ermine, the subtropical storm that crossed the Archipelago between September 24 and 26, has transformed the landscape of the Islands. Its most arid areas have disappeared as if by magic and where there used to be dry land, green is now the dominant colour.
It was already known that the land in the south of Tenerife is very grateful, but if on top of that the rainfall is generous, the result can be seen these days with an unusual landscape, dominated by flowering spurges and in which there is not an inch of land left no vegetation.
The southern region has mutated its skin and the long extensions of dry land, visible on both sides of the highway, offer a spectacular even green blanket that extends from the summit to the coast, in a picture that is not remembered as uniform for more than five years.
The cyclone formed in Cape Verde and run down in the Canary Islands, it generated abundant rains that fell serenely and without wind for almost three days, which allowed soaking the land without causing damage and partially replenishing aquifers, reservoirs and ponds to the joy of the men and women of the countryside , in the prelude to the great sowing of potatoes from the Canary Islands.
Waiting for the cold drop announced for this weekend, the southern land exhibits, after a prolonged drought, its friendliest face: a mantle full of life that delights the eye. The South has subscribed to the color of hope.
