Tenerife

Teide National Park

Every morning from our breakfast table at the hotel we had a magnificent view of the Pico del Teide. Sometimes the mountain was covered in clouds, sometimes it stood out in sharp contrast to the clear blue sky and on one morning we even saw snow at the top of it.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife – a flying visit

Santa Cruz de Tenerife was only one of many places along the road from the southern part of the island back to the north for us. Until we decided to stop off and inhale some city aroma.

A trip to La Orotava on a rainy day

La Orotava is located in the Orotava valley in the North of the island of Tenerife. On a rainy day, we took our hire car to Orotava. Our objective: Get out of the hotel and go for a little walk.

Parque Taoro in Puerto de la Cruz

One of the most beautiful gardens of Tenerife, the Parque Taoro, is located in Puerto de la Cruz. Take the time to stroll through the garden.

Do we, or don’t we? Drive to the Faro de Teno Lighthouse

That is the big question. The Faro de Teno Lighthouse lets some visitors feel the sting of remorse. That is because actually, driving through to the lighthouse is not permitted.

Jardín Botánico de la Orotava

Especially on very hot days, a trip to the Jardín Botánico de la Orotava is highly recommended. In the shadow under the trees, visitors can find some clam in the city.
