Each municipality has its own scenery, from Yaiza, home to Timanfaya National Park and the beaches of Playa Blanca, to Arrecife, the island's capital and port, and Haría in the north, known for its valley of palm trees. Distances on the island are short, so teams can see different parts of the island as they move between venues.
