Hi,
We have just returned home after spending a fabulous 10 days in Arillas.
The beach at the north end was getting wider by the day.
When we first arrived there was hardly any sand, just loads of pebbles, but over the next couple of days it suddenly got wider. It was a bit of a strange experience watching the sea deposit the sand and making the beach wider, you could almost measure it by the minute.
Just one word of warning, the first stretch past the high cliffs is still very dodgy and there are large sections of rock that look ready to fall. It is worth paddling a little bit further out to avoid the risk of a rockfall. The wooden steps that were there last year and provided a route from the path down to the liitle bay have been washed away. As has more of the path.
The whole beach seems to have taken a bit of a battering over the winter but it is well on the way back to being the beach we all love.
Those lucky enough to be going over the coming months will, I'm sure, be happy with the state of the beach.
Sunbeds also started to appear on the north beach, and these were always in demand and I was surprised at the large number of people making the effort to get up to the north end. More sunbeds were arriving as we were leaving.
regards
Dave
