The aftermath of the heavy downpour on Lanzarote

From the top of Montaña Tinaguache, the volcano just outside Costa Teguise, you can still see pools of cocoa-coloured water lying alongside the Barranco del Huron – the ravine that turned into a raging torrent of water on Saturday afternoon causing serious flooding and road closures in Costa Teguise.

By the football pitch, the flood spread out causing leaving huge mud flats, and the different colours of the sea at Playa Cucharas shows the amount of sediment that was washed into the ocean.

We also took a photo of Montaña Tejida, just north of Tinuaguache, whose attractive frilled ridges were also carved by centuries of rainfall.
