Spain - Canary Islands - A Postcard from La Palma
Out and about in the Atlantic in February 2018 On the coastal path at Los Concajos There is no threat of a Banana Drama when you go to La Palma, they grow here by the thousand. Have to admit I had never heard of La Palma before we chanced upon some cheap flights. We had just about given up on finding a warmish place to visit for a week in February when TW noticed £70 return last-minute flights to La Palma. Perfect! When you have to get up at 4 in the morning to get a flight you start to doubt whether it is worth the hassle. Well it was very much worth the the effort. La Palma is lovely and the people were great too. TUI plane spotting We knew the forecast before we booked so cannot complain about the weather. Wet and windy with a bit of sunshine - fair enough. Not typical, they even had snow on the mountain tops while we were there! Mind you the mountains are are higher than many an Austrian ski resort as they climb to over 2,400m. The hills are 'more alive' too
