My husband and I were on vacation this year in the famous Tenerife. According to our plan, we were supposed to visit all the islands of the Canary archipelago. But we didn't have enough time for everything. It took us quite a long time to buy our tour, my husband attended some presentation at the Alfa travel agency, after which he persuaded me to go to the Canary Islands for a couple of days. I can’t say that it took so long to persuade me, but I didn’t really want to attend the presentation. As a result, I gave in to my husband's persuasion and we went to the office of the Alfa travel agency, where he had already been and where he liked everything so much. We were told for a very long time about the Canary Islands, we found out for a long time what resorts and what hotels are available. And after three hours of conversations and stories, we still got the long-awaited vouchers. The flight was normal and the hotel was also good. As a result of our vacation, we managed to visit, respectively, Tenerife itself, as well as the island of La Gomera. That's actually about La Gomera, I'm going to tell you. This island has practically not been touched by civilization, it's great that excursions are organized there. We went there by ferry, not long to go less than an hour. There are no special entertainments on the island, but there is amazing nature. We visited the fabulous forests of Laurosilva and the Garajonay National Park. By the way, this is the island where Christopher Columbus made his last stop before his first voyage to the New World. We were told about this on the island three times already, apparently the locals really like this fact. And at the end of the whole tour, we tasted amazing Homeric food in a cozy restaurant in the capital of the island, San Sebastian. The food is somewhat different from Tenerife, but I am not a special culinary specialist to tell you the special mysteries of their masterpieces. When we got back to our hotel, I was even a little sad that our tour had passed so quickly. Next time, of course, I plan to visit other islands, and in general I am considering a stop on this island. City of Nizhny Novgorod.
