  • Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, offers a vibrant mix of culture, nature, and tradition. The island is known for its towering Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, which provides stunning views and hiking trails for nature lovers.

     

    In the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you can explore colonial streets, museums, and historic churches. Another highlight is the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, famous for its colorful carnival, one of the largest in the world. In terms of cuisine, Tenerife offers specialties such as gofio, papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, and freshly grilled fish.

     

    For beach lovers, the volcanic black or golden sand beaches, like Las Teresitas, are perfect for relaxation. With a blend of African, Spanish, and Latin American influences, Tenerife is a destination that surprises with its cultural and natural diversity.

  • Santa Cruz de La Palma, the capital of the island of La Palma, is a charming city with a rich historical and cultural heritage. Its cobbled streets, lined with colonial buildings featuring wooden balconies, invite a leisurely stroll through the historic center, where Plaza de España and the Church of El Salvador are must-see landmarks. The city's port was a strategic point during the age of exploration, and its replica of a Spanish galleon, the Barco de la Virgen, pays tribute to this maritime history.

     

    The local cuisine includes delights like almendrados (almond cookies) and fresh seafood dishes typical of the region. The city is an excellent base for exploring La Palma's volcanic landscapes and hiking trails, as the island is known as the "Isla Bonita."

The second night of our trip was sky clear enough so we could see all those stars and Milkyway. And we were so lucky that at the same moment, we reached the place with a lot of plankton that was fluorescent. It was a very magic moment.

Many small moments with different crew members made this navigation magical: share the spectacle of a sunset or dolphins playing at the front of the boat, participate in maneuvers, ...etc

I won't forget the long-suffering patient crew member who taught me to tie a double bowline. It took ages but I finally got it, and was able to teach another passenger.

Plein de moments magiques pendant le voyage. C'était impressionnant de voir le bateau depuis le zodiac quand on se trouvait à environ 50 ou 100 m du navire. Super la baignade en pleine mer.
