Back to the market because I need more cheese and fruits. I notice many cheeses are lightly smoked, also the young kind. Cheeses produced on other Canary Islands are common on La Palma, especially from Gran Canaria, and some from Lanzarote that I recognise.
Good looking island grown beans
New potatoes (La Palma grown). There are specks of rosé on the peel.
Winter tomatoes
A tight passage to some houses. The front doors are half the size of our doors at home. A few hundred years ago many things were small, people included.
Stones on a footpath are meticulously arranged in a certain pattern.
I'm glad I have no one to think sweetly of.
One of many typical steep streets in the capital.
The best beach is an empty one.
Every morning I eat half a papaya and 1 big avocado (plus other things). Then another avocado sometime in the afternoon. This island produces a few fruits such as papaya, avocado, banana (most important), mango, guava, citrus, loquat, fig, prickly pear, apples, pear, cherry and many more!). But let me tell you about the avocados grown on this island... it's literally like eating a block of butter. So creamy, so dense, so rich you need to take a pause half way. On par with high quality Mexican avocados that I enjoy eating so much there. Also, islanders want you to know they eat lots of avocados, long before the hipsters. Chileans told me the same. They even put avocado in fast food in Chile. I'm taking some La Palma avocados home. Originally I had planned to bring goat cheeses back but now also avocados.
2 new goat's cheeses. Left is strong and hard, right is rich and creamy (firm).
The middle sardine is huge. All 3 have roe.
Another golden ale, from island's own craft brewery La Isla Verde.
This other island craft brewery hardly says anything about their beer. Very little information is provided, even on their website.
The last beer and in the background are all the beers we drink thus far.
Moving on to a small village in the mountain in the south of the island the next day.
