Of
all Canarian islands la Palma is, because of its gigantic caldera, recent
outbursts (1971) and vast black lava fields, perhaps the most volcanic one. It’s
also the place where you can breathe the purest air of Western Europe, which helps
a great deal while walking on steep trails…
When
it's warm you see a lot of cheerful canaries and running lizards. And when
you're very observant, you might set eyes on the beautiful Gallot’s lizard, a
wonderful endemic species. Apart from beautiful nature men has created along
the west coast a sort of banana republic. From a "Christo &
Warhol" point of view I must say I like it … Another example of human
intervention are the windmills along the coast which can be seen as decorative.
Judge for yourself!
