No, its not the Namibian desert. It's the Duna de Bolonia.

"Hundreds of thousands of small, stinging grains of sand travelling at warp factor 4 directly into the face for the next 45 minutes wasn’t what I would call fun. Having said that it was a very cheap, complete and thorough exfoliation of the skin."

Love the photographs! Really different from my usual timeline, the 3rd one reminds me of a scene in the movie DUNE ;)

Thank you. It's a really strange phenomenon is this dune, caused by "levante" (easterly) winds. Unique.

Very very cool :)

Is the sand coming over from Africa? Like somewhat similar to some of the Canary islands?

yes we do get the "Calima" Saharan dust affecting us. More and more in recent years. This dune though is built up by the constant easterlies that move sands away from the coast and up into an area of hills. How the sands get replenished I don't know
