Tenerife agriculture by the awesome cliffs
Vegetables, fruit and produce come from Buenavista del Norte or from the Valle de Arriba by Santiago del Teide. Not really any industry by Los Gigantes, except for a small production of nursery seedlings... Fishing is on a small scale
Weather by the Teno gigantic cliffs
Some say that the coastal region by the giant cliffs has the best climate of the biggest Canary Island, while more research my be looked up here.My friend Cesar affirms that there is more sun but also more wind than in the north and less heat than in the South. However, perhaps August 2014 by 3.30 was extreme. Then, our dog hardly managed to walk on the hot pavement in Los Gigantes.
