ROMAN FOUNTAIN 1
Bernardo next took us to the Hotel Catherine (most senior of the hotels in the
Canaries) which is now a casino with lovely gardens on its grounds. We saw several
examples of the native tree, the drago, which looks like a cross between a cactus and
a Joshua tree. Next to the Hotel is a little reproduction of a typical Canary Island
village with tiny shops, a church façade, restaurants, and taverns. It was picturesque
and pretty too.
