Beauties of the Tenerife Island: endless banana plantations everywhere you look
Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
Today´s theme for the #smartphonephotography contest hosted by @juliank is "leaves" which sounds like the perfect opportunity to share some of my favorite photos from Tenerife with you. I have already dedicated several posts to the beautiful Canarian island of Tenerife, showing you the beauty of local picturesque towns, majestic mountains and stunning black-sand beaches. However, there is another thing so typical of this extraordinary piece of land - banana plantations!
That is right, Tenerife and the whole Canarian archipelago is one of the world´s largest producers of bananas and you can stumble on a plantation like this one literally everywhere.
The bunches of bananas are so massive and heavy that the plants actually have to be supported by these special metal rods.
The cool thing about Canarian bananas is that you can pick them completely green...
...leave them to ripen at home...
...and they will turn perfectly yellow, sweet and delicious in a few days :)
Buen provecho! :)

The banana plantations are actually one of the things I remember from when I visited Tenerife a while back. Not only are they everywhere - the plantations are also often huuuuge!
Oh yeah, they seem to be endless sometimes :) I love the sound the banana leaves make in the wind, I could spend hours just walking under the banana plants, it felt so good :) Thanks for stopping by @valth, I appreciate your regular visits to my blog.
I'd forgotten about the banana plantations on Tenerife @phortun. Nice reminder! 😊
Our apartment was facing a banana plantation so this is something I cannot forget about haha :))
This looks great! 👍 last year we have a stay on la Palma. (Near to Teneriffa) our hotel was in the middle of a plantation.

I think this year we will also have a stay on teneriffe! Up for you post
Cool! Thanks for these nice photos, Canary Islands are amazing! :)
Seems pretty cool to stay in a hotel in the middle of a plantation though. Must feel really isolated from the rest of the city ;)
The only thing I hate to Tenerife are banana plantations and specially abandoned plantations. But the fruit tastes good.
Why? I think it is a part of their culture and tradition. We used to have a banana plantation next to our apartment and the view was nice.
On the west side of the island, where they are not covered by this ugly white cloth, they are fascinating and landscaping. But in the east when you look downhill into the landscape, you see only the white-yellow surfaces that ruin the countryside.
Ah ok, got your point now. I lived in the north and often hiked up in the mountains and there were no plantations, just the original beautiful landscape.
Beautiful Tenerife Island with amazing banana plantations I love it
Thanks, Tenerife is awesome :)
Tolik čerstvých vitamínů pohromadě ;-). Teda ta palma s tím má co dělat.
To teda jo, jeden trs údajně váží až 50 kilo :)
Ty kovové podpěry mluví za vše ;-)
this is amazing, MUY BIEN! I love bananas 🍌 and the trees look so pretty, banana palm trees for the win 🌴 saludos!
Haha, thanks :) I love bananas too, especially when I can pick them by myself :) Saludos!
