Dragon Tree

One of the main points of interest on Tenerife is this Dragon Tree in the village of Icod de los Vinos. That's the tree (right center) that looks like a large piece of broccoli. It is said to be over 1000 years old. When a piece of bark or a branch are broken, the tree "bleed" a dark-red sap called "dragon-tree blood", which can be used with medical purposes.
