Try 28.08824278,-14.49090529 in Google Earth (not sure how to create a direct link). The strip is still pretty visible.

I have no idea it if was used during WWII - It is worth noting that the whole southern part of the island was pretty much gifted by Franco to the Germans and was cordoned down. What they actually did there (except for the completely surreal villa Winter which is an interesting subject by itself) is pretty much unknown and open to lots of speculation. My personal interest is in the aviation aspect of it - if any.

Anyone have an idea of what kind of strip was needed for say a Ju-52 ?
