Jolan at the Atlantic Ocean Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jolanaran: Game over.
Today I went to GZ in order to check the situation after my absence in 2020 due to covid-19, and I found 2 boxes: the original one in good condition at GZ, and a broken one 5m away (put there by ???) .
What I understand from the latest log is that there is a third one, a white box, which I could not find, even not after searching for over half an hour...
This game is NOT about placing a new box when you can not find the original one, supposing that one is missing. When it is suspected that something is wrong, the ONLY solution is a "needs maintenace" log. I have relatives living on the island who can replace the cache within the same week.
Nevertheless, I understand that propably these situation is caused by geocachers with the best intentions, but to my opinion it creates chaos.

Geocache Description:


La Pared is situated almost in the middle of the overwhelming west coast of Fuerteventura.

Most visitors just leave their car and go to the two viewpoints in front of the parking place: one on the right side, and one on the left side. However, there is so much more to see in the near environment.

This cache leads you to one of those places, very close to the sea, about 10 m above it. Once there, you can log and return, but a much better idea is to continue your walk; you will not regret it. It's up to you!

There are a million ways to reach to the place of the cache, the most adventurous way is to find it all by yourself. In a straight line it is only 1.15 km from the indicated parking area. But there are some minor "barranco's" to cross.
However if you feel more comfortable by following a more or less existing path, just follow the coordinates as in the listing. From the parking, go to consecutively:
N28 12.759  W14 13.300 - beginning of the path
N28 12.671  W14 13.493
N28 12.590  W14 13.549
N28 12.590  W14 13.570
N28 12.580  W14 13.637
N28 12.540  W14 13.643
N28 12.545  W14 13.688
N28 12.584  W14 13.775
N28 12.559  W14 13.788
From this point on, you have to do it by yourself.

My suggestion is to find your own path, absolutely!!
Enjoy the place of the cache!!! When you are lucky and the water is high, it's even more spectacular.
And please take care when putting back the cache: BEHIND the stones, not UNDER the stones. Maximum 1 little stone on top.
