A photo I took a few days ago, showing our so-called "bathtub", the tidal pool just in front of the Las Piteras apartments, as it is filling up with fresh seawater. Along with some others, this bathing area is one of the most beautiful on the whole island and, by the way, the first I knew when I came to Lanzarote in 1992.

Depending on the moonphase, the difference between high tide and low tide is approximately 1.50m to 2.50m, so the same place, in some moments it is just a small puddle, while in other days, during full moon or new moon, it can be a wonderful experience when the spring tide brings in big waves fresh water from the sea. But in most cases it is, as seen on our photo today, a quiet and beautiful, sunny beach.
