Just imagine: you’re reclining on the flower-dotted patio next to the pool, surrounded by palm trees, yuccas, hibiscus and pink bougainvillea. A tennis court is behind you, and in front of you a unique landscape stretches from the sleepy town of Sóo to the sea. It’s a picturesque collage of fields and desert in a profusion of red and ocher, with extinct volcanoes looming in the distance. Over the hours and days, it constantly transforms itself in the changing light.
The sea beckons: ever-present, foamy, blue and turquoise-green. To your left, the white beach of Famara; to the right, the black sands of La Santa. Sóo itself is a rural community well-known for its delicious dry-grown melons, onions, tomatoes and yams. The area is also famous all over the island for its handmade goat’s milk cheese, a true delight for connoisseurs.
