   From distant wanderings vozvratjas.
   Islands of eternal spring.
   So Canary Islands name. They belong to Spain.
Geographically concern Africa. Thanks to trade winds summer here not
Very hot, and winter - warm enough.
   Our plane has landed on Tenerife, largest of seven
Archipelago islands. Early morning. From the airport we go on the island south.
To the left of highway breath of Atlantic ocean, on the right is audible -
How much sees an eye - cones of volcanic mountains.
   Stone steps, breakages, deep gorges reach for ocean. At
Waters the coast abruptly breaks. Sometimes cut up lavovyj coast
Interrupts a small bay with black sand. Poor
Vegetation: cactuses yes lonely palm trees. On slopes of mountains here and there
Fields-terraces with banana plantations last. Depressing enough
Landscape. Really all island - extinct volcanoes?
   However has pleased hotel. A city in a city. The restaurants on any
Taste: Spanish, Italian, fish, bars, discos, pools,
Medical and sports-training services, tennis courts and
Platform for a golf, a car rent.
   But inquisitiveness drove us from hotel. The next day we
Have started to survey a nearby city of hotels Plajja-de-las-Amerikas,
Which surprised with the cleanliness, light tones of buildings, a cosiness
Buried in verdure small streets. Sometimes towers look out of these greens
chasoven and temples. There are magnificent private residences: facades from
The squared volcanic stone are decorated by the massive wooden
Portals and graceful carved balconies. Obvious mixture
Andaluzsko-Mauritian influence and the Canary style elements.
   The city was stretched on some kilometres, and everywhere -
Little shops, bars, cafe, artificial beach with delivered here
Sand. All for convenience of tourists. I have envied our acquaintances -
They are keen on surfing, and the best place for this kind of sports,
Than on this beach, hardly probable it is possible to find. We have met there and
Skin-divers. Those, leaving the sea, still for a long time discussed delights
The underwater world, being heated on the sun.
   It appears, not all so is gloomy, as it seemed to us in
Pre-dawn hours.
   We have made the most surprising travel in the national
Park. The further left on the north, the met greens more.
The island was as if is divided on two parts: the semidesertic hot south and
Picturesque subtropics of the north. Really island of contrasts.
   On a way have met a caravan of camels (it appears and so it is possible
To travel).
   Our travel on park has begun with valley Orotava on
The island northwest. On a site from coast to the high-mountainous
Areas all vegetative zones here are presented. Bungevilli -
"Christmas stars", growth about a tree - amaze with the
Colouring: from light brown to is dark-cherry,
The bright-red begonias, smelling sweet oleanders.
   Most well-known of the Canary plants - drakonovo a tree -
dratsena. It was considered at ancient inhabitants sacred, and it
Resinous juice used for embalming of corpses. A trunk
Tree does not form annual rings, that is why about age of the separate
Copies there are legends. To us have shown the thousand-year
Tree though botany assert, that to it only four centuries.
   But here the landscape began to vary: that here there meet
The removed tuff rocks-giants of the freakish form,
Vegetation becomes ever less, even cactuses have disappeared, only
Stones yes the fallen asleep languages of a lava - directly lunar landscape.
   On a rope-way we rise on a viewing platform of a volcano
Tejde - the main top of Spain, a symbol of Tenerife. What kind
Opens from here! On the one hand - a rocky file in a kind
Amphitheatre, with another - violence of paints of blossoming trees and
Bushes. And somewhere below - surprising beauty small town
La-Orotava. Small, cosy, with two churches of XVIII century.
   Kanartsy think much of everything, that is connected with history
The countries. Only here ancient Canary language is lost completely.
And everyday Spanish is state. Speak here on
andaluzskom a dialect. However, it is difficult to tell, what speech on
Streets you hear more often: Spanish, English, German or
The Portuguese.
   Annually archipelago visit 10 million tourists. Since
60th years of the last century tourism brings in the basic income
To the country.
   I do not know, what income from galeona, an exact copy of the corsair
The ship of XVIII century on which us have taken out to open ocean. But
Pleasures it has brought weight: it was possible to observe the presents
Whales to compete with sailing vessels, to feel
Pioneers of island.
   And in the evening on knightly tournament we have plunged into atmosphere of a century
XVII - with its romantic mutual relations between men and
Women.
   Kanartsy - the cheerful people. Even if there is no holiday, they
It will think up, and it is obligatory with processions, processions,
National struggle and, of course, with flamenko - this incendiary
Dance-performance, with a carnival in which there are no spectators, all -
Participants.
   So my trip on island has turned in fascinating and
Unexpected adventure.
