Join us for Episode 6 of our Marella Explorer Canarian Flavours cruise series as we explore the stunning island of La Palma! ๐ŸŒŠโœจ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Missed Breakfast, But Ready for Lunch! We kicked things off with a visit to The Market Place Buffet, offering a wide variety of delicious options to satisfy any craving. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Hiking to Mirador de la Concepciรณn After lunch, we embarked on an uphill adventure to the breathtaking Mirador de la Concepciรณn. Perched 350 metres above sea level, this viewpoint offers panoramic views of Santa Cruz de La Palma, the lush landscapes, and the sparkling Atlantic. It was a bit of a climb, but totally worth it! ๐Ÿž๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Surprising Wall Art with Monkeys and Elephants! On the way, we stumbled across an incredible mural featuring monkeys (how fitting!) and elephants โ€” a fun and unexpected discovery. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Beachfront Pints & Relaxation After our hike, we treated ourselves to a refreshing pint by the beach. Thereโ€™s nothing better than enjoying a cool drink with a view! ๐Ÿบ๐ŸŒŠ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Obligatory Selfie at Santa Cruz de La Palma Sign We couldnโ€™t resist snapping a selfie at the colourful Santa Cruz de La Palma sign before heading back to the ship. ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Mediterranean Delights on Deck 11 Dinner took us to The Mediterranean on Deck 11, where we enjoyed an array of sweet and savoury snacks, paella, and our favourite pizza and pasta station. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ‘‰ Sunset Views on the Mediterranean Terrace We soaked in the stunning sunset views from the Mediterranean Terrace โ€” the perfect end to a lovely day. ๐ŸŒ… ๐Ÿ‘‰ Thermal Garden & Spa Time After our hike, a visit to the Thermal Garden was a must! Foot spas, saunas, and a cosy spot to watch the sail away โ€” absolute bliss. ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Surf & Turf Dinner Treat For a special evening, we dined at Surf and Turf on Deck 7. For ยฃ36.95 per person, we indulged in premium steaks, fresh seafood, and delicious sides. Oh, and donโ€™t miss out on the tiramisu martinis โ€” totally worth the supplement! ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿธ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Broadway Show Lounge & Silent Disco Fun! We ended the night with a West End-style production at the Broadway Show Lounge (decks 6 & 7), followed by a blast at the silent disco in Indigo. Switching between music channels and dancing the night away โ€” what a way to finish the evening! ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ’ƒ ๐ŸŽฅ Watch the Full Series: Catch up on all our Marella Explorer Canarian Flavours episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlyIX6uGK99QxaExQnUc08yF7ICq10xv_ Miss the last episode and the visit to Funchal?
