The End of the Adventure

Well, not quite the end because my very last stop, before a garage to fill the car with fuel, is to the Centro de Visitantes de La Caldera de Taburiente, or the Taburiente Caldera Visitor's Centre, but I guess you worked that out. 🤭

The caldera is the great chunk that's missing from the top half of La Palma and it is it's highest ridge where I was taking photos those first two nights. It's a protected National Park.

I really enjoyed my time at the Centre. The exhibition is very well done, but I was fascinated with the model of the island which shows the main roads and the many walking routes. It's a walkers paradise here though some of the walks are hard and not for the faint hearted. There is one which is about 18km - The Volcano route. There is another which skims the edge of the caldera, past where I stood with my camera. Fancy doing them?

But now it's time to go to the airport and wing my way home. Actually, with luck maybe I'm in a seat like everyone else!

I hope you have enjoyed this adventure with me and that my never-ending words and photos have brought some enjoyment to your days. I've loved this trip even though at times it has felt exhausting. Hopefully I'll have photos to be proud of.

Thanks again for travelling with me and I hope you will join me for the next one.Read more
