It was late March when we returned and the hills and valleys had burst into a cacophony of colour like no other I have seen on the island in all the years we’ve lived here. […]
Emerging once again into the sunlight, we were stopped in our tracks by a carpet of blue tajinaste flowers, resonating in shades of lilac as the breeze rustled through the profusion of flowers. […]
The Rambla del Castro route in Los Realejos is our favourite coastal walk on Tenerife. It possesses a tropical beauty that exudes an exotic flavour of the Caribbean. It also has history, secret coves and quirks galore. […]
