A short description of a big country
Spain is not a very big country in which concerns its dimensions, but it is a grand one when it comes to tourism: millions and millions of people from all the corners of the world visit Spain year after year. How does the country manage to keep this high level? Well, the answer is simple: Spain is a very diverse country and since it has something to offer to any type of tourist, no one ever gets bored when visiting Spain. The landscapes will be the first to win your hearts, because they are all picturesque and they all offer panoramic views. Then you will be welcomed by the modern, cosmopolite cities that hide wonderful stores and impressive historical and architectural heritages. After you visit the big cities, turn your attention towards the charming villages, because they are the ones where the customs and the traditions of the country are still alive. After the villages come the high mountains and the shallow waters of the sea, the spread plains, the lush vegetation of the sub tropical islands and all the welcoming inhabitants who are always eager to meet new people. If you want to spend a memorable Spanish holiday, then you should know that every single corner of the country has a little bit to offer, but my recommendation would be Chipude.
Why Chipude?
Chipude was until about 200 years ago in the place of the largest town that La Gomera had. Now, tourists find it small, but cozy and with a special charm that makes them have a wonderful holiday. The Virgen Candelaria Church, dating back to the 16th century is the figure that dominates the main square of the town and also one of its most important attractions, so you have to visit it! Chipude is a mountain village, so prepare yourself with a lot of energy, because you will need it. All mountain villages are always full of energy; one of the proofs stays the annual fiesta that takes place on every 15th of August, fiesta that celebrates the patron saint of the village. You will be charmed with all the colors, the dancing, the food and the good music. Those who need accommodation, as well as a recommendation for a nice restaurant should take into consideration the Bar Pension Sonia: it has wonderful services. Enjoy Chipude! I am sure you will have a wonderful time!
