Waves are washing over the quay wall by Castillo San Felipe and along the harbour mole, yet walkers keep stepping onto the sea defences. The Canary Islands government has been warning of heavy seas for days.

Playa Jardín is closed due to high waves. Swimming is not permitted. Nevertheless, some sunbathers are still making the most of it by sunbathing extensively in front of the barrier.
