I'm off for a week shortly, any personal recommendations

Hi paulo, if you haven't booked a hotel yet, stop at The Riu Palace it is superb, worth going on the trip up to the volcano region, it is a good place to just relax, I didn't like the market much but others love it.have great time, Ray

Cheers Ray but just a cheap package deal to Mata Gorda this time I'm afraid, which market to avoid and why?

[raysparx1]

Hi paulo, the market is called teguise (spelling) a lot of people liked it there but I found em a right miserable lot of gits on the stalls, it is held every sunday morning, but the camel rides up near there are brilliant and as I said the trips to the volcanic region is worth doing, have a great time weather should be real nice out there at the moment, we went in september, big mistake, it was so bloody hot, take care, Ray

A week is long enough although everyone else I know loves it. the caves are well worth a visit, but avoid the coach tours if possible. There's not really enough to see on the trips in the time allocated so they drive you round the island. You soon realise that you've just passed the same village twice before. Mata Gorda is nice and quiet even though it's near the airport you don't seem to get much noise. the whole island is very clean but certainly not cheap. the weather should be lovely hope you enjoy.

If you are a golfer then playing at this course is a real experience. Dont let the lush green website pics fool you though, the island is volcanic and if you miss the fairaway its like you are playing on the moon!
