Foggy morning in the Orotava Valley<br> Views and Vistas in The Canary Islands picture - The lush, green Orotava Valley is located in the north of the island of Tenerife, a natural amphitheatre that captures the moisture from the prevailing trade winds. The valley is the site of banana plantations and vineyards. Every spare spot of land is terraced. These are fed by water from the mountains through a complex network of tanks and channels. The channels run along the tops of walls. The channels are blocked to divert water into minor channels to irrigate the fields. The Orotava and Güímar valleys were formed as large pieces of the island were removed by landslides.
