Here are some pictures, all from the Canaries except the first one.
For some reason my camera and Fran’s computer can’t connect – it’s one of those technical mysteries – so only now we could share something more visual. Fran is making many videos since the beggining.

Sylphs welcoming in Jerez (very well gifted) a city in the south of Spain and close to the port of departure: Cadiz.

An object inside a military base in the island of La Gomera, north of its main city San Sebastian de la Gomera. We speculate it’s some kind of monument to the world war 2 nazi regime’s flying vehicles.

One of the many strange, sometimes bizarre buildings and structures that are found throughout the archipelago, in different stages of decay or simply being in use (unclear for what).
Hi Carlos how are you,
I think there is more to your preliminary photos than you actually hint, the ‘monument’ has a recognizable lighting logo that is similarly found on many round antenna, must have been sarcastic ?!
The strange slow building is evidently a buried construction, why otherwise would enlarge its foundation like that f the height was that short. It reminds me a top of a Maya pyramid, however also the cloud in the sky seems to add to the weird feeling.
Lots of congratulations for the humungous gifting and enormous effort gifting Canarias that is very inspiring, best of luck.
We are now in the island of Lanzarote staying at friend’s house and getting ready to do a propper gifting of this island and later Fuerteventura – these are the driest islands of the archipelago. We hope to be able to make and then use some more ammunition in between gifting both islands.
The strange building, we found out, is actually part of some abandoned water network on the sparsely populated western edge of the island of Fuerteventura, near the fabled [Villa Winter/url:5w6c0i7i (area tentatively gifted)
This water network included many smaller structures and small “access houses” like that building, with motors and other heavy machinery - we suppose it was used to move the water. We found these structures to be mostly destroyed, filled with cement, etc. One of these structures had an underground part, like you suggested, and still connected with water so we dropped a couple of TBs [Image Can Not Be Found]
The lightining logo reminds me of the SS but most of what we can say about it is really just speculation. These photos are offered a little as illustration for the ongoing field reports, really [Image Can Not Be Found]
