It is close to Las Penitas dam. Last time I was there, the reservoir was completely dry though, craacked dry mud surface and everything.<br /><br />If you mean the entries in this blog, they are all done by me :) Tamara Kulikovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008651088408982055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37144023.post-20777759915490969032013-10-26T07:00:22.942+01:002013-10-26T07:00:22.942+01:00Not sure if the authors are different or all the e...Not sure if the authors are different or all the entries are done by the same. There is also this one mountain, I remember, where the bus drivers take you because when you look at it from a more aerial vista, it reminds you of a woman's breast with the top layer of rock forming, well, a nipple. Not far from there is the one steep valley where there is a dam to catch whatever rain fall for the tomato crops. And man, talking about tomatoes. They brought the best prices at European markets when they came from Fuerteventura. There was a distinction between them and the regular Canaria tomatoes.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297299247182934861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37144023.post-90838554070460757972013-10-26T06:48:07.972+01:002013-10-26T06:48:07.972+01:00We used to have a place in Santa Barbara, just up ...We used to have a place in Santa Barbara, just up the hill, west of Morro Jable. Therefore we came numerous times to Fuerteventura. Knew some people there too. There are a lot of interesting even so infamous stories about Winter, Cofete, and Nazi Germany. There's something like a man made structure jutting out from the beach into the water, like so many other natural rock structures just below the castle. Legend has it that that's where the submarines came in for layover. The basement in the villa has rooms with bunk beds which would have been typical for the very same reason. Winter just happened to end up having it because the Nazi government used him as a straw man for buying Jandia for the German war efforts.<br />I remember when my mom, friends from Holland and I met with some people that had the say and lodged n apartments which were part of Casa Atlantica. When our Dutch friend mentioned the word liberation, one of them became defensive and said "liberation from what?" Further up the road there is a hotel of which I do not remember the name anymore. It's about 15 minutes maybe towards Tarralejo. The hotel sits up on a steep hill. The beach on the bottom is very wide and flat. Supposedly it was used as an air strip for Nazis to get out of Germany via Fuerteventura and on to South America.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297299247182934861noreply@blogger.com
