El Hiero, the western most Island of the Canary archipelago. At one time this was considered the western most edge of the known world. Well I am out there! Lucia and I rented a friend of a friend's house in a tiny little town up on the Islands mountainside. It was breathtaking. Vineyards, pine forests, natural swimming holes on the water's edge, even a sacred tree from the Islands, aboriginal past. A some times fraught, (oh oh we are spending too much time together or os this loooove); but otherwise idyllic retreat from the hustle and bustle of Madrid, not to mention the boat and Santa Cruz.
