Flying on the Canaries - Tenerife
Paragliding enthusiasts and, indeed, visitors of all persuasions, will enjoy this report on a flying visit to Tenerife.
They have this to say about the northwest cliffs at Teno Alto, "Although the terrain near the high mountain village of Teno Alto on the northwestern tip of the island is somewhat out of the way, it is that much more worthwhile seeing, and that even if it didn't happen to be possible to take off. The beautiful grassy meadow at an altitude of 720 meters above sea level, just asking to be camped on, including the perfect stone fire pit, terminates in a sharp cliff edge. The view from the edge down to the ocean is enthralling and the crash of the breaking waves is heard all the way at the top." It is spectacular.
However, visitors who wander off the beaten track and into banana plantations should heed the warnings of their experience with an unripe banana, which they found shares a number of properties in common with Czech glue, Kanagom. :)
The whole report Flying on the Canaries - Tenerife is a delightful read, because it contains many keen, seemingly small, but very accurate observations. There are also numerous photos and, like many things written by non-native English speakers, is written so much better than those of us lazy sobs who are native speakers would be inclined to do.
