Atlantic Islands, the Marella cruise route.

mela's Atlantic Islands is when you get to see the best of the Canary Islands and Portugal's madira you're going to have an absolute ball on these allinclusive ships let's take a look with the Disco 2 first off you fly into GR Canaria and join your ship so just inside the port there's the usual Hop On Hop off bus you can get a horse and carriage ride or there's the Tuk Tuk and it's got free Wi-Fi on board if you're looking for a beach close by the ship you can't get much closer just turn left off the ship and you'll find this beach across the park and in the square is where you get the number 12 bus to the Oldtown just up from the theater is the cathedral it was completed in the 18th century the front of the cathedral is in the main square of Plaza Santa Ana as you come into the cathedral and it changes from light to dark be careful of the ramp and the steps this is the Hermitage of San Anton Abad and the Columbus Museum although your ship doesn't leave till 11:00 many people will want to stay on board and relax having been traveling they'll enjoy the sunshine the ice cream the drinks and just lay back and enjoy the ship and there's a lot to enjoy the ship has seven bars seven restaurants two pools and there is that huge screen which at nighttime will play a movie while you get hot ch chot clip by the pool and the Canary Islands is the place to be stargazing behind me is the nearest beach to the ship we got the bus to PTO Del caran which is this gorgeous little Port it's very commercialized in some parts of it but some parts of it are absolutely charming and this is where having lunch this is a lovely little Cove perfect for families L Roti is diverse with its dramatic landscape there are many things to do PTO Del Carman is the main tourist area in nerti it has over 6 kilm of sandy beaches it's open all year round it's very easy to get here from the ship on a local bus but just remember to wear your suntan lotion because when the sun comes out it's scorching to get away from the heat your cabin is an ideal place to relax and just crack the temperature gauge down a little bit and have the air conditioning refresh your body but of course if you want the Heat you can stay on deck or you could visit a bar or one of the restaurants but remember this Cruise you have six great ports to visit and next is madira Portuguese Navigators found madira in 1420 this Street's really interesting it's called Santa Maria and there's art on most of the doorways lovely fishing Village camarad lobus is where Winston Churchill spent a lot of time painting well so this is the second highest Skywalk in the world after the one over the Grand Canyon and it is like stepping into the abys the story museum is under the ski lift as is the motorcycle Excursion and the lift takes you up to the Botanical Gardens and the sleigh ride going into the tropical gardens now a good tip is to do this before the tobogan ride the port guides are free on Doris visits I actually make them as research for my crime books and I'd love you to read cruise ship Heist which has the big ending here in Mad the two oriental Gardens are referred to as Chinese and Japanese culture and here's a wicker seat on top of a tray forming a tobogan there is actually only one seeday on this Cruise which is the chance to enjoy the ship and that was on the way to madira now it's Port Port Port back to Grand Canaria although some holidays you can choose to step off maybe in tenar reef and have a short break tenie or grand Canaria are possible options for a Ventura we've never filmed it is an incredible Sandy Beach Island and also a very special place to stargaze from sometimes and I know this is rare the captain has been known to turn the lights off at midnight and let you all look up at the stars hey be lucky but you are lucky for a whole week you're going to be dancing the night away laying in the sunshine and having the greatest holiday now tener I think there one place you want to jump a bus and go somewhere Santa Cruz in tenie you'll arrive either on the jetty or you'll dock by the city either way it's a walk along the blue line just as you did in laama to get you to the tourist information either dock side or on the other side of the lake in the Eco Hut you'll probably want to get a bus either to a beach or lagona or to Porter Dela Cruz the bus station is easy it's near the opera house like so many places they make it easy with an all day ticket and we're off to the beach first El medino where Jean going to do some kite surfing Okay I lied about the wind surfing but while we're near the bus Carriage how about the Rock Hall of Fame guess you've heard of it on the Rocks there are paintings of famous people and they're amazing it's becoming tenar Reef's new tourist attraction if you want to stay in Santa Cruz there's a hop on hofh bus or Adventure left from the port along the front half an hour by tram from Santa Cruz to Trinidad we're walking through l laga and we found Cay San Augustine which is the main street this beautiful 18th century house has been turned into an art museum every house has something special oh this is the death of Don Quick's photo this is an absolutely incredible street moving LA lagona and getting the 102 to Pua De La Cruz the botanical gardens are soon going to be three times the size we've arrived in pter De La Cruz the journey from Laguna was 30 minutes it's the black volcanic sand this is really interesting there's all these little piles of rock if you walk along the seaw wall be prepared to get wet if you have

Palma just follow the blue line and it'll take you straight to the City Center Santa Cruz was founded in 1493 and was always closely associated with wine which made it a great place for pirates to come and loot and pillage in 1553 the French pirate lar came here he was also known as Peg leg this is the town hall which was originally destroyed by French Pirates and was reconstructed in 1949 lapalma is an area of mountains volcanic beaches forests there's a tiny rainforest and breathtaking views wow there's a fabulous view of the whole of Santa Cruz from here the Naval Museum can be found underneath the shed entrances € 450 and there's a small exhibition inside interestingly it's made out of of concrete and painted to look like wood I feel very confident that you're going to enjoy the
