Favourite Things

This is one of our favourite places for a coffee.
It is situated on top of the mountain on the way to Betancuria.
It is possible to see almost the whole of the Island from this vantage point.
In the winter there is a very welcome blazing log fire.

This is one of our favourite windmills.

This is one of our favourite walks.
It starts at Vega de Rio Palmas and leads to a small Hermitage.


A flower from the garden.







A barbary ground squirrel, commonly known as a chipmonk.
They are very cute and live among the rocks.

Another flower from the garden.





An ugly cactus from the garden which produces the most beautiful & delicate flowers.






A Canary Island lizard, which is commonly seen everywhere.
