Archived Report - Abandoned Army Camp...Tenerife..Jan 09

[stepping lightly]

Situated near Poris de Abona on the island of Tenerife (out towards the lighthouse)
Status: Seems abandoned and a haunt for the local taggers, it’s a little run down and would have been a better find maybe 10 years ago..

I would love to give this place a bit of history, but being military and Spanish id say my chances of finding anything on the net are pretty slim.
As I walked towards the gate…..

The size of the camp became more apparent , wow its huge passing the first building on the left which had that “Alamo” look about it…Then a quick nosey in the generator house , which had still the remains of a couple of generators.
Its hard to know which way to explore first as there is so much of it , I opted for the large official looking building….

Todo por la patria….Everything for the people

Looking back at the mess blocks id just came past…

Looking across a small valley with the remains of an old jeep and numerous other buildings….

I then headed for the largest building…

Passing this…

And this on route..

As I came out of the rear of this building..

I was greeted by what I can only describe as “WOW”
No not that , part II will be along shortly (depending on photobucket)……….

Part II
Is that a , no it can't be , why would an army camp have a church ?

Ho my God !!!!

Looking towards the alter...

Looking to the back...

It,s funny how you'll find sanctuary...

If this would have been in focus...

Ho and if you do ever visit this place take a torch as there is lodes of under ground stuff..

Make sure you pick a nice day though it was freezing when I went
