Field notes
Easternmost of the Canary Islands — visually distinct from the rest of the chain because of César Manrique's island-wide architectural intervention (every building white with green-or-blue trim; no high-rises). Arrecife (the capital), Costa Teguise, and Playa Blanca are the typical nomad neighborhoods. Same Spanish DNV. The structural draws are the genuinely-unique architecture-and-landscape combination, Timanfaya National Park, and the driest Canary climate.
