Roque de las Bodegas VI, Isla de Tenerife, Spain
Sixth shot from Roque de las Bodegas - a beach and hamlet located in the area of Taganana, taking its name from the rock formation seen here which stretches into the Atlantic. The small settlement consists primarily of restaurants and small shops these days, and is located right at the foot of the near-vertical cliffs of the Anaga mountain range on Tenerife's north coast.
The site is said to have been of great importance to the Taganana area since the 16th century, by virtue of the presence of a small jetty running alongside the rocks which enabled the trading of wine with Europe and America. Barrels loaded with Canarian wine are said to have been loaded to trade ships via a cableway installed by locals with the name of the rock and settlement translating literally to 'Rocks of the Wineries'.
