We've never been to this island before and were pleasantly surprised. Had a walk down the promenade, admired the flowers and palm trees, black sandy beaches, rocky cliffs and craggy GREEN hills. In the town we found the oldest building, a tower dating back to 1447, a house where Columbus stayed before crossing the Atlantic, and a beautiful old church. We took lots of photos of the streets lined with pastel coloured houses, which I'm hoping may be useful when I get to the 'perspective' units on my painting course back home.
We were back onboard in time for lunch, which today we took in the main dining room on a table for two overlooking the bright blue sea. Just to make the view perfect, the clouds over neighbouring Tenerife lifted for a while, and we could see the snow at the top of Mount Teide. Just like home, eh?
