a module that belongs to the lifeguards. They seem to have everything there.
It's a quiet beach, with nice views and art, lots of art. In general they make an effort to have sculptures and paintings all over the city. On the beaches there is more conservation because of the air and water.
A walk with lots of sun, water, paintings and rocks, lots of rocks, plus the sound of the sea which always inspires me.
Thank you very much for joining me on this Wednesday walk. See you next time.
