Hi allšš
(Photo from a walk in June on the same path)
With this post in your community Iām joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge These Challenges are hosted by 
Today I want to share with you our Walk along the seafront from last Sunday 26 December 2021. We had rain for the last week and just got out between showers for a nice long walk.
What is so special about this walk. Let me tell you:
The MƔlaga county Council is building in the last few years and months/ years to come a boardwalk/ walking route along the coast for cyclist and walkers that is named: Senda Litoral de MƔlaga.(Malaga coastal path)
Located in the south of Spain along the coast.
It goes along 14 coastal municipalities, and is meant to connect Manilva and Nerja by means of a long path, around 200 km long!!! that goes along the entire coast. š„° This is major for the residents and tourists alike. As there are not really safe walking and cycling paths around here.
About 80% of the coastal path has already been opened to the public. You can already follow long stretches of it. The Coastal Path will be an important touristic landmark, because it will actually be possible to go from Nerja to Manilva along the coast, and this brings many opportunities for local entrepreneurs, hotels and restaurants sector, as well as for sports and active tourism industry.
They hope that this 5 year long project will finish soon.
If you want to read more about it and see a map of how much is already finished you can find all the info in this website: Official website from Senda Litoral
Let me take you now along our walk over the boardwalk, paths and sandy stretchesā¦ š
Looking the other way
As we walk further I found this tree standing all alone, braving the harsh weather.
And this one a little bit further on the left side, not sure what the purpose of it is/ will be.
And as we walk further, the path becomes sandy.
The succulents on the left are doing fine and some are even still flowering.
Through the trees we see some nice shadows and light patches appearing on the mountain in the distance.
Letās have a closer look.
By now it started raining again a littleā¦
Along the path we find:
For sunny days āļøāļøāļø
Details and texturesā¦
In the middle of the horizon, if you look very closely, you can see The Rock of Gibraltar
The weather keeps changing today and the cloud formations are rather beautiful. You can see we are walking back again by now.
Then we find a brave soulā¦ as it looks like something I havenāt seen before. The bit he has on the left side. Some kind of sailā¦ letās see. The board on the right is an hydrofoil surfboard. Ooo that could be very interestingā¦ šš
He is going in.
Sorry my next photos wonāt be so clear as itās only my phoneā¦ and he is drifting quite far away. But I will share some further.
As we can see he is trying to get ahold of the āsailā and drifts further away.
This goes on and onā¦ but he never gets himself lifted out of the water with the hydrofoil surfboard.
My photos become more and more blurrier.
I give up and tell you what happened next.
I watched for a while longer but he didnāt succeed. The wind was strong and probably wrong or the device didnāt work properly to get him out of the water. Would have been cool š to see.
But I walk further now.
A little further, we see a golden retriever in the water playing with a stick. Enjoying itself.
The clouds are getting darkerā¦ one more look over at the brave soul. Looks like he is still trying. And drifting further away. Would he have made it?
Hhhmmm canāt answer that question. Letās hope he did šš
Our last viewā¦ before we leave the path and return to the car to drive home.
The sun in the distance came through to give us this view. To say bye bye, till next time āļøš
I hope you enjoyed coming along on my third post of Wednesday Walk: along the seafront in Spain.
