ikbenik Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 After my visit for real to some islands of the Canarias, I prefer La Palma for it's variety in nature and the lush green areas. Also a joy to fly virtual now and recognise the landscape in hifi. I made the tour in a Beech Baron and airborned of coarse from it's airport GCLA, enjoy the views: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Nice set ikbenik. Take the last 2 shots. There are several areas of squares & rectangles in a flat white. I have been trying to figure out what they are. Could they be horticultural plots with shade coving? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTM Hi, They are, some very large, covered banana-plantages. We call it 'serres' meaning breading-cases to keep as much as warm and mosty climat intern. I have driven through endless such serres and it seems as white rectancles from above because they are mostly fabricated in white colored plastics. So, definitively not a fault in the scenery but representing the real and actual situation on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Bananas? Makes sense, warm enough. Local consumption or export? & due to isolated location I imagine the more horticulture they have the less has to be flown in?? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer374 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Canarian bananas are smaller than others from the rest of the world. They also taste a little different. In the EU they are marketed by the spanish name "plátanos". However, the larger bananas from Central America and Africa are cheaper. So banana production on the Canary Islands (which uses up much of the sparse water reserves) is no longer profitable and mainly sustained by EU subventions.
