Passing through Tenerife South airport. Glad I am on my way to somewhere else, though. Airport is much too busy for an island. Tells you enough about the high volume of visitors.
Millions upon millions of sun-deprived northern Europeans descend on Canary Islands annually for the sun and beaches. Here is a tour op's personnel waiting for another plane to land bringing more (northern) tourists.
Below the rows of palm trees one sees (probably) hundreds of coaches from holiday resorts parked outside the airport's entrance. The coaches are not really visible on purpose.
Glad to be going to somewhere else! Tenerife is the most developed, busy and full of packaged tourists.
Very dark now. Waiting to for clearance to take off.
It's a short flight (30-40minutes, methinks). Only have energy and time for beer when we get to our lodging.
Tenerifean beer. Available on all Canary islands.
From Madrid but owned by Heineken
From 1 of the 2 craft beer breweries on La Palma. "La Isla Verde" is the name of this brewery, but La Palma is also known as La Isla Verde (another one is La Isla Bonita, nothing to do with that Madonna song).
The amazing Canary Islands!
Physical map of La Palma. It's the most seismically active in the archipelago.
