Day 4 of the cruise - Santa Cruz de la Palma, Spain Saturday Aug 6, 2022

 This was a lovely town with the typical Canary Island architecture. There are beautiful black sand beaches with water that my wife said was warm. I was not prepared to go in the water, but looking back I wish I did and spent more time on the beach.

 In the town the streets were very narrow, and filled with cafes. The unique thing was after a flood and a couple of meters of mud deposited in the area, artists decided to paint the doors, all with different themes based on the style and outlook of each artist. This made it very fun to walk.

 Along the promenade by the beach the mixed use buildings, with a restaurant or store below and apartments above, had beautiful balconies with flowers and plants for all those who walked by to enjoy.
