After two and a half weeks on the beautiful island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, professional sailors Pat & Frankie recount their unforgettable experiences. From hiking to the highest points, exploring stunning landscapes, diving into crystal clear waters, and indulging in local culinary delights – they found paradise.
FAVORITE CANARY ISLAND
La Palma has become their favorite Canary Island with its authentic charm, unique natural beauty, and laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of small Cuban islands. Highlights included diving for the first time in years and feeling the strong influence of Kuba’s culture on the island.
SAFELY SECURING THE BOAT
In windy conditions at the marina, Pat ingeniously creates a DIY solution to securely tie the boat using self-made elastic loops. This clever preventer helps minimize any swinging in strong swells, providing added peace of mind during their stay.
EXPLORING LA PALMA’S NATURAL WONDERS
From volcanic craters to the process of harvesting salt, Pat & Frankie hike to the island’s highest points, marvel at breathtaking views, and taste local specialties like almendrados. La Palma boasts a unique charm with no typical tourist spots or crowded beaches.
CITY LIFE AND LOCAL FESTIVITIES
Strolling through the capital Santa Cruz de La Palma, they witness a pirate-themed festival celebrating the city’s history as a 16th-century free trade hub. Pat and Frankie also discover how this once-famous port fell out of favor with modern tourism trends.
ENJOYING THE BLACK SAND BEACHES
Despite La Palma being off the radar for most tourists, it does boast hidden gems like a tranquil beach located just 5 minutes from the marina. The black sand beach is nearly deserted with crystal clear water, making for a perfect spot to enjoy an evening swim after their long adventure.
LIFE AFTER THE VOLCANIC ERUPTION
Witnessing the impact of a massive volcanic eruption on the island that took place just three years ago, Pat and Frankie visit the lava fields that devoured everything in their path. Although rebuilding is underway, it will take years for La Palma to recover from such a devastating event.
RECONNECTING WITH Diving
After 15 years, Pat finally goes diving again on this island adventure, and they both find it to be a revitalizing experience that leads to incredibly peaceful sleep after such an invigorating day of exploring La Palma’s natural wonders.
