Learning Spanish such as the word charcos made easy.

How copy legally

Charcos belong to the most typical of Tenerife's landscapes.They are an outstanding geological phenomen and merit more explanations.

Their meaning which helped me to classify them as rockpools was first explained to me by my friend César. He is a native from Valencia Spain who explained the Tenerife charco beach characteristics to me in Castellano Spanish.

Geological coastal aspect Garachico charcos

By the way, the coastal look of Garachico with its charco cliffs is nothing like the geology by El Medano's eastcoast, where the rocks are rather flat, while those all over the Tenerife Westcoast are dark in color. Again, it is very astounding, how an almost black rockpool landscape can happen on one and the same island. Tenerife island is most unique, indeed.

Charco beach vegetation

Mind that the geological charco miracle of Garachico came about during the Trevejo eruption of 1706. That is not long ago. Even beach vegetation grows by charco borders and between the black volcanic surface of this seafront. It is not moss, as is rather normal, but other low Tenerife Tibaiba and succulents. The plants smoothen and color the ground in the most unusual and natural way. The rockpools called charcos or el Caletón Garachico are another example of natural wonders of the biggest Canary Island.

How pronounce the charco word in its plural form?

San Telmo beach of charcos:

Notice that seafronts with charcos are part of Tenerife beaches, such as the San Telmo beach of Puerto de la Cruz, an image of which is depicted beside. This is why locals and many tourists regard the Garachico beach of charcos as one of most delightful and also romantic beaches.

UK charco pools near seasides.:

Nevertheless a couple of years ago, I read some homepage about natural pools at the UK coast, where not all were filled with salt water from the sea. Others, a little further inland were once created by the ocean, dried up and contain sweet water now. They were too tiny to merit the definition lagunes.

The Plaza del Charco de los Camarones:

This center court yard of the Puerto de la Cruz de Tenerife hub was once a charco or natural pool. Some elderly Spaniards say, that there were as many a charco in that spot, as you may imagine. But that's hearsay, you know...

Charco de los Camarones means pool of crabs, Indeed, many of them are still close by at the town's Muelle which is a long quay of the oldest Tenerife resort. However, there they don't interfer with any locals or tourists. Yes, not even with dogs or cats...

The Atlantic may even be called a charco in the figurative sense. But that leads too far. Perhaps, I will continue teaching a little of Spain's main language. Whenever I'll stumble upon something peculiar, which is easy to explain with an interesting photo such as charcos, I will come forward.

However, all ways lead to Rome and there is more than one best way to learn Spanish.
