There are a few iconic shots on Tenerife and the view of Roque Cinchado with El Teide in the background is one of them. So much so it made it onto a Spanish banknote (in Peseta days). […]
There are a handful of walking routes on Tenerife which instantly would spring to mind if we wanted to impress visiting friends who enjoyed a jaunt in the countryside. Teno Alto in the west of the island one of them. […]
For another in our ‘Six scenes…’ series we turn our attention to Tenerife’s remote north east and our favourite walking area on the island, Anaga. […]
I use images a lot on our sites anyaway, but I’m also wordy rappinghood. So, for a change, I’m just going to let photos do all the work, starting with the Los Órganos route in the Orotava Valley. […]
Anyone walking in the hills above the south west coast, especially in the Santiago del Teide area, over the last few weeks will have not only experienced… […]
You’ve got your heart set on stepping out into the sunshine and making tracks for the great Tenerife countryside to explore virgin forests and breathe in sweeping vistas that will make your heart soar… […]
