Canary Islands-Last Day in Grand Canaria


On the way back from one of our excursions, we had chanced upon a cactus refuge boasting Europe's largest collection of cacti... unfortunately closed on our initial pass, it was a bit too enticing not to check out more thoroughly...so back we went..

and a very impressive assortment of cacti, many in bloom. My excuse for the plethora of pictures I took of them..

back out of cactus land, last stop local beach off the beaten track. Tenerife's volcano in the distance..



after which we enjoyed a typical canarian meal of papas arrugadas or "wrinkled potatoes" with mojo sauce, roasted peppers, and assorted tapas. Yum Yum!
