The name “September” comes from an old Roman word, “septem,” which actually means 7. ... The Romans believed that September was looked after by the god of fire. ...
In the year 1752, the British Empire skipped 11 days of September, between the 2nd and 14th. This was actually due to another calendar change, although this time it was when the British Empire changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.

Jameos del Agua
This enchanting subterranean realm is accessed via a partially collapsed lava tube of La Corona Volcano, and opens to reveal a stunning landscape of lava-formed pools, lush gardens and a natural concert hall. The entrance to Jameos del Agua is via the collapsed lava tunnel of La Corona Volcano, which erupted thousands of years ago and left behind this unique location enhanced by César Manrique.
As you descend, you will discover Jameos Chico, a subterranean lagoon where unique Albino blind crabs thrive. The lagoon is 7 meter deep and provides a home to over 70 endemic species, the blind crab among them. Its azure water stands in stark contrast to the surrounding black volcanic rock, and you can also find a restaurant here that will provide you with one of the most unique dining experiences.
The final stop on this inspiring route is Jameos de la Cazuela, the natural concert hall with amazing acoustics.
