There's an area of El Hierro, which looks uncannily like the Yorkshire dales. I do a double take every time I see it. Short grass, pale, drystone walls. Definitely Yorkshire.
Except that the plants hanging over the walls aren't hawthorn trees, they're prickly pears.
And unlike the prickly pears on La Palma, they don't have cochineal beetles on them, so they look much nicer.
