The ferry cuts through the deep blue Atlantic, leaving a frothy white wake that stretches toward the horizon. Passengers relax on the open deck, shaded by white canopies, as another Canary Island emerges in the distance.
December afternoon sunlight bathes the scene in warm golden tones. The Spanish flag flutters from the mast, marking this inter-island connection that has linked these volcanic islands for generations.
