The game of footprints and the sea on La Mata Beach
I could wish for many things, but I think I no longer need to ask for some of them; I always have them with me. The explanation is simple: I carry with me one of my most precious weapons - my senses, so I can reach the wonders of the world that surrounds us easily. We all do that, I am sure you do the same. You see, hear, smell, taste, or feel on your skin the triggers that transform themselves into joy and happy moments.
Just look at the sea. Doesn't that mixed colour of the sea bring you sparkling, summer vibes? For me, it did. And I also felt the warm caresses of the water, heard the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, smelled the scent of the sea grass and algae, and tasted the salt while swimming in this sea this afternoon.
It is the same sea, the Mediterranean, so we could say that it is nothing new for me. However, the beach is a novelty for us, La Mata Beach. It forms part of the town of Torrevieja, which we visited once (just the old town) and one lake close to it, but we have never been to this beach to take a bath and swim.
We came here in the early afternoon, after spending our morning and midday at Embalse de la Pedrera (La Pedrera Water Reservoir). From there, I will have a different story. Now, this beach has stolen the spotlight for this Wednesday walk.
La Mata Beach consists of a cool mix of soft sand and rocks with algae on the seashore. Safe for small children (of course, the small ones should never be left without their parents' supervision) but a joy for older ones too, like me. 😆
I have found a very nice seashell!! 😍 It will be added to a little collection of pebbles that live on the glass shelves in the piano room, as a tangible reminder of a joyful afternoon. My skin is also a reminder of this afternoon and a day spent outside, in the sun... 😂
On the other hand, the footprints impressed in the sand were erased in an instant; they sank into the wet sand and were carried away by the gentle touch of the sea. The waves have their own wish and can make the footprints ephemeral if they want it.
Luckily, this castle was built a little further out of the reach of the waves, so it remained intact during our stay. Tomorrow will be a new day for this beach; new footprints will be left there and erased, and perhaps this castle will be destroyed and new ones built. I won't be able to check it out tomorrow, but if any of you can, please awaken your senses and enjoy the walk on this soft sand and warm, shallow water. 🌊

Sea, waves, sand, that moss I loved, castle and footprints... a perfect whole. I thought of something... footprints are dreams, marks, the sea takes them away to make them come true... that's what I was thinking while I read you and saw the beauty of the sea... I haven't been able to go yet... soon, I hope.
Maybe you are right about the footprints and the sea connection ✨️ now just the sea knows what those feet were thinking about
The sea knows your desires, the sea knows everything!
Maybe, although those were not my footprints haha
I hope you also go to the beach soon. 😃 Today it was impossible for me, it was a work day...
I still can't go... I've got a lot on my plate, but I hope to go soon, maybe once a week. I think I'll start going after my birthday.
So beautiful
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Have a great day
Good evening (or good morning) @mipiano. I have the impression, a very big impression, that that castle will already remain forever, like those footprints on the wet and fresh sand of the seashore.
A very big greeting.
Good evening @enraizar, one day later... I couldn't come earlier, disculpa. And I was not there to check the castle and the footprints hahaha. Thanks for your impressions, y buenas noches 👋
Good evening @mipiano, more than apologized. I'm having a busy few days myself.
Happy dreams!!! 👋
This is beautiful.... we always have one precious thing we carry with us "our senses".... been a while, I visited a beach ⛱️
I hope you visit a beach soon ;)
Yeahhh I will. Hopefully before the end of the year.
Beautiful photos
and your right with our senses we can experience so much sad so many are to busy to take the time to do it
Thanks for joining the Wednesday walk
Have a great day
Thank you @tattoodjay, we can experience wonderful things if we listen to our senses ;)
It’s always the simple, sensory experiences that bring the most joy. Thanks for sharing this lovely walk with us.. I’ll definitely be more mindful of my senses next time I’m near the sea 😊..
The the beach.. It looks so wide in the photos. It might not have the white sand we commonly see, but the water looks so clear.. no big waves, so everyone would probably enjoy splashing in the water.
It was a quite calm afternoon, sometimes there are bigger waves and wind on the sea, but it was definitely clear yesterday :)
That seashell part made me smile! I do the same, I keep tiny souvenirs like stones or shells and put them on a little corner shelf near my window. It's like keeping a small piece of the memory alive.
So you also have a little collection of small stones and seashells ;)) 😇
So every time we complain about life, we need to stop to turn around and remember that someone does not have the opportunity to run on the beach and look at the sea🌊🏖️
We should definitely appreciate these moments while on beach, no doubts 😉✨️
Absolutely 🙏🏻💪🏻
My body asks for waves, sand and breeze, but my pocket asks for food, not just any food, birdseed for owls 🦉
Even if it's -10° one sees the sea and immediately feels the summer 😍
Birdseed for owls... Buhito could start a strict diet so you can go to the beach ⛱️ 😉
I’m dying to go for a swim at the beach! What a lovely shell you’ve brought home. 😃
Thank you ;)
The seashell already found its place. In the end not by the rocks but by other shells. (I made a photo but it doesn't want to upload now into the comment 🤷♀️)
Ahora sí 📸
Gracias por mostrarme tus tesoros. ;) Te dejo a mi dragón para que cuides esa cripta 😅
A propósito, ¿dónde anda metido Hefromund?
El dragón viene en pack con la rubia? 😂
Hefromund está en la otra parte de la estantería , con los pencil sharpeners (para que no diga en español porque un Hiver de la representación cubana 🎾 dijo que esa palabra en vuestro idioma puede tener doble sentido 🤷♀️) ¿dónde está Puma, por cierto? Sabes algo de los jugadores de la representación?
Yo estoy nadando en la playa, donde hay pebbles y haciendo algún ejercicio, estiramiento en el agua y luego trabajo - mi último día allí!
No último día en la playa jajaja sino en trabajo 😂
Viene en pack 😁
Hoy es un día importante para ti entonces. Espero que estés bien con eso... siempre hay otras puertas esperando porque alguien las abra.
(no sé lo del doble sentido...) 🤷♀️
Y Puma está convertido en Caimán otra vez. 🤣
Puma es Caimán otra vez? Jajaja, muy bien! 👌
Fue un día como muy normal, de verdad, he salido de la clase por la última vez y ya. Nada. 😉
Sí, ya te leí. ;)
Ten un lindo finde, Decathlon! 😂
A walk in the sand is the most therapeutic thing for me. I love this ❤️
Yes. We would not complain for a regular therapy like this 😉
🎉🎉🥳 Congratulations 🥳🎊🎊

Thank you 😇
I got some calm looking at your picture.🙂
Most precious weapons are our senses, our sense of hearing, touch,smell and most of all our ability to love and be love and appreciate those simple things around us. What we have that was very important and most especially we have peace in mind and in our hearts.
I can feel the warmth of the sun on my skin just reading your story. A positive perspective is the best perspective. It makes everything brighter.
