Hasn't voted | Thanks Mark! It was in fact one of Brian's pages that reminded me of the two I had hidden in my closet. I think one of the reasons these areas are so dry is that the volcanic gravel just sucks up any moisture. On Tenrife in addition the clouds usually don't get that far up.
And yes, you can swim on the island - but in two weeks I didn't get to do it! Too much else to do.
The interesting fact, however, is that you can climb all 3718m to Teide's summit, from sea level on. Would be a nice endurance test..... |
