They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is shown to be the case on the 28 Days Later Urban Exploration Forum. Members of that forum explore old buildings and constructions but not necessarily old churches or buildings of significant historical value. They find beauty and interest in the old, abandoned and neglected but everyday structures of times gone by.
Those from the UK UE forum who have visited Tenerife have taken a very different series of holiday snaps than your average tourist. Looking at the pictures of the old dam at El Rio which I must have passed in the car a hundred times, makes me rather sad not to have noticed the odd beauty in this old structure and promise myself to be more observant in future.
Other Tenerife structures that have been documented by the forum are an old miner’s cave from which I borrowed the picture above, and an abandoned army camp at Poris de Abona.
All credit to the Urban Explorers who put those pictures together. Nice job.

Hiya..some friends and I rented a car last week when on holiday in the north of, tenerife and decided to head up the mountains.. We went completely off the beaten track and ended up lost in the forest on an old track.. We came across a few desserted mines shafts and train tracks which was really weird and abit creepy ..had no idea anything like that exsisted up there. Really fascinated now and just wanted to know more about the mines and why they are abandoned? Thanks, aimee xxx
