In the morning light winds from SW - so no real good flying site...
But at Malpaso - the highest point on el Hierro (1501m) - we've found a place where I could groundhandle a bit.
The further SW we drove, the clearer the sky became.

| El Sabinbar - these are some of the oldest plants in the whole of spain |

| Arenas Blancas (looking towards Frontera) |
Driving back to Frontera we had coffee with Alvaro, one of the contacts here I had been given. He recommended some good restaurants and also suggested that we should drive up to Dos Hermanas for an evening flight (- thanks for all the tipps!).

| Dos Hermanas |
When we got there, the clouds, which had covered the launch most of the day, had dissipated. With a little tailwind (and a long run) Hart and I both managed good launches :-) I even could find some weak thermals to extend my flight a little before landing at Los Sargos as the sun was setting.

All in all a long, but very interesting day which we finished off with a good dinner at 'la Bodeguita del Fà'.
