Friday 20th November and we drove to remote fishing village of Ajuy, on the western coast of the Island. In truth we were hoping to find a beach where we could spend a few hours. Instead we found the natural phenomimena that are the Caves of Ajuy. We parked up in the free parking area outside the village as only residents can drive in the village. So we walked from here, short distance, to the beach through the narrow stree. We were totally amazed by the sight that greeted us. The wild crashing waves onto the black sand and rocks along the beach and the dramatic cliffs that contained the caves. We made our way across the beach to the pathway that takes visitors along the coast to the various viewing points to see the caves and experience the incredible scenery and the force of the Atlantic Ocean. Walking along the top pathway it takes about 15 minutes to the furthest view point. On the way back there is a small lower pathway, only lasts about 5 minutes, here it is possible to look inside the remain of the lime kilns (Hornos). When walking back to the beach, on the top pathway, the only route back, it is possible to look down into the kilns. Initially the pathway is paved and even underfoot, that soon changes and it becomes a rocky cliff path. Would recommend wearing sturdy footwear as this is not really flip flop terrain. When we visited it was exceptionally windy so pointless try to wear a hat or cap unless it was tied on. Not what we were expecting to see but what a bonus.

This place takes your breath away. About half hour walk along the very rugged coastal path, & then you find a set of timber steps leading you a long way down the cliff side. Near the bottom you pass the Monument & then down some more steps & you arrive at a massive cave. Probably 4-5 stories high & 10-15 Metres wide with the sea rushing in to the mouth. Plus it goes back so far, probably 100 Metres or so, then with a bit of a climb you go into another cave next door just as big. Overall an amazing sight. & then, you have to climb back up all those steps, you need to be fit or you may end up having one????????

We had an unplanned visit here on our way to Ajuy. I love goats and really wanted to see them, so we stopped. :) The lady in the shop kindly let us in to the barn to see the animals closer. It was very nice, lot of baby goats around jumping and playing. My intention was fulfilled. But if you want more you can also try cheeses made here. My partner tried and he said the cheeses are delicious. If you vegan, you can try nice fruit desserts and buy jams from Canary Islands.
