Friday 15th October we were visiting Playa de Santiago on the south coast of the Island. While we were here we took the opportunity to walk along this pedestrianised street which runs along the top of the Beach. It is a walk of roughly about one kilometre, a twenty minute slow amble on a flat surface. The stoney beach is in two parts, separated by a concrete groyne with a small wooden pier on top of it, which is possible to walk along. The are a mixture of buildings along the Avenue with a variety of uses, commercial and residential. There are a number of bars and restaurants, a few supermarkets, tourist office, Municipal Offices. Along the way there is an open Square area, a stage had been erected to host a recent fevent to raise funds for the people of Las Palmas enduring the ravages of an erupting volcano. We walked to the end to the Port area of the Town where the delightful Church, Ermita de la Virgen del Carmen is located.
