Description
The Canary Islands conjure images of glamorous resorts where sun-kissed holiday-makers stretch out beside blue waters and towering volcanoes. While all this is certainly true, if you dig a little deeper you’ll also find a charmingly quaint destination seemingly untouched by time. A place where farmers still tend their land, wine and cheese is made by hand, and the famous Gomera whistling language is still practiced. Join Peregrine on an island-hopping adventure through the ‘Fortunate Isles’ and discover a subtropical playground that has more than a few secrets to share.
