Our seafront




A five minute walk and we have reached the sea. The entrance to our beach is behind us and we are walking down towards the other, free beach and the promenade.




The free beach is very busy




the sunset is gorgeous




and the sea is relatively calm




We walk along the promenade




some people prefer to swim by the rocks rather than the beach. 




What an enormous dog




The sun is almost down, and some people are still in the sea - it's magical at this time




The enormous screen of Alimos Cinema has been erected







It's inflatable - all you see during the day is a bit of a groundsheet 




This bit of green is used by people to exercise their dogs - no one about at this moment




the sun's almost completely gone - I used to love swimming at this time, have not done it for a while







We turn right here




and go to Agioneri for our evening meal. It's still early and it's almost empty. We've been here before, but the owner keeps leasing the place out to different people so that almost every year it's a different restaurant. It's our first time at Agioneri - it's ok but nothing special, and a bit pricey for what you get.




This is our view.





We leave the restaurant




stop to watch these kids in the playing area




The film is on




back on the sea front







There's always a few people who settle on the benches to watch the film for free. I don't understand it - this is a cinema run by the council, it's heavily subsidised and costs a fraction of what private cinemas cost, but I guess there's always pleasure in getting something for free.




It's not just people who watch the film




Penarubia, the cafeteria is all lit up




and busy




Lights reflecting on the free beach




Lots of people all dressed up going into Bolivar, our beach's nightclub




We get to the crossing to cross the busy sea road, and then home.




A few days later, we're back, this time to Penarrubia for our pre-dinner drinks. This is the cafeteria all lit-up as we leave.




I love the glow, and the silhouettes against it.




The sculpture is all lit up.





So glad to have this on our doorstep.
