La Palma #7: Roadtrip to Santo Domingo and Puntagorda [EN/GER]

in #travel5 years ago

Day7_1.jpg
Let’s do a roadtrip north to Santo Domingo!

Our first stop for today is the Mirador de Santo Domingo.
Starting in Todoque, we need more than 1 h of time reaching that village – when you look at the winding road along the coast, this is no wonder.
But actually, the view at Santo Domingo is beautiful.

This rock sticks 73 meters out of the sea and looks very impressive.

A few meters next to that rock, you can see the Roque de Santo Domingo

This one is only 28 meters high. However, the waves are just as much raging around the rocks.

After we have shot these beautiful photos, we drive to the village Puntogorda, today is Saturday and there is a market.
The market hall is not quite as romantic as we imagined – there is a lot going on!

We suspect that there are a lot of locals who buy their weekly foods here.

We buy a lot at the market: fresh avocados and bananas, delicious pastries and of course Mojo Rojo and Verde.

Wait a minute – Is this really a Black Forest cake, the hallmark of our home region? At La Palma? WTF?
Day7_13.jpg

Well, actually, it is.: A Black Forest cake at the Canary Islands. The influence of German emigrants on La Palma is so huge! Incredible! (Of course, we did not buy that but tried a local specialty).
We enjoy the purchased treats and then head back to Todoque.

Roadtrip nach Santo Domingo und Puntagorda
Day7_1.jpg
Los geht’s mit den Roadtrip Richtung Norden!

Day7_2.jpg

Day7_3.jpgAuf der Straße Richtung Norden mit Ausblick auf den Caldeira de Taburiente

Unser erstes Ziel für heute ist der Mirador de Santo Domingo.
Von Todoque aus brauchen wir dafür über 1 h Zeit – bei diesen Serpentinen an der Küste entlang ist das aber kein Wunder.
Die Aussicht bei Santo Domingo ist aber wunderschön.

Day7_4.jpgRoque de las Taibadas

Dieser Fels ragt 73 Meter aus dem Meer hinaus und sieht sehr beeindruckend aus.
Day7_5.jpg

Wenige Meter weiter befindet sich der Roque de Santo Domingo

Dieser ist nur 28 Meter hoch. Die Wellen toben jedoch genauso stark um die Felsen.
Day7_8.jpgDie gewaltige Kraft des Wassers

Nachdem wir diese schönen Bilder geschossen haben, fahren wir in das Örtchen Puntagorda, heute ist Samstag und Markt.
Die Markthalle ist nicht ganz so romantisch, wie wir uns vorgestellt haben – es ist die Hölle los!
Day7_9.jpg

Wir haben das Gefühl, dass vor allem viele Einheimische dort sind.

Wir decken uns hier mit Gemüse und Gebäck ein. Frische Avocados und Bananen, leckeres Gebäck und natürlich Mojo Rojo und Verde.

Day7_12.jpgFrisch gepresster Zuckerrohrsirup

Moment mal – sehen wir hier tatsächlich Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, das Markenzeichen unserer Heimatregion schlechthin? Auf La Palma?
Day7_13.jpg

Tja, tatsächlich: Eine Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in ihrer vollen Pracht auf der Kanarischen Insel. Soviel zum Einfluss der Deutschen Auswanderer auf La Palma. Unglaublich! (Wir haben die natürlich nicht gekauft, sondern eine lokale Spezialität probiert).
Wir genießen die gekauften Leckereien vor Ort und machen uns dann auf den Rückweg nach Todoque.
