Watering The Bananas

This fantastic aerial view is of the Montaña de Taco in the Isla Baja area of the north coast of Tenerife, overlooking Buenavista.
"This 1,055-foot (322-m) volcanic dome appears to stand guard over the farming region of Buenavista. Its ancient crater has been converted into a reservoir to supply the banana plantations that cover the coastal plain of northwestern Tenerife. Banana plantations, which thrive on the fertile volcanic soil and subtropical climate, account for a third of the Canaries’ agricultural produce."
In the background to the right of pic is the island of La Palma (La Isla Bonita). Make a left between the two arms of the Teno mountain range you can see to the left of the shot and you'll end up in the Valle El Palmar and at my house. About 2-3 miles.
