Where In The World? - 1

What is the name of the island shown in the photos above? It's one of a group belonging to a country rather a long way away to the north. 1.5 million visitors arrive every year, mainly to the mass tourism resorts at the southern tip. Inland is spectacular scenery with mountains up to 1,949 metres. Roque Nublo has a basalt spike on top reaching 1,700 metres and would look at home in America's Monument Valley. A popular local dish is Conejo al salmorejo - stewed rabbit and tomato.

Capitals And Rivals

Tourism Management students should, of course, find this a doddle. They don't always - and of course many of our people have joined us from places on the other side of the globe. So if you're British you ought to know, if you're not it gives a chance to get to know by looking them up. Good quality pocket atlases can be bought new for a fiver from all those well known good book shops.

Name the cities: some are capitals of UK countries, others might wish they were. The scale is small so if there is more than one city in the area of the square then choose the biggest.

Do You Know Europe?

Lots of questions here but Europe is important. Map 1 is countries to be named, except for 1 and 5 which are islands (note: 3 is a tiny country between France and Spain). Map 2 is about natural features: 11, 12, 15, 17 sea areas; 13 coastal feature which attracts tourists; 14, 20 mountain ranges; 16 island; 18 volcano; 19 river. Map 3 are all cities - if the marker seems to cover more than one, choose the most important/biggest.
