Lava Tubes

Jameos del Aqua is a natural lava tube that was modernized by artist Cesar Manrique, a tourist attraction by day and nightclub at night. There were bars, stairs and tables built right into the tubes.

The main bar near the entrance .


Looking through the first section of the lava tube Notice the sun shooting into it.

On the way back from the lava tubes we passed through wine country. The vines don't grow in rows, they grow tucked in behind half circular small walls. The walls help block the wind and collect water from the humidity. Two engineers can't help thing of how expensive it must be to cultivate the crops. But I couldn't help indulge in some local wine, yum!
