Каменная мать (Madre de piedra)

Stone Mother

I found the statue I've been looking for a very long time. It's called Stone Mother (Madre de piedra), they say it resembles Putin. It's located in Santa Ursula, Tenerife. I made several attempts to find this statue, and this time we were lucky. The sculpture-flowerbed sits in a small park called Jardin Social La Quinta. There's a large parking lot nearby. If you're in Puerto de la Cruz, stop by and take some pictures.

Playa de Almáciga

Playa de Almáciga

Playa de Almáciga – my favorite in Anaga park. It's a beach with character and a distinctive wild nature. Be very careful with it. It'll greet you with relaxed and serene hippies in vans, running surfers, and tanned Canarian youth sunbathing. The beach has pleasant warm black sand. But I wouldn't recommend swimming beyond waist-deep, especially if there are waves, as there can be riptides. After sunbathing, let's go to the next beach to watch the sunset.

Benijo

Beniho Beach

The most sensual beach on the island is Playa de Benijo. Time your visit during low tide, otherwise you won't see the beach. It's a nudist and free-spirited people's beach. Feel at one with nature. Make sure to visit a few hours before sunset as the sun disappears behind the mountains earlier. Your photos will be mind-blowing!
