La Isla Bonita, photo story of a weekend getaway to La Palma

As a kid I always thought Madonna had dedicated her song to the Canarian island of La Palma. That’s how we call it over here. Later on I learnt that I was wrong, as Madonna had absolutely no clue where La Isla Bonita was or even if the place called San Pedro even existed. She just made it up when she wrote the song or probably read it somewhere on her way to the recording studio. Classic pop music story. Anyway, I’d rather stick to my version of the story, which is a little island off the coast of Africa that remains an oasis of peace and silence. A treasure full of traditions and wild sceneries.
