Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Hotel Hacienda de Abajo, La Palma
This 'Emblematic Hotel' is an idyllic, secluded retreat with a boutique air, five-star services, situated a short distance from many pretty towns on La Palma. Accepting only guests above the age of 16, the Hacienda de Abajo is perfect for couples looking to spend a week relaxing in the sun, beside the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Historic charm is mingled with the tranquillity of the rural, seafront location in this exclusive Spanish hotel, in a style that is typical of the Canary Islands. Emerging from the 'sea of bananas' that is such an integral part of this plantation's history, the red and pink walls of the Hacienda de Abajo are a combination of striking and traditional. Classified as the Canary Islands' first 'Emblematic Hotel,' this tropical haven is an integral part of Canarian history. The Hacienda's several buildings include a Main House decorated with Arabic tiles and open balconies, a peaceful inner garden, two newly built houses, and an oratory which echoes the style of the old estate's chapel. Rich art adorning the public rooms and bedrooms is a valuable addition to La Palma's wider cultural heritage. Each room is individually decorated with opulent ornaments, historic beds in the Premium Individual rooms, and majestic furnishings. The cuisine of El Sitio Restaurant pays homage to the ancient farming traditions that helped the plantation flourish, and serves an innovative blend of international and Canarian dishes. The setting takes diners back to the building's origins, with a vaulted, beamed roof, hanging chandeliers, and large, historic artworks. Enjoy the breakfast buffet or an afternoon drink on the romantic terrace of El Sitio Bar, before reclining on a lounger amidst tropical plants beside the swimming pool. For those looking for something even more indulgent, the Bath House Spa offers a range of treatments. A slow amble through the fields will bring you down to the water and the quaint Puerto de Tazacorte. The water's edge is lined with a black sand beach, and the colourful houses of Tazacorte rise up from the promenade. Spend your days either enjoying the excellent facilities and service at the hotel, or venture out into La Palma's magnificent landscape, exploring tropical forests, steaming volcanic craters, and locating the charming lighthouses that line the rocky shore.

About Canary Islands
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the Canary Islands includes a selection of four and five star beach resorts which cater for families and couples alike. The Canary Islands can be found sitting off the western coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. Warmed by year-round sunshine, the Canaries feature otherworldly landscapes of volcanic craters, lava deserts and cute coves with black-sand beaches. Meanwhile, steep hillsides and terraced farmland gives way to peaceful fishing villages and characterful old towns. In the west of the archipelago are the mountainous islands of Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera. Expect black-sand beaches and buzzing resorts along Tenerife's coastline whilst the interior is dominated by the dormant Mount Teide volcano. Meanwhile the three smaller islands remain relatively unspoiled, with landscapes including terraced hillsides, craggy cliffs and subtropical rainforests. The eastern isles consist of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, each with a unique atmosphere and plenty of attractions. Gran Canaria is home to sprawling resorts as well as stunning scenery with forests, mountains and sand dunes; Fuerteventura is an arid and sparsely populated island with a desert-like landscape and long stretches of white sand beaches; while Lanzarote is a rugged island where lava flows have solidified to create a lunar landscape which contrasts with sandy beaches and green valleys. Due to their location in the Atlantic Ocean just 60 miles away from the coast of Morocco, the Canary Islands' cultures fuse African, Latin American and European influences, creating a unique identity which is quite different to that of the Iberian Peninsula. Contrary to popular belief, there is no want for authenticity here....

Gastronomy of the Canary Islands
Due to the geographical location, gastronomy in the Canary Islands incorporates elements of Spanish, African and Latin American cuisine. A staple of Canarian cuisine is fish, which may be grilled, baked, salted or dried in the sun, along with shellfish which is also abundant. Bananas and tropical fruits are all grown across the islands, whilst rum, Malvasía wine and goat's cheeses are also produced. Key ingredients include ‘Gofio’ (cornmeal which is used in bread and stews), ‘Mojo’ (a sauce which contains either coriander or chili peppers and is frequently served with fish and meat) and ‘Papas arrugadas’ (a kind of jacket potato which is cooked in salt water). Typical dishes include ‘Sancocho’ (boiled fish served with potatoes), ‘Puchero canario’ (a hearty stew made with meat and vegetables) and ‘Bienmesabe’ (an almond cream dessert).

Climate of the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands' year-round sunshine, clear skies and spring-like temperatures make them a suitable holiday destination for all seasons. Winters are mild with average temperatures of around 17 degrees, whilst summers are warm with temperatures of around 24 degrees. Most of the islands are cooler and wetter in the northeast thanks to the trade winds which prevent the temperatures from getting too hot in the summer.
