GEOGRAPHY: DESCRIBE A LANDSCAPE

This landscape is situated in La Palma, Canary Islands. It is a subtropical climate (temperate zone).
The summers are hot and the winters are mild because it is a island and it is surrounded by the ocean
It never rains ( in summer ) but in the months of January, February and March usually rains. Due to the influence of the Mediterranean climate, it has wet winters.
La Palma has got two  small rivers in la Caldera de Taburiente, a mountain arch with a crater shape, and they have regular flow. Forests in this zone are made up of evergreen trees such as canary island pines and dragos. Fauna: there are grajas, La Palma giant lizard, Western Canary Isands goldcrest, pinzón pamero, paeriforme. La Palma has also characteristics of Mountain landscapes because there are more than 2500 metres altitude in some areas with very low temperatures.
