    Gran Canaria to Tenerife and La Gomera

    November 12, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    On another sunny and warm day, I took a taxi from the hotel in Aguimes to the airport at 11.30. The departure hall at the airport was about 1km long and very busy.
    The Binter Canarias flight to Tenerife Sur on an ATR took 40 minutes. I was met by Brian, the Explore leader, and taken by taxi to Andrew's Hotel in Los Cristianos, the meeting point for the group. I walked with Alison to the beach and had a coffee, before returning to the hotel to meet the rest of the group, and then walking to the ferry port.
    The Armas Naviera ferry to San Sebastion, the capital of La Gomera, departed at 19.30 and took an hour. We checked into the Hotel Torre del Conde, and then walked across the road for a late dinner.
    The group consisted of Alison from Colchester, Tricia from Rochester, Lee from Finsbury Park, Pauline from Glasgow, Kevin from Preston, Giselle and Tim (ex-BP) from Malvern, Christine and James from near Bangor, and Fernaz from New York. Brian Teuwen, the leader, was Dutch and had starred in Bittersweet Days in 2016.
