It's the final walk and we decide to take the road (the main road in this part of the island that links cities and towns). Nice that they have added a new path for walkers and bikers, though it disappears in some parts and not nice to be walking soooo close to cars. Photos taken along the road on this walk.
Land of wine between the volcanoes.
A tree as a roundabout. At home they would never have it. They take pleasure in getting rid of trees.
Contrasting colours
Some people don't make a big effort to have a quaint garden.
I always notice this border colour, it's the same colour as the roof tiles and windows.
Tomato seeds for sale in various languages.
So many carrion crows in a graceful dance. One of the reasons is socialising and exchanging information.
Petrol prices. Still cheaper than at home (almost E. 2,10/L)
The clouds rise from below much of the way.
The most "atmospheric" walk so far.
Stop sign at a junction. We are engulfed in clouds.
But not this lone house.
Back at the goat's cheese farm where we take a break to eat our packed lunch. Too bad it's their rest day so no cheese purchase for us.
Nice of them to have a bus stop near a trail start/finish point or a junction. You can always take the bus back and walk the second part on another day.
Jenny the donkey comes running again, and making very loud noises at the same time. She doesn't know it's the last time we see each other. As Weinoo says, donkeys are intelligent and gentle. They are also social creatures.
Stay gold, Jenny. Thanks for your kindness and gentleness.
Back in our base village. The last look at Volcan Antonio, pine trees and vineyards we see on our walks every day.
We have the greatest luck with the weather. The sun god smiles on us most days here on La Palma.
Everything has to be eaten and finished today. We will make it to the north of the island in the future, but for now we are curious about this type of wine that is typical there (in the north). Nothing to do with "tea", though. The wine has been aged in Canarian pine barrels which impart a specific taste. It tastes very piney! Medicinal, even. A bit of an acquired taste for us. And speaking of pine, its needles, birch sap etc that also find their way into craft beers. I don't like those beers but this wine is not that bad.
Last of queso fresco I mix with avocado and raw minced garlic.
Beef steaks
Information and cooking instructions on back of the package. Wish I had this picture of steak doneness when I was travelling in big meat eating countries where they only do "well done" Next time I will.
We move on to another place next (the second part of the trip).
