Stormy weather in Lanzarote
We had some serious winds hitting Lanzarote yesterday – not much rain though, thanks goodness. My weather station only reported 0.5mm in the afternoon. I went down to Playa Chica in the Old Town of Puerto del Carmen because it´s the place where there are always the most impressive waves when we get those rare…
NO! To Oil in the Canary Islands
