Well with Mrs Db nicely seated on Dorada beach, I thought I would try a power walk down to the Rubicon Palace and then walk back at a reasonable pace to give people an idea of the walk. I would also take times at various points along the route but would only take photos at only Hotel points during the power walk to keep the pace up.



So here at 11:30 am at the last town side resto



my 800m and half marathon days are over but still have a bit of fitness for my age

The Irish Anvil



On to middle of Puerto Chicos



I must stress one wouldn't be doing this pace going to the restos

At the Lanzarote Park Hotel



getting to Flamingo beach



at the end of Flamingo beach and using my breathing techiques from running days lol



Timanfaya Palace I'll get better pics on the way back



nobody overtook me in the making of this film (except a couple of cyclist)

Atlantic Gardens



but a small bridge did give me a sort of chicane effect but they let me pass lol

the Natural Palace



at the La Mulata Complex with 4/5 retos there



So here I am at the Rubicon Palace in a shave under the 30 minute



a much fitter person might shave a bit more from the time but hope this helps

Now a minute to recover and a quick drink lol



So I now wanted to walk at a more reasonable pace and take a few pictures on the hoof as such

So here at 12 hundred hours lol



so I now had to drop the pace





I needed a couple of pace makers for a good sample



Ah the couple who passed me on my minutes rest ahead



So now I can take pictures without losing any time



not far from La Mulata





so just at the La Mulata complex now



Sebastyans I think they are a Greek resto



Manea a well thought of cocktail bar



last in the line a diving centre



There is a rocky beach area here



but not a beach place that is really any good IMO



Carrying on the walk





At the Natura Palace gate



carrying on the walk, no stopping







is the cat leading the pace lol





still following the pace







quite a long stretch this without much to talk aout



but the pace is quite good, we are overtaking some couples



so for some this walk is going to be too fast



and as a couple, I'm sure Mrs Db and I would be slower



but still keeping pace by following





Now at the gate of the Timanfaya Palace



quite a big area for the hotel













This is the time at the nearest gate to Flamingo beach but not sure if they ever open it



and now heading toward the start of the beach



oh i'm losing my pacemakers



time check at start of the beach







Paving getting a little worn along this stretch



time check at more or less the end of Flamingo beach





lots of little areas of sand made in the rocks



slight incline towards Lanzarote Park hotel



with the hotel coming into view





and a time check at Lanzarote Park

















Puerto Chico's coming up



and i have new pacemakers to keep the pace going lol





I must add we are still overtaking people and nobody passing us



gates of Purto Chico's didn't do a watch check






Time check at the Irish Anvil



losing pace makers again lol





could be new pace makers



but I have the measure of this pace now and they were not doing it



that would be more the pace Mrs Db and I would do to the restos





so now at the start of the resto run where I started this mad walk lol



but I have to get back to Mrs Db at the Dorado beach so I am going to continue the timings



at this point I would like to add that if you walk slowish you are going to have to add time and I would say you would be looking at over 40 minutes to reach here





so no flashy pictures here, all done on the hoff



and I said to Mrs Db i would be back for 1pm lol





town beach coming up



time check at town's beach





coming to the promenade run of restos



Time check at the Fund Grube





so the last stretch, heading towards the Dorado beach



Passing the rear entrance to the Casa Del Embajador









now coming up to the Papagayo Commercial Centre



And the Princesa Yaiza and Dorada beach coming into view



and the colourful hedges of the Princesa Yaiza





The Princesa yaiza gate to the promenade which is central to the Dorada beach



And the time check at the gate



There you are, I told you I would be back by one Mrs Db lol

I would say at this pace, the marina would be a further 8 minutes away but again bear in mind, this walk was faster than I would do with Mrs Db. I hope it gives you an approximate idea of times
