Spain is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, thanks to its rich tourism resources, deep historical heritage, and unique architecture. More than 1,000 km from mainland Spain, in the Atlantic Ocean, lies a famous "enclave" known as the Canary Islands (Islas Canarias). Like a pearl in the ocean, the Canary Islands are known as the "private garden of Europe's rich." The Canary Islands have a unique geographical location, with the vegetation and natural environment of North Africa, a mild climate, and the Mediterranean culture of Spain, creating an isolated and artistic island atmosphere. The famous writer Sanmao once lived here, where she met her tragic love story, and made more Chinese people yearn for this land. The Canary Islands are made up of seven beautiful islands, facing the Sahara Desert across the sea. The largest island is La Palma, which is like a real-life paradise, primitive and tranquil. Volcanoes, beaches, forests, and oceans blend perfectly to create an ultimate beauty. The small towns and villages by the sea are scattered, exuding a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere. La Palma has a great climate and natural scenery that is completely different from the European and African continents. The pure sky, dense forests, and spectacular volcanoes are all intoxicating. Stepping on this land, you feel as if you are one with the sea, forest, and island, and you don't feel like a tourist at all. The island has less than 100,000 residents, who live a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle. The houses are built on the hills, and the residents drink coffee in their spare time, enjoying a peaceful life. It makes people sigh that this is the "poetry and distance" that people dream of. The sky of La Palma is the most unique, known as the purest and clearest sky on earth. The unique geographical location, climate conditions, and strict control of light pollution make it possible to see a clear and beautiful starry sky at night, which is why it is designated as one of the world's few "starry sky tourist destinations." There is also a legendary astronomical telescope on the island, installed on a mountain at an altitude of 2,400 meters, through which you can clearly observe the night sky, and it is loved by astronomy enthusiasts and astrophotographers. Every summer, you can take pictures of the Milky Way, which is close and breathtaking. At sunset, the beach becomes the most popular place on the island. People swim, sunbathe, and listen to the wonderful music composed of the sea breeze, waves, and open-air bands, reaching a harmonious state of unity between man and nature. Visitors who love Sanmao will also come here to experience the indescribable beauty of the Canary Islands.

Sanmao, a person who lived her life as if the "poetry and the distance" in many people's hearts were the most ordinary days. She, who wandered all her life, chose to stay in a small seaside town on Gran Canaria, Spain: Telde. She lived here for many years, and many stories were written on this island. Today, there is still her former residence (p4) on the island. Another "beautiful island" in the Canary Islands, La Palma, is the last paradise on earth for Sanmao and Jose (p8, Sanmao's former residence Rocamar Apartment 306). Sunshine, beaches, and waves are all available on La Palma. The beautiful La Palma has a deeper feeling and bond for Chinese people because of Sanmao and Jose. Follow the footsteps of the female writer and embark on the "Sanmao Road" in Spain.

On the last day of our trip, we planned a long hiking route, determined to take one last vigorous walk. The route is 13 kilometers long, and if you discount the beginning and end, the middle section is almost a flat path laid out halfway up the mountain, then it descends to the beach, and finally enters a valley before climbing back up to the starting point, which is quite strenuous. This route is quite famous, not only because you can enjoy both sea and mountain views along the way, but also because the path is not too difficult, resulting in a higher number of visitors (compared to being completely deserted)! While playing on the beach, we didn't notice that the originally clear sky had stealthily filled with dark clouds, quietly pressing in from behind. We hurried on our way, but it was too late, and the raindrops pitter-pattered from sparse to dense, and in just about ten minutes, several mountain paths had turned into streams. Wearing soaked clothes and shivering from the cold, I comforted myself: This isn't rain, it's just heaven not wanting to let us go tomorrow, crying a storm! With that thought, I didn't feel so unlucky anymore. Overall, the scenery of the Canary Islands can be very beautiful, but there are also many places that are truly ugly! Banana houses covered with plastic tarps everywhere, haphazardly constructed buildings, and nearly bare mountain ranges... Staying for two or three months is fine, but any longer would feel confining and oppressive! After all, an island is an island, and once you've seen it all, there's nowhere else to go! Of course, we would still like to come again, to properly walk all the paths of the island, because, after all, its beauty is intoxicating!
