Canary Islands, Part I

Or rather one Canary Island, Tenerife. From the air, Tenerife resembles what might have happened if houses were built higher up on its volcanoes, then slid down the cracks in their sides to pool on flatter ground by the sea or sometimes on slight plateaus on their side. Coming into the south, the volcano El Teide dominates the island - or maybe it would from any direction, given that it is by far the biggest.

To be continued............... we are off to climb El Teide!
