I've booked into the marina here at Las Galletas for 4 nights. Bad weather is expected on Thursday, maybe very bad but fortunately I am very close to Los Christianos where I expect to find a surfeit of Irish bars to while away the hours while Nomad gets a thorough washing. 'Red Mountain' which I passed along the way. It is right next to Tenerife South airport. Friday 14th. The clouds have finally lifted and I get my first view of Mount Teide 3718m, a volcano, it's the highest peak in Spain and nearly three times higher than Ben Nevis. It doesn't look much from here but I suppose that's because it's nearly twenty miles away.
