My wife and I were looking to get the most out of our single day port-of-call on the island of La Palma. We chose to take our chances on a private taxi tour strangely named the "Downtown Route" We still don't know what that name implies, but it turned out to be an outstanding tour of this Canary Island. Our driver did not speak very good English, but that was fine. He was able to explain just enough so we understood where he was taking us and he took us to some fabulous places. We visited beautiful beaches in some isolated spots, we visited a lovely National Park high in the mountains, we stopped at great overlooks but , to us, the highlight of the tour was our visit to an almost brand-new (two years old) volcano.We were unhurried wherever the tour took us. In short, this turned out to be an outstanding way to get the most out of our relatively short time on this beautiful island. We highly recommend the "Downtown Route."
