BookTrail Travel to The Canary Islands
In these, and other fascinating stories, you’ll encounter a host of captivating characters, some of whom have left their mark in the history of these beautiful Atlantic islands, and you’ll discover that this unique archipelago off the African coast is so much more than just a modern-day tourist destination
“It is unusual to find young travellers to the Canary islands leaving the luxury of their all inclusive hotels or sun-tanning beach. Some only feel at home if they don’t wander off too far away from the resort’s happy-hour pub ambience.
But a different, more adventurous breed does exist. They like to devour the delicacies of indigenous cuisine. They seek out the island’s hidden charms. They want to bathe in rock pools and chase sunsets through the pine forests and over volcanic landscapes.
They discover the idiosyncrasy of mountain villages.”
