The island is an oasis of tranquility, no mass tourism, disco's or huge resorts to be seen. Its natural beauty is overwhelming, people work hard improving the infrastructure and prices are still reasonable (and in euros so easy to assess). You hve to help yourself to all of this and sometimes the nice spots are hard to locate.

1. The crater of the San Antonio vulcano


2. The beautiful Plaza Glorieta in Las Manchas which resembles in part Gaudi's Parc Gruel in Barcelona

4. The salt basins and lighthouses of Faro de Fuencaliente at the southernmost tip of the island formed by recent volcanic activity.
