Of ever increasing importance in many parts of the world is the tourist industry.

The presence of a volcano, especially if it is very large, or active, is a great advantage.

Tourists are always eager to visit the scenes of disasters, as happened on Etna in 1971,

when tourists flocked to the areas where lava overran vineyards and threatened

houses. This volcano is also an attraction because it is so large and impressive, and

has snow on the summit for much of the year. Mount Teide in Tenerife is an impressive

and even higher volcano which has a snow cap for 3 or 4 months of the year.

Lanzarote, another Canary Island, has a few tourist volcanic attractions. There is

a stretch of 18thcentury lava studded with numerous small craters which resemble a

lunar landscape. In the same area are a few hotspots where the ground is extremely

hot. Only sixty centimetres below the surface the temperature reaches 400°C. Water

can be thrown into a hole and will reappear as a small geyser within seconds.

Brushwood thrust into a hole in the ground bursts into flames almost immediately. Both

of these localities are near a new restaurant which has an open barbeque utilising heat

from subterranean sources. The restaurant is of course built on lava.

And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
