On the way to Haría, we came past the Roferos, sculptures formed by the wind, standing around in the landscape. It was cold, windy, and grey, so we had a brief look around before we went on.
When we reached Haría, we navigated through narrow roads to a parking, where we spent the night. The next day, a Saturday, it was market day in Haría, so we hoped for better weather then and went to bed.
We had no luck with the weather, but the market was lovely, much smaller than in Teguise, with only craft stalls. We had a look into the modern church, which was not promising from the outside, but the inside was beautiful.
This statue of a local hairdresser made Edi laugh because the old hairdresser was sitting behind his door, watching people sitting in the chair.
We made our way through the village to the house of César Manrique. In 1986, he began to build his new house, re-using and adapting a run-down farmhouse on farmland he had purchased in the 1970s. He lived here until his death in 1992.
Afterwards, we left Haría for the coast, where we found a beach restaurant with a camper parking in Arrieta. After standing in a queue for a bit, we got a table protected from the wind and with the occasional sunny spell. The service and food was great!
The next day, it was sunny! We tried to get us much into that day as possible, starting with the cactus garden – more soon!
