San Felipe

11/12/2010, San Felipe, Santa María de Guía, Gran Canaria.

The rocky and weather-beaten North coast of Gran Canaria is the antithesis of the South coast's mass tourism.

In this view, showing the westernmost development of the small coastal village, one can see the large waves rolling to shore and the short 'paseo' - promenade - in front of the houses.
Beyond this settlement, the shore extends into a large bay filled with huge rounded boulders, worn so by aeons of wave action, and the land rises quickly and dramatically to soaring mountains.
I believe I took the photo from this position, or somewhere close by:
