Hello everyone... the mud is FUN. Barrels of fun, especially if you are two or more persons and paint each other from head to toenails...

I hope placing the image works as I expect it... it shows my girlfriend & me making wild faces - notice how you can model your hair when its "mud-enhanced" (the picture was taken last year):



The perfect mud recipe: take a plastic bag to the beach, collect some of the mud and crush it (it is very soft stone), then fill the bag with a little bit of sea water & let it "ripe" in the sun for an hour or so. Then crush the remaining mud pieces & fill with sea water until you have a smooth paste, and the wild painting can begin. Its so much fun, you have to try it at least once.

I've seen people adding olive oil to their mud mixture, but I really do NOT like this, after all you're going to wash the mud off in the sea and then the oil is in the sea, which is not very nice.

And Dimitri is right: after you washed off the dried mud, the skin is really very soft & smooth, feels very nice - in other places, people pay a lot of money for that! :-O But take care of mud remainders in your ears & elsewhere ...it makes really nasty stains in your towels!

Greetings from cold & grey Germany...

What an excellent picture. Which end of the beach is the mud as we have never seen it.

Wow, can't wait. only another 4 days to go. The mud is on the naturist part of the beech. Viv & Pete

Addition: be sure to pick the "pure" green clay-stones... you'll recognize it on your way towards the naturist beach... (there's some claystone cliffs you pass) ...that gives the smoothest mud-paste.

Greetings,
Alexander.

Hello Aline,

We would all love to be there to see the beautiful views for ourselves I bet your rain is a lot warmer than ours    

I love Afionas and go up there quite a lot when on holiday, last monday we had a lovely breakfast in the Panorama and the sun was shining, unlike the Saturday when it rained, rained, rained  

 Perhaps you could start a 'daily column' just like a journalist with little snippets on Arillas to keep me and the other forum members happy throughout the winter until we return to Arillas next year.
