April Snow in Tenerife
Spring sprung nicely towards the end of March here, however, last week - just in time for the Easter Public Holidays - here in the valley, we "enjoyed" a good 36 hours of torrential rains again, whilst the temperature dropped to a "chilly" 13 degrees centigrade again from those in the 20's a few days before.
Today, a wind has been blowing that was almost strong enough to turn a cat's fur coat inside out and there was definitely a real nip in that air, despite the sun. It is strange, but whilst we can't actually see Mount Teide from inside the valley - because of the height of the valley walls - one can certainly feel when there is snow up there.
And there is, shown by this photo, which was taken on April 15th.
The photo is actually one of this Tenerife Set, which includes many emblematic photos of the island; Santiago Calatrava's Auditorio in Santa Cruz, photos in the capital itself and many of the countryside around La Laguna, which are well worth viewing.
