Playa de Cofete

On the last full day of my stay in Fuerteventura, I hired a mountain bike, to approach the somewhat isolated beach of Cofete. The uphills were trying but I really enjoyed the downhill bits, though had to be careful as there are no railings along the ‘road’ (mostly dirt tracks) and I’m not a particularly experienced mountain biker. First as I got there, I was slightly disappointed as the mountain ridges in the distance were hidden by mist but then this prevented me from taking the same photographs many have taken before me. I’ve tried to capture this place in the best light possible as in itself it is truly magical, however it really saddened me to see all sorts of small plastic washed ashore all over the beach (I have not included those photos here).
