Comment: I'm still working on the article, but I think it's long enough for DYK now. Most sources are in Spanish, sorry. There are more photos available on Commons if the one here isn't suitable.
New enough, long enough, well-written & neutral. Hook checks out, pic ok to use. How long will you be working on it, do you think? Me, I'd add at least Tenerife to the hook.

Johnbod: Thanks for the review! I wasn't expecting one so quickly. :-) I'm aiming to finish writing the article tonight, depending on how many distractions I get, and then normally Nikkimaria turns up to remove the Wikidata-powered infobox - after that it should be stable. I've added a link to Tenerife in the main hook above, thanks for pointing that omission out. Thanks.
