We booked the day before so we’re pleasantly surprised when e we were the only guests. Our guide took us on around the island and across the centre explaining how volcanoes had formed the geography of the island over time. The map she gave us showed the main sites and she identified a number of plants as we went around. A coffee stop and a chance to enjoy local bread was welcome. Visiting the lighthouse and volcano exhibition is fascinating - on a full day tour you can stay for the needed 90 minutes there. If we had had more time we would have gone back and seem this and climbed to the top of the volcano.
Our driver was very softly spoken so we found it difficult to hear her when we moving across rough roads such as cobbled areas. We did ask her to speak up but I’m sure we missed interesting information.
