Beautiful bus shelter murals on La Palma, tell you about the island

 

This bus stop shelter has the typical local orange tiles. So jolly. I love the colours. Curved tiles.

Lots of blue, like the sky and sea when the sun is up at mid-day, most of the year. 2026 was apparently unusual, with more rain until June. Abundant greenery on the lower slopes. Then tall pines. Finally shrubs, which are bushes less then 6 feet tall, then barren rock at the top. 

You can see a pedestrian path on the right with steps and a handrail. It is turning sharply, like the roads going up and downhill.

Blue is the Moroccan and Middle Eastern colour for protecting you, presumably from the devil. 

More practically, walls on three sides of this bus shelter protect you from the strong trade winds, which can blow you backwards when you try to climb up some of the mountain paths when hiking from a hilltop down to the lighthouse.

No advertisements, unlike bus shelters in London England, which don't even have benches nor seats, just ledges. Supposedly to stop people sleeping on the seats.

If people are sleeping on seats. There is a need for beds or shelters.

I like the welcoming, entertaining, artistic murals.
