Anyway - I spotted this vid at the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4767403.stm Doug

Teide is a beautiful place. Some areas there really do look like Mars, one so much so that I actually took a "rover point of view" photo when I visited the place in 2003 for some amateur astronomy. As far as I could see from the low quality video clip, the rover testing was being done at that same place.

I saw that clip on the BBC news last night - it definitely looks like the same spot.
