I remember my tour of the coast near Valencia when the wind was blowing 🙂
On that November day, the sun was high in the sky, without a single cloud, and the water did have that blue hue you mentioned. There was no gray color, which reminds you of the color of some of the hairs on your head.
The dark blue color of the water and the reflection of the sun made staying on the beach very pleasant that day.
It was so nice that I took off my jacket, spread it on the sand and lay down to enjoy the roar of the waves and the sun's rays warming my face.
But something had to go wrong 🙂
That period was dry, without rain, so the fine, golden sand was not wet.
The strong wind that was blowing spread dry sand on the beach and after a few minutes, I had to get up.
If I had stayed on the sand for half an hour, I would have been completely covered in it. And that little time I was lying on the sand, I barely shook off all the sand that was applied to me from my wardrobe.
I picked up my jacket and moved 30 meters away to a chair at a nearby restaurant, where the wind-blown sand could not interrupt the enjoyment of drinking coffee.
That's the not-so-great side of the sandy beaches. You end up covered with sand hahaha when the wind blows. There are some really huge and beautiful sandy beaches, with natural dunes in the Valencian region, true that not many of them have stayed in that natural form, as humans want to touch everything and convert them into more touristically demanding beaches. This has pebbles, so you would never get covered with sand. You just have to learn to walk on these rocks 😂
Thank you for sharing your experience 😇
