🎬 GARAJONAY GREEN
The legend goes that princess Gara from La Gomera (part of the Canary Islands, Spain) was in love with a poor peasant’s son from Tenerife named Jonay. Because of the disapproval of Gara’s family to this relationship, the couple went into hiding in the woods of these misty highlands. If you look carefully this soothing place is filled with their hidden faces and embraces. what a Tim Burton-esque setting. The lovers got united in the name of the forest: Garajonay.
