This is not our first time visiting the island, so I will share some less touristy spots. For example, a wild beach, a short trek, and I'll tell you about a good hotel with a beach. Plan to spend 3-5 days on the island.
Over my 5 years of living here, I've come to appreciate the local culture and lifestyle. Here's my personal top reasons why I like Spain, why we live here, and why we're raising our daughter here.
I'm sharing the best places to rent a car in Barcelona. I've gathered several services for comparing car rental prices and a large list of rental companies. Check the prices with at least a few of them before booking.
I rarely wash my car in Tenerife, about once every few months. There's just no need, it's already clean. As everywhere else, we have several types of car washes: self-service washes (€1 for 1-2 minutes), automatic washes (€4-8), hand washes (€20-40), and dry washes.
In February, we came across a carnival celebration in Tenerife. How could we not take a peek at the bright and luxurious dresses of queens, dressed-up men, and half-naked dancing girls. Will you join us?
We were sitting and thinking about which route to take through Anaga Park this time. There are dozens of them there. We decided to drive to the most romantic Benijo beach and walk along 2 routes and also explore some unofficial trails.
A hike through the atypical and less crowded part of Anaga Park in the north of Tenerife. In the middle of the hike, we'll take a dip at a secluded beach. In the mountains, we'll spot some goats and walk among the clouds.
Here's the translation into American English:
I'm sharing my favorite all-day volcano trail. The track goes through the Chinyero crater, then across a lava river, we climb up Montaña Negra, and reach the picnic area. On the way back, we had an unpleasant adventure, but I'll tell you all about it in order.
I'll tell you how we went to Loro Park on the island of Tenerife, watched the killer whale, sea lion, and parrot shows, walked along the bottom of the "ocean" next to sharks, and went to the "South Pole" to see the king penguins. I'll also tell you about the best black sand beach in Tenerife.
I'll tell you about an unusual route through the north of Tenerife Island. Pick a day with good weather, as it rains very often in the Anaga park. We'll check out a few viewpoints and head out on a short hike for a few hours, then have lunch at a French village restaurant.
We did it on the 4th attempt! We, like the ultimate failures, tried for 4 years to climb up to the Teide crater, but we couldn't make it. And finally, it happened! You have 2 options – climb on foot or take the cable car. We chose the second, lazy option.
In the photo, the bananas are arranged chronologically by ripeness. If you want to eat one now, take it from the top; if you plan to enjoy it in a few days, pick from the bottom.
Discover the latest grocery prices in Spanish supermarkets like Mercadona, Lidl, Aldi, and HipperDino on the southern part of Tenerife. This virtual tour with over 150 photos captures everything from fresh produce to household essentials.
I'm telling you about my favorite turron. I like the orange turron the best. It's very sticky, with a few caramelized orange slices on top. You can get it at Mercadona or Lidl.
