If you go on walking through the avenue which starts in la Garita, you will reach Melenara. Like it is one hour walking or more, we have there another bus stop. Not more than five minutes walking, it is “Las Salinetas”. Melenara is native Canary language for black sand.
In contrast with La Garita, Melenara has very calm water, so, you can enjoy swimming. In fact, It was awarded with the blue flag.
In the middle of the beach into the water in the top of a stone, there is a Neptune (god of the sea) sculpture.
In summer, june 24th eve, people go there and celebrate San Juan with fireworks. In the past, they would set out bonfires.
