Last day - Montana Pelada, the southern rift and Skinny Andrew's tile kiln

Heading across Montana Pelada crater

The walk to Montana Pelada can be warm so we planned it for first thing in the morning. With the aid of a map small groups checked out the field relationships between the original material of the tuff ring and the later ignimbrites and palaeosoils that fill its centre. Next on the list was lunch in Los Abrigos which has good fish restaurants (though sadly the sun went in at this stage) and then we headed uphill the short way (i,e, no hairpins) looking at some building stone use of basalt and various ignimbrites on the way and stopping at a restored tile kiln - Andres Delgado's kiln - which in contrast to the field walls is built with low density ignimbrite at the base and heavier basalt higher up.
Final stop was at the Centinela mirador which offers a really good view across the southern rift arm - more diffuse, and not a topographical feature like the NE and NW ridges but instead marked out by various sets of aligned scoria cones
An offering by Vince of a 'student's write up of the trip' and a massive paella for 15 finished the day off really well. Next year Fuerteventura and Lanzarote!
