Punta Sardina Lighthouse — Attraction in Gáldar

Picture this: parked under the watchful beam of Faro de Punta Sardina, I settled into my RV, ready to embrace a night of celestial tranquility. Little did I know, my dreams of peaceful slumber were about to hit a teenage turbulence.

As the night unfolded, a procession of local youths descended upon the scene, not for an appreciation of the cosmic wonders, but for a rendezvous with rebellious banter and herbal remedies. They treated the lighthouse surroundings as the stage for their late-night teenage sitcom, where every plot twist was narrated at a volume that rivaled a rock concert.

Oh, the irony! I came seeking the gentle hum of the ocean and the whispers of the night wind through the RV windows. Instead, I got an impromptu concert of youthful exuberance, complete with engine revs, laughter, and the occasional deep discussion on the mysteries of the universe – or perhaps just the best munchies to pair with their nocturnal adventures.
