Yeah the whole island is very volcanic and barron most of the greenary that you see are man-planted palm trees and the odd cactus.
There are huge sand dunes in the north east of the island that are alot prettier than the desert'esc barron mountains and plains.
I really loved the place, there are not many places I go that I would like to live but I could live there quite easily, I even asked the hotel if they had any electrician jobs going
