A Congradulations Speech

VISIT TO CONTINUE IN THE CANARY ISLANDS LANZAROTE HOLIDAYS IN CANARY
















On leaving the plane took Portugal a straight line to the Canaries in the Atlantic, without touching the African coast. In the open sea
visibility was nil, since the height of the reactors required is greater than the nimbus cumulus layer covering the entire sea, giving the impression to navigate on a layer of foam, which is passed only when the plane descends to take land.
After three hours and fifteen minutes we landed at the airport in Tenerife , Princesa Sofia situated in the south of the island, which is bigger and better placed than the Rodeos in the North.
After dinner and rest the next morning we attended the lecture and made concrete guidance to make excursions. Discard the Teide

Friday Day 4 Visit the capital of the island is Santa Cruz de Tenerife , a city that took a lot of importance as the commercial port of the island's best and very strategic en route to America.


















is a monument in memory of the fallen includes everyone without exception . We also saw the monument to the defenders of the port which set back the brave Admiral Nelson, whose battle lost an arm of a cannon.

A son commented that English had reproached him they always distorted the history in their favor, as in the monument in Trafalgar Square, London, Nelson appeared with both arms still lie, since he lost in Tenerife could not stand in this monument to be before the battle of Trafalgar.














We also liked the size of a monumental bronze face, whose eyes look at you from any angle.
As a large garden ornament are close together three arches, very successful, where we took some pictures,














Several churches have
good altarpieces and the Immaculate Virgin always represented with a large silver crescent at her feet. look also a small but beautiful contrast with the dark windows of the churches not generally have a defined style.















saw a planting and wine grape Malvasia which is the same plant that is grown here, with whom he developed a very sweet wine palatable.
strains to preserve the wind, surrounded with a stone semicircles.
















Day 5 Saturday hiked the nature reserve Masca. Its main population is Garachico of 2500 inhabitants, which are a mixture of different peoples who passed through this wilderness area endowed with luxuriant vegetation.






























The roads are broken and so narrow that if you are a bus and a car, it has to get into the gutter and pass the rock millimeter.
Some young people from around here, rented car, but the first grip of these withdrew. The run on these roads is not a matter of skill but being accustomed to them.
To make the cavity of the volcanoes have become repositories of fresh water through pipes that have been there to collect the small springs that emerge from their steep slopes. Again
small deposits called silos where they keep the few grains that produce a small scale. Bananas defend the winds paredejas holes. Sugarcane

We were struck by several plots that are devoted to the prickly pears. More
not only benefit from its fruits but also very patient, collect a very small animal that parasitizes the plant called "cochineal." Formerly

As a natural dye is not usually used only in lipstick and high-quality cosmetics. With the invention of synthetic glitter, cheaper, has declined this dye.
There are some houses which we call as rural, which the council authorizes the islands for one season, to give shelter to tourists who cherish the food made with products that they grow.















also saw a giant cliffs so high and vertical when the action of the sea is eroding the amount of material that leaked into the sea, which produces Tsunami as being noted throughout the archipelago.

Monday day 7 had a full day excursion to walk round the island by boat. Seeing dolphins lurking in these waters and make the typical rite of montaren camel.
conditioning traveled on a ship off the coast until you reach an area that, from time to time, there are groups of dolphins and a small whales.














sighting
When the captain gave the group a voice and we all wanted to take pictures but few succeed, because these animals were not visible, but when they leave a moment to breathe is tenuous and difficult to capture with the camera.
ate in a restaurant as a tourist attraction that has a herd of camels prepared with equipment for two people. First
make them lie down and once-off passengers in the two outboard seats secured in order to give up, when more wobble, as the camel gets up first in the hind legs and look like you will pull out of his ears. But I have carefully calculated and once up the camel has a very rhythmic gait and swinging those who do not set up an animal never go bomb, not without a little scare.
To increase the fun of the way, if you want to put a robe and a turban to look like a desert nomad.



















In all these islands are killing the head by inventing something new to attract much tourism that visits.
