What is place between Caleta and Triquiviate? Looks like a quarry/stoneworks or cement works. You could see clouds of dust hanging between the mountains. Must be damaging the the air quality.
And there's also a guy on the FV2 towards Tarajalejo who kicks up loads of dust with his builders merchant.
Isn't anyone monitoring these businesses? Crazy!
My understanding is that this is, indeed, a cement works. The island is rich in limestone which is heat-processed to produce cement, hence all of the historical ‘hornos’ found pretty much everywhere!

Not sure when your picture was taken Archer but the wind must make it appear worse, I know when there was ground works going on near us on the golf course 18 months a go the dust was particularly bad on windy days.

WG. Picture taken yesterday. That dust cloud seemed be heading towards Caleta chipmonk mount. Not nice all that dust in the atmosphere.
What are the authorities (Cabildo) doing to curb it? There are ways that dust can be 'captured' from works like that, and the building trade has strict restrictions.
Just because it's been there for years doesn't mean a bad practice should be accepted!!
