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.
Stunning viewpoint in Teide National Park. Stop there on your way from Teide Volcano to Esperanza Forest.

Recently, my family and I decided to take a walk around the campus of the University of La Laguna. We were particularly impressed by the Faculty of Fine Arts, Bellas Artes. It looks very similar to the new Apple office in Silicon Valley.
We have a well-developed ferry service between the 8 islands (including Graciosa). Ferries are convenient if you are traveling with a car or animals.
I'm talking about an extraordinary place for a peaceful walk along the ocean. The path is quite suitable for strollers, but at times you'll have to carry them over steps and pull them uphill. But it's worth it.
The Canary Islanders came up with an interesting entertainment - a knights' tournament in a castle. It's a quite decent show, if you don't take it too seriously and demandingly. I recommend it for a family visit: neither adults nor children will be bored!
Barraquito is a sweet coffee drink that is loved in the Canary Islands for being served in layers, thanks to the different densities of its ingredients. It all starts with condensed milk, then a layer of liqueur (most often Licor 43, consisting of 43 spices, or Tia Maria - a Jamaican coffee liqueur with a vanilla accent), then espresso coffee, and topped with whipped milk. The drink is served in a medium or tall glass, garnished with cinnamon and lemon or lime zest. And, of course, there is also a non-alcoholic version of barraquito.
