Toward the end of the dog walk (inland from the coast highway), we saw some black smoke, and we couldn’t figure out where it might be coming from. It was in the direction of the origin of two forest fires where we walk. And it seemed farther away than the beach. So on the way home I stopped at El Águila, one of several eccentric local constructions, and there it was. I asked the car park attendant if it was a boat. He assured me it was. I don’t remember where the island is, I said, He again assured me it was a boat.
But I checked when I got home, traced my line of sight, and lo and behold, it very well could have been the Isla de Flores. Which begs the question: what is there that could burn?
UPDATE next day: it was a boat
