Often, a walk is a necessity, whether for oneself or for someone else. If it’s for oneself, it benefits both body and mind; if it’s for someone else, we help them to clear their thoughts and find peace when they need it.
A week ago, my mother had an operation. It was a simple one, a common procedure, cataract surgery, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any nervousness, stress or worry involved. So, a few days beforehand, I invited her for a walk. One where she could focus on other things, breathe in the sea air and get a change of scenery. My aim was to take her mind off things for a few hours.
So I prepared some mate, a typical Argentinean herbal tea, packed everything we needed into a rucksack including a small apple cake and we took the bus. The plan was to reach the start of the path leading to the lighthouse, rest there for a while, drink mate, chat about anything and everything, and then walk along the sand, listen to the soothing sounds of the sea and have a lovely time.
That day, when we found a place to sit, we saw a black cloud in the distance, which you can see in the photos, but which was much darker and denser when we got there. We sat down and looked it up online. There was a fire in an industrial estate in a town to the east, and the cloud was visible from the centre of Málaga. It was a huge fire, but the fire brigade managed to put it out. Little by little, the cloud dissipated.
Meanwhile, we chatted and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. There were lots of people out for a stroll. The seafront promenade is the place of choice; it’s always a favourite with both locals and tourists alike, and at this time of year there are plenty of tourists, though I suppose there are always some. With so many festive seasons, combined with the summer and the beautiful beaches, there’s always a lot of tourism.
After a while, we resumed our walk towards the sea, right where Malagueta Beach meets the Paseo de Levante, which in turn is the continuation of the Paseo de la Farola. There are so many paths to explore that there’s always a great opportunity for wonderful walks.
The walk took us past rocks, sand and water, but above all, we admired the beautiful views. You could still see the dark cloud of smoke in the distance, but it was getting smaller and smaller.
You know I love paying attention to everything I see around me, and I couldn’t help but look at the moss on the rocks, its shapes, its size, and how the water left its foam on them.
I’m a huge fan of watching the white sea foam, and it’s one of the things I love most to paint in my pictures when I paint the sea. That’s why every little wave that came in was an opportunity for a photograph. The sea is always an excellent subject for that.
Behind me stood the streetlamp, creating a beautiful scene, and ahead of me lay more and more foam. On one side of the promenade was the Levante, with its row of palm trees, and on the other side was the beach, where people were already enjoying the early spring sunshine. It was a perfect day. And best of all, my mother took my mind off things; I walked and could see her looking so calm.
Water always brings good energy and I believe it is healing; even its sounds calm a restless mind, and that is good for the body too.
The walk continued back along Pier One, watching as the sun was already bidding farewell to the city to bring energy elsewhere. The sun is another great source of energy and I always love feeling it on my face and enjoying its many benefits.
What’s more, there are always large, beautiful ships to see there; I love ships and their reflections. The setting is one of the most beautiful in the city, with the castles in the background, avenues lined with palm trees, and the cathedral visible on the other side. A magical moment, where time stands still to offer us pure beauty.
Thank you very much for joining me on this relaxing Wednesday stroll. Warm regards to you all. See you soon.
Amonet.

Good morning @avdesing, thank you for this nice walk... the black cloud really hit me, it seems that the fire was big. The truth is that there is no black cloud that can spoil a walk like the one you show us. I hope your mom's vision checkup comes with some very good news.
I wish you a nice Wednesday.
That black cloud was a bit of a downer, ha ha ha
Let's get on with it!!! See you later!
😅🤗🤗🤗👋👋
Todo bien, cuidados por un mes más pero puede hacer algunas cosas más, aunque por ejemplo yo le lavo la cabeza... y las cosas de fuerza. Pero va muy bien.
Buenas noticias..
Me alegro mucho por las dos. 😊🤗
En junio le dan cita para el otro ojo!
Muy pronto va a poder ver bien, junio está muy cerca. 😊
Herbal tea sounds good to perfect place like that 😊
Thank you!!😃
Very nice beautiful sea view for a walk it's not boring. The picture is perfect. Thank you. Greetings.
Thank you so so much!😃
Thank you're welcome.
Thanks!!
Buen día, querida amiga @avdesing.
Las caminatas son de esas actividades deportivas más completas para nuestro organismo. Ya que, además de nuestro cuerpo, estamos haciendo algo relajante para nuestra mente.
Genial que pensaras en la caminata como un método de relajación para tu madre; sin dudas, por más simple que pueda ser una cirugía, siempre hay nerviosismo.
Las tomas que has hecho son preciosas; me gustan las olas rompiendo en las piedras y el precioso faro.
Muchas gracias por compartir esta experiencia de caminata.
Que tengas un dia hermoso
Good morning, dear friend @avdesing.
Walking is one of the most complete forms of exercise for our bodies. Besides working our bodies, we're also doing something relaxing for our minds.
It's wonderful that you thought of walking as a way for your mother to relax; no matter how simple a surgery may seem, there's always some nervousness.
The photos you took are beautiful; I love the waves crashing against the rocks and the lovely lighthouse.
Thank you so much for sharing this walking experience.
Have a wonderful day!
We've just come back from the check-up, and everything's going really well – another month of care! Thank you!
Hello Amonet.
Whether it's for necessity, sport, or to stay in shape, walks are always great, especially when you walk through such beautiful places as you have there.
I love the sea, the waves, the rocks, and the moss. The lighthouse is gorgeous; we have one in the city too.
What beautiful photos!
Have a great day.
I love the place and the lighthouse; it’s a really relaxed spot for a walk. Thanks!
En un lugar así, si que provoca caminar, incluso detenerse a observar y respirar profundo.
Hay fotografías que me gustaron mucho más que otras, una donde se ven las palmeras. Otra donde se ve las palmeras, el faro y unos edificios, la que tiene la luz del horizonte, el barco, etc (mejor digo todas jajaja). Una belleza.
Es un lugar muy concurrido, pero como iba con mi madre antes de la operación preferí no ir lejos. Ahora es que regreso de la revisión con ella... tiene un mes más de cuidados. Luego se opera el otro ojo!! Pero ya puede salir e iremos más lejos, playas alejadas y hermosas!!! Gracias!
Espero que se recupere pronto y que puedan ir más lejos.
Esta ansiosa por eso, jamás en su vida vio como ahora.
It really is a walk to clear the mind. There, close to the foam and the mossy rocks, I get hypnotised. I hope your mum is well and recovering perfectly.
Llegamos hace un rato de revisión, va todo bien. Necesita un mes más de gotas y cuidados y luego le darán cita para operar el otro ojo!
😎 perfecto

Thank you!!
Great views of the sea and its waves cascading the shore. Going to the shore is one way of meditating our mind and doing the self reflection. In the shore we can absorb also the the abundance negative ions in which our body needed to revive our lost energy .
Thank you very much!😃

I'm always jealous of people who live close to the sea, I think walking close to the sea it's very relaxing and really help to clean the mind, wonderful photos and walk 💕💕
When I moved to Spain, it was my top priority, after never having seen the sea my whole life. It’s brilliant. Thank you so much!!🤗

Thank you!
This is a beautiful place and perfect for healing. I hope your mother keeps getting better after her surgery.🌿
She's still doing well!! She had a check-up yesterday; she has a month of recovery ahead of her and then she'll have surgery on her other eye, but everything went perfectly. Thank you very much!
I would sit on the rocks and watch the water, but not when there's a crowd. I like peace and quiet. Otherwise the place looks nice.
There weren't many people where I was, but as I'd taken my mum there before her operation, I didn't want to go too far. I've just come back with her from her check-up; she's allowed to go for walks now, so I'm going to look for beaches far away!! Far away from the crowds 😆
