The meters of elevation hiked in La Palma eventually pay off as aeroplane views of the clouds. The elevation profiles of innocent strolls become impressive, with easily a kilometer up and down. Luckily temperatures mercifully drop with elevation and make it somehow doable!
The famous star sky of La Palma - the islands is a hot spot for both hobby astronomers and huge science telescopes. This picture is taken at Refugio de los Roques - a open hut up high up at the mountain ridge.

Teide of Tenerife in sun rise. It's a lot of night down here: darkness falls before 7 pm and it's dark until seven in the morning. While hiking (or sailing) one needs to adjust the rythm of day and night to these hours. Something what with the help of the sun and no artificial light is surprisingly easy.
