I went on a trip around the North of the island which is very green in contrast to the south which is like a moonscape. The first stop was a beach near the opera house. Then we went to Firgas in the mountains which has natural springs. And finally we went to Arucas. The church has the same architect as the cathedral in Barcelona. I visited the gardens and a traditional houseMeer informatie
