Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sounds like a plan, Ralph.
That's probably what people do every single day on the Isle of La Graciosa.
In their lives heaven must be overrated.
THE Beach 🌴
We all know these beaches from the movies.
Endless white sand banks, turquoise colored shores, crystal clear water and ... a lot of people.
At the beach called "Playa de Las Conchas" on the Isle of La Graciosa (Canary Islands) there is nobody.
Isn't that insane?
Even though humans have practically discovered the whole planet, it seems that there are still some hidden treasures, some pure pearls, a few of these completely natural and untouched spots.
The most amazing point is that this secret spot is only 3 hours away from my house. I left home at 8am in the morning and arrived at the beach at 11am.
Could I ask for more? 😍

Again the amazing singer and songwriter Drew Machak (
Thank you, Drew! Relaxing at this incredible beach listening to your music was like being in heaven.
I hope you enjoyed these unreal moments.
Talking about reality: When I came back home from my today's trip my whole hood was without electricity. No kidding!
It really seems to be a serious issue, because in five hours the provider still hasn't solved the problem. Lucky me we've got a backup electric generator at home.
That's the reason why I was able to edit my footage and write this article.
NOTHING can prevent me from being on steemit, HAHA 😄
The moral of that story: Everything in life comes with a price tag, even the "island life": we have amazing beaches but a weak infrastructure 😉
Who to follow today? 
, the fellow steemian who designed this beautiful animated beach party, full of summery vibes. Cause we can't ever have enough beach in our lives. Do we? 🐟
Have a great weekend, folks!

The journey is the reward? Climbing up the hill I just don't feel it, haha! 😅
Arriving at the top, being rewarded with some stunning views.
STOKED.
