EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the arid landscape of Tenerife's southern region, where the climate was not conducive to traditional farming methods using cattle, local farmers found a solution in an animal more suited to the water-deprived terrain: the camel. In this photograph from circa 1907, a camel caravan makes its way across the rugged terrain, carrying essential supplies for the community. The camels, with their humps laden with goods, are an iconic sight against the backdrop of the Canary Islands. Before mass tourism transformed the region, these animals were a common mode of transport for farmers, who relied on their strength and resilience to navigate the challenging terrain. The camels were often used to transport goods such as food, water, and other essentials between different parts of the island. The image showcases the unique relationship between the farmers and their camels, as they work together to overcome the challenges of the terrain. The caravan, or 'caravana' in Spanish, moves steadily forward, a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of Tenerife. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when these animals played a vital role in the daily lives of the local population. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Tenerife and the Canary Islands, and the resourcefulness of the people who have called this beautiful island home for generations. The camels, with their distinctive silhouettes, continue to be a symbol of the region's unique character and resilience.
