Hi @erh.germany, what a nice surprise!
Thanks for these awesome shots. I think they capture Fuerte's spirit very well.
I started travelling to Fuerte in the early 90s and as far as I perceive it, the landscapes and the beaches have not been impaired by the tourism since then. I can't judge though how the impact on less visible aspects like groundwater, sea pollution, endemic fauna and flora has been.
The minimalism, as you describe it, is indeed what makes this Island so special. But only to those who are able to respond to it. Because only then one is able to see the incredible diversity within this scarcity. All these colours, textures, niche plants, rock sculptures and so on...
And true, I also wouldn't mind if the wind would pause from time to time. It just doesn't ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers!
"to see the incredible diversity within this scarcity" - yes, that is the beauty. Couldn't have said it better.
I hope, their politics haven't changed since the early 90s and they still restrict to build infrastructure and housing like crazy. At least on Lanzarote, there was a law not to build more than two or three story buildings (can't remember the exact number).
Oh, and look who was visiting me in time and space:
The fledgling of the flying lizard from your Alpine hike. And I haven't spotted it! Damn!
