We were off for a week of sun, sand and sea this week
A welcome surprise was the Cactus Garden, which was beautifully laid out and contains some very attractive specimens as you can see in the picture ;-)
On parts of the island they still have salt ponds for the production of sea salt. The patchwork of square ponds with different shades of pink, yellow and grey
A popular attraction are the camel rides in Timanfaya national park, a landscape devastated (Iwona) or beautifully created (Cees-Jan) by massive volcanic eruptions some 300 years ago.
The week went by too quick and we waved goodbye from the air where we had a great view over this volcanic island. If you like shades of dry red and brown this is a good place, if you like lush green you're better of somewhere else (like Scotland).
