Spain opens route in honor of writer

MADRID - A new tourist route on a Spanish-administered archipelago off the west coast of Morocco in the Atlantic Ocean will soon be opened for Chinese travelers in commemoration of the late writer Sanmao, according to local tourism authorities.

The route, located on the Canary Islands and available from March, is dedicated to Sanmao, a female writer from Taiwan who lived there during the latter half of the 20th century.

The announcement was made recently by Alicia Vanoostende, tourism adviser to La Palma, one of the seven main islands of the archipelago.
