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.
Lago Martianez is an outdoor pool complex located in Puerto de la Cruz. Since the north of Tenerife constantly experiences waves, such a complex is not only appropriate but also necessary. All the pools are filled with ocean water.
Tenerife Norte is another airport in Tenerife, located in the north of the island, 14 kilometers from the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Sometimes you can hear its old name – Los Rodeos.
In the western part of Tenerife Island, nestled among rocky shores, lies a small, luxurious little cove. Here, you'll find light, fine sand and clear azure waters.
In February, we arrived in Tenerife during the carnival celebration. How could we not take at least a little peek at the bright and flamboyant dresses of the queens, the dressed-up men, and the semi-naked dancing girls? Want to join us?
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.
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.
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!
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.
Monkey Park is a contact zoo on Tenerife. This primate paradise is located in the southern part of the island of Tenerife, near the Los Cristianos resort.
One of the best wild beaches in the south of Tenerife Island. During low tide, a wide shoreline with pleasant fine gray sand opens up. The entry into the ocean is gradual. The bottom is sandy, but there are huge boulders in some places, so be careful.
I want to tell you about an unusual park on Tenerife. For some reason, we ignored Jungle Park for several years, but it turned out to be awesome. In the park, there are shows featuring birds and animals every hour. The eagle show impresses everyone! They flew just inches from my head. Apart from the theatrical performances, you can also hand-feed rare birds and swim with sea lions here.
I know only 4 hiking routes on our island Tenerife, for which you need to obtain free permits in advance. How to do it and whether it's worth it, I'll explain in this article.
