Tenerife's Mount Teide Has A Double
However, as this report in El Dia newspaper says, it did not happen as a result of cloning, unexpected eruptions, cinematic images, nor is it the fruit of new technologies.
It is the latest scale model to be unveiled at Pueblo Chico, the model village attraction in the Orotava Valley in the north of Tenerife, which already has meticulously crafted scale models of many of Tenerife's buildings.
It took hundreds of thousands of years and various volcanic eruptions to form the real thing. It took ten workers 63 days, 800 meters of mesh and 87,500 kilos of cement to build the 4.5 meter high exact replica - they consulted experts from the National Park and carried out a meticulous geographical study - reproducing the world's third-largest volcano in miniature. And in the "son of", you can also see its "entrails". Not burning fire: it contains an exhibition.
