Sky From Above Drone | Pico de las Nieves | Gran Canaria

Sky From Above Drone presents 'Pico de Las Nieves in Gran Canaria'.
Pico de las Nieves is the highest peak of the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Its height is 1,949 metres (6,394 ft) above sea level. The origin is volcanic (stratovolcano). On its slopes, Canary Islands Pine was reintroduced in the 1950s. It is the highest elevation of the province of Las Palmas and the 32[2] highest mountain in the Canary Islands.[3] Gran Canaria is the third largest island with more altitude of the Canary Islands, after Tenerife and La Palma.
The name means 'peak of the snows' in Spanish and refers to the fact that several covered pits (neveras in Spanish) for holding snow were built directly into the mountainsides. (An alternative theory states that the name came about as the mountain had the highest frequency of snowfalls on the island.) The first of the neveras was constructed in 1694 by order of the Church. The snow was collected by laborers using shovels wooden and wicker baskets, making real mountains of snow. The snow was placed into the pits by the "paleros" in rows, and packed in rectangular boxes of wood or cork separated by layers of straw. They were many blocks of ice, called "sabanada" which in June would be carried in panniers of straw covered with blankets to the ice cream shop in Cathedral of Las Palmas (capital of the island) on horseback, that took five or six hours. The snow was used for alleviating disease, to lower the temperature in the epidemics of yellow fever and cholera, as well as anti-inflammatory and analgesic. It was also used as a refreshing, for cooling water or beverages made that were offered to the authorities or upper class individuals. Water from these pools was then used for irrigation purposes.

Going to gran canaria with my drone in a week, any recommendations as I heard that Spain is quite strict (saw regulations etc.). Many Thanks :) and great video !

[@skyfromabovedrone5280]

Hallo, thank you for your compliments. The regulations is almost the same as Holland. If you respect the low then there is nothing to worry about. The country has lot of nature and you can fly there without any problems. keep you eye on the helicopter because they fly a lot over there. Have a nice vacation and Subscribe on our channel.
