About this ebook
Most visitors treat the Canary Islands as a single winter sun destination. This audiobook is for the ones who want the rest of it. Seven islands share a common volcanic origin, and each one wears it completely differently — Tenerife's Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, hosting one of the world's most significant astronomical observatories at its summit; Lanzarote's still-warm eighteenth-century lava fields reshaped further by artist César Manrique, who built an entire island's architecture around the philosophy that nothing should rise higher than a palm tree; La Palma's protected dark skies, among the clearest in the Northern Hemisphere; and La Gomera, where residents still communicate across dramatic ravines using Silbo Gomero, a whistled language found nowhere else on Earth. Walk through Gran Canaria's Saharan-style dunes, swim in El Hierro's volcanic rock pools on the island that emerged, in part, within living memory, and taste papas arrugadas, mojo, and gofio, a grain tradition that predates Spanish colonization entirely.
Told in immersive second person, this is a listen made to feel like you're actually there — walking, tasting, and living these islands the way their own residents do, considerably deeper than any single resort beach.
