The attractive places in the wide, green valleys make the north of the island the ideal location for a relaxing hiking holiday. Luscious banana plantations and an excellent climate set the tone of this region.
Steep rock-faces covered in greenery border the beautiful valleys of the north.
The northern communities were once the economical and cultural centre of the island. Old townhouses, a former convent and charming churches bear witness to the north’s affluent era.
