We found La Palma to be by far the most beautiful of the Canary Islands. It is the most lush and green. It is also the world's steepest island, which makes for incredible vistas.... and scarier than ever hairpin turns up the mountainsides! (My fingernails are almost all gone!)
La Palma is also known for its beautiful flower-bedecked balconies......
....and cathedrals, too!
Uh-oh....we're wondering how we'll ever get this souvenir hat onto the airplane!!
Chuck loved this peaceful little square. It had all the basics....a cathedral.... a fountain.... and a pub!!
The vistas are so beautiful that they look fake!!
Dazzling beauty....wherever you look!
We went all the way up to La Caldera de Taburiente and hiked a trail around the crater. The rugged and eerie beauty took our breath away!
The crater is forested with the majestic and fire-resistant Canary Pine and is one of the most beautiful (and quietest!!) spots I have ever seen. (That little white spot toward the lower right corner is our bus!)
