If we moved our airport transfer to today, we could get to the airport, hire a car from there, use it to get around today and tomorrow, and store our luggage in it once we checked out\u2014before using it to get back to the airport for our flight home. The car hire even worked out cheaper than the e-bikes! So, that\u2019s what we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transfer bus took a rather convoluted route, but we eventually got to the airport, picked up a nice VW Golf, and then got used to driving on the &#8220;wrong&#8221; side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first stop was the\u00a0<strong>Las Salinas Salt Museum<\/strong>, an interesting little visit that gave us some insight into the island\u2019s salt production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"has-rounded-corners-10\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div

We had ended up quite a way from Corralejo, but the roads were easy, and having the car gave us freedom. So, instead of taking the direct route back, we opted for the scenic one\u2014first heading to\u00a0<strong>El Cotillo<\/strong>, then to\u00a0<strong>Majanicho<\/strong>, where we followed the\u00a0dusty dirt road along the north coast\u00a0back to Corralejo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a rushed dinner in\u00a0Music Square, we finally got to do our<strong>\u00a0s<\/strong>tar-gazing trip. This time, we were collected by Dee, who was supposed to take us to a remote spot to meet Karen, our guide for the night sky. However, Dee managed to\u00a0get lost, so we spent a while driving back and forth along dark mountain roads before Anna and I decided to take charge of the navigation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we reached the correct location, we grabbed blankets, binoculars, and rugs, then settled into a stone circle for an\u00a0hour or so of stargazing. We spotted\u00a0Orion, Jupiter, satellites, shooting stars, and various constellations. It was a little chilly and occasionally cloudy, but when the skies cleared, the stars were stunning. Karen took some photos of us, and we all had a great time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"has-rounded-corners-10\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:52.93202%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4700.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4700.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4700.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4700.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=1000&#038;ssl=1 1000w\" alt=\"Starry Skies\" data-height=\"666\" data-id=\"45350\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=45350\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4700.jpeg\" data-width=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4700.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:23.53399%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4704.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4704.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4704.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=666&#038;ssl=1 666w\" alt=\"Star-Gazing\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"45351\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=45351\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4704.jpeg\" data-width=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4704.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 2 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:23.53399%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4713.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4713.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4713.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=666&#038;ssl=1 666w\" alt=\"Star-Gazing\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"45349\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=45349\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4713.jpeg\" data-width=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/750_4713.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 3 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 9 &#8211; Minigolf and Heading Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was\u00a0home time, but with our flight not until 7pm, we had most of the day to ourselves.
