La Palma

Here we are in lovely La Palma. There are lots of mountains to be seen in the background surrounding this small city, and inside the city every building is adorned with brightly coloured paintings. It's full of artists, their workshops, markets for their products, and samples of the art on every surface. Even the streetlight poles are painted. It's a great place to walk around in.


We spent one night here, staying in a hotel set on a hill. All of its walls are painted like throughout the city. We were delighted to talk to a waitress there during dinner; she was happy that we asked her questions about her city and gave us a lot more information than our guidebook contains about La Palma. We were so happy to be able to converse in Spanish!


Also, we've been happy to find an Internet cafe here with a very fast connection. So Iff is uploading lots more photos. You'll soon see links to them here on the blog!
