🇪🇦 Teneriffa

On the way to the airport, we were able to do a little lap at the foot of the Teide. Although the sun only rises here around 7 a.m. and you are at an altitude of over 2000 meters, it is already brutally hot at 10 a.m. Then my hiking sandals finally gave up (second strap broke), they were just better… Leer más

Cruz del Carmen is THE viewpoint in the Mercedeswald. As a result, there is usually traffic chaos here, and you will practically never find a parking space. Today on the way back it was pretty empty, we even got a legal parking space in only about 2 minutes.

The tourist information was closed (no idea… Leer más

After visiting the park and driving yesterday, it was time for another hike today. After I had spent half the night sorting and editing all the pictures (I wanted to finally approve a good part of the hikes - the one from yesterday is still missing, I will soon have 400 pictures and a lot to do), we… Leer más

After we had stuck in the wine-growing museum for longer than expected, a visit to a restaurant in the evening was now rather unrealistic (once you are in the hotel, you can't get away). Since the bus ride to Puerto is cumbersome (change), we rescheduled. Get off in Santa Ursula, coffee and cake in Caf… Leer más

Today we made the second attempt to visit the Viticulture Museum. The journey by bus via Orotava is cheap, but quite exhausting. but if you really want to try wine, a taxi would be the only alternative ...

When we arrived in El Sauzal it started to rain. But that's not unusual here in the north of the… Leer más

After we hadn't walked that much today, we wanted to go back to the fish restaurant that evening, where we were already on the first evening. Of course, walking the same route doesn't make much sense. We took the bus towards La Orotava and we had a new route (some of which I saw for the first time… Leer más

After we hadn't walked as much as planned yesterday, there should be the first serious hike today. But it was quite warm, so shade was a must - the Orotava forest is the ideal option! There is some shade here, and often there is also the fog, which is responsible for the lush green in this region.

Hoy, a diferencia de ayer (llegada a la isla), había mucho que contar. En la web de TITSA (empresa de transporte local) encontré una buena conexión en autobús hasta el museo del vino. Pero en el lugar, en la parada de autobús, resultó que no era así. Un autobús alternativo debería haber salido incluso… Leer más

Today we flew on our short vacation. Everything went wonderfully, so we could do our first tour right away. The Rincon del Mar is on the other side of the village, but it is one of the best (most authentic) on the island! We will eat here a few more times.

On the way back we passed a hype. Will it be… Leer más

Since we had Sahara dust the entire week, our hope of catching beautiful landscapes or a great starry sky up on the Teide was clouded in the truest sense of the word. It was therefore clear that the visit to the Birds of Prey Park would be the photographic highlight of the trip.

I've been here several… Leer más

After the really tough hike yesterday, we wanted to take it easy today. So sat in the car and headed south - in the Birds of Prey Park (now called Jungle Park), birds can be photographed wonderfully, even in flight. Too bad that Monday and Tuesday are closed! What now? We decided to go back to Los Gigantes… Leer más

Beautiful beach at the end of the world. The drive here can be really fun if you don't have various tourist snails in front of you at almost walking pace (otherwise you just have to enjoy the beautiful rainforest) ...
