Summary: The island is wonderful. Beyond the pre-designed tourist circuits, getting lost on the roads was the best thing. I'd come back.

Summary: Beautiful landscape, perfect to enjoy nature with the family, we had an incredible time! Mega recommended, very friendly people, reasonable prices. There are many to explore, islands, churches, traditional fairs. Bring a water-resistant parka and spare shoes. The only bad thing is the state of the road to Castro, it has several "events" that are difficult to avoid in the rain. What I couldn't find were pool diapers, so bring them from your destinations =, for the rest I could say that there is everything! I would return a thousand times.
