Lots of Canarian plants look seriously exotic to visitors from northern Europe. Some of my favourites are the Aeonium genus (which now includes what used to be the separate genus of Greenovia). They like dry places: cliff walls, lava flows and old roofs. This one was growing in a lava flow near Tiñor, with several hundred friends and relatives. I think it's Greenovia aurea, but I'm no expert and my book lists 35 different species, some of them very similar.
