A question we often get asked is ‘where is a good base for walking on Tenerife?’ There are so many ways to answer this question. It can depend on individual preferences, especially on an island like Tenerife… […]
We like Tegueste a lot. It’s a pleasant northern town with a great market, some historic areas and fabulous fiestas. The council had recently announced three themed walking… […]
Routes we like best are the ones that are not on the radar of the walking groups, the ones that take unexpected twists and turns, that traverse paths that once formed lifelines between communities but have long fallen into disuse. Those are the routes that give us most pleasure… […]
