you have to identify the location described.
it is one of the most popular beaches on a popular island. in 1973 four million bags of sand were shipped in from the sahara- once part of the countrys imperial past - to create this 1,500-metre golden crescent. the palm trees are home grown, and provide shade for visiters, who come to snorkel,swim,water ski and boogie board, or simply to picnic with cold beers and goat cheese sandwiches, nearby is a village, founded shortly after columbus discovered america, which unti 1940 was only accessible on foot, beyond is a rugged mountain range filled with plunging ravines, verdant forests and tiny hamlets ( including a ancient community of troglodyte dwellings )as well as legends of pirates and witchcraft, it's dramatic landscape is best explored with a pair of hiking boots, although after a few days of strenuous hillwalking, a cold beer on the beach may appeal. where are you? there is also a picture of a beach with a few palm trees on it. has anyone any ideas of were it could be, thanks for any replys
