We sailed to the island in the early morning, on the way due to fog it looked like a black / white image with a "blind" places. In Famara (the largest beach on Lanzarote and a paradise for surfers) were at dawn: never my imagination do not bother to draw anything like that.
Six-kilometer sandy beach of Famara called up my friend's words that the eye color can vary from bright sun or pictures for which they are looking. How I wish that in my view is preserved glimpse of pale pink and lilac-blue shades and incredible tenderness of this island!
I have never dipped into each new day with such joy, with an open heart wide open. Resident of the city, cluttered fears and psychological blocks, it is difficult to believe that it is absolutely safe, it's a natural and unique here in Famara, possible state.
The phrase "Today is a good day" sounds from the mouth of smiling islanders of all ages and nationalities most welcome - a real mantra of surfers on the island where everyone ... everyone. It is home to the ocean, and comprehend his daily catch to grips with the waves. Listening to the tone of voice of wind and water, studying the bottom topography and the curves of the mountains in a calm and lucid rhythm, you can with a light heart to rely on the Spanish mañana (let's do it tomorrow), knowing that a new day will be as good or even better.
And all this against the backdrop of a truly incredible, fantastic lunar landscape, which is simply impossible to get used to. The main impression of Lanzarote is another planet. Friendly and welcoming, but absolutely different.
In the air, the island poured incredible softness. It is possible to feel physically connecting the tips of his fingers. It envelops the body and the mountains, making them afar like plush and warm sand dunes under her spell turns into a free-flowing silk.
During the day, the weather can change suddenly, wings windmills that zakruzhatsya at high speed, then zastynut, the clouds suddenly formed and hung low over the island, and a minute later evaporate, as if they had never existed. Typical white houses cleverly and carefully placed on the surface of Lanzarote vulkanistoy under the strict supervision of the architect Cesar Manrique, a dip in the shade, the sun will shine again. All these changes occur faster than a hare or a hedgehog time to flicker and disappear with a few bushes on the rocky soil of the island.
Lanzarote accompanies any mood: can give a walk in a multinational company, a delicious dinner and wine, live music in the bar or hot dancing - if there is a desire to communicate. But it is quite unique - drowning in the fog on the observation platform of Mount El Risco and contemplate the waves, tide, exposing the gums rocky part of the beach and the incredible illumination colors of the sunrise.
Or lying on the sand on the beach at night, like a giant bird in the nest, to solve the constellations on the black sky. And right over his head to find Cassiopeia ...
Smiles at you, Famara, his whole being and wish to remain so, what do you remember me at our first meeting. After all, my wishes, thought a hole volcanic stone from the beach, which serves me now as an accessory in the bathroom, a little bit true.
During this valuable acquaintance thank the wonderful guys from SanarySurf. For ease of communication and a warm smile, which I have always met in-house surf school ZooPark, when I came back from surfing lessons or rides.
