Passing by Finca Canarias we were attracted by its ecological plantation so that the day after we stopped by. Despite covid, it was open and still offering visits to (the few) visitors. Elisa immediately welcomed us and led us to a super interesting visit through the outside aloe vera fields, explaning all the details about aloe cultivation as well as other typical plants and flowers of Tenerife. She also showed us a beautiful greenhouse replicating the diversity of plants growing in Tenerife, including ananas plants (never seen before!), banana plants and many others. We then assisted to the process of extracting the juice from aloe vera leaves and and we tried it directly on our skin!! We learnt so many interesting aspects about this extraordinary plant and its plantation! They also have a super well furnished shop where they sell their orgànic products. I find them just great, so their quality is totally worth the price! Also, thanks to our purchase, we had two products as gifts - which was much appreciated :) Elisa really took the time to explain the details of every product we asked her about and guided us with much care. Even if there were 2 other customers she made sure she was done with us before moving on to them. Besides, she is really nice and friendly! #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

Even if you don't, actually the Palmetum in Santa Cruz was just pure awesome. We absolutely loved seeing the exotic plants and flowers from all over the world, ranging from Brazil to India, to the Canary Islands, to Morocco, Madagascar, Australia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, etc. etc. Simply splendid. And just so cool, literally! It was 34C° when we were there and the lovely trees provided a lot of natural shade for us to cool down too. Honestly, words can't really describe the colors, the patterns, the styles, so in essence, the diversity of the flowers and plants on display. Just go see it for yourself. Must-see 5/5 #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

We adored the scenery. Arrived to Cruz d. Carmen, visited the information center with a very helpful employee giving us many tips and started the hike around - did the Sentiero hike which is fairly short but can be demanding as the path can be slippery and steep. The air and humidity is incredible, coming here after desert environment of Montaña Blanca was incredibly refreshing. Had a lunch (12 euros for bread, soup, main course, desert and wine/water) in a restaurant opposite the parking lots. The road to the park is not for the faint of hearts, it is very wet, narrow and has many curves. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

This poorly advertised gem is booked at hotel Sandos San Blas on the boardwalk edge of San Blas resort. The natural reserve is like a mini Grand canyon, with great live commentary delivered through headsets, as actors took us back through time. The volcano shaped the land, then Tenerife Guanches lived there before conquering settlers moved in. Interactive experience is followed by a walk into the steep sided reserve. Raft trip across the reservoir feels like a film set. €15 for non hotel guests. Visit the hotel bar afterwards, great cocktails and a lovely setting. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

We took a short (25 min) taxi ride from our hotel (Ritz Carlton Abama) to play the Adeje to mix things up golf wise and we were glad we did. The weather as you can see from the pics was a little overcast but added drama to the stunning scenery that surrounds Adeje GC. With the ocean along one side and the mountains as a backdrop it is really stunning but can get a little breezy at times. Weather aside our experience was a good one albeit it got off to a shaky start. Mrs L fairly new to the sport is fairly nervous playing with others, especially people she hasn't yet met. I think we all suffer first tee nerves from time to time, I suppose its just that we all want to get off the tee showing we can at least hit a semi decent shot. However the last thing any novice needs is the pressure of playing with single handicap golfers, its no good for the novice and likewise Im sure not enjoyable for someone with a single figure handicap? Anyway the course was extremely busy (think it was around a BH weekend early Dec) we sat in our golf cart adjacent to the starter hut nervously waiting to see our playing partners. A buggy pulled up behind with two young men in it, who certainly looked like golfers and as I got out of my cart to introduce myself saw they were heading for the 'championship' tee! "Oh I exclaimed, playing of the big boys tee eh?" introducing myself at the same time. They were very polite and went to explain one of them was an Italian pro marking a card, which immediately put the willies up Mrs L (figuratively speaking) We had to wait a while for the group ahead to clear as it was obvious this pair could strike the ball a country mile and with us playing off the forward tee wait for them. I was delighted to see my novice golfing better half nail her drive down the first to relive and nerves / tension and we both enjoyed a great round of golf. After a slow start on the first few holes, which saw us waiting a while on each tee the group in front sped up and it turne #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

The busy beach of Playa de las Americas in Tenerife is such a vidid place during the day. So many (for some even too many) people gather for sunbathing and having a few drinks. I like to spend some time in the beach restaurants to have lunch and watch the busy area during the peak hours. While passing by later during the day. I was wondering why so many people like to gather together at Play de las Americas in Tenerife early in the evening. Many had cameras ready so I knew there would be something worth seeing. I decided to wait for a while with them and what I saw was a magnificent sunset, one of the best I have ever seen and I have seen many. When the sun is starting to set, the beach slowly empties and people move towards the beach boulevard to do shopping and eating in the numerous restaurants nearby. But this is something you should consider not missing: the sunset. There are numerous places where it can be seen but the view is really worth seeing. Nothing blocks the view when the sun slowly disappears to the horizon and colors the sky to reddish orange before the darkness. It’s really a moment to say goodbye for the present day and hope to see the sun again tomorrow. You can access Playa de las Americas from the road TF-1 that goes around Tenerife. From here it’s also very handy to go to a day trip to the Teide volcano. There are numerous hotels and restaurants of all price ranges at the area. #tenerife #spain #sunset #playadelasamericas #beach

1. Address - Playa del Bollullo 🏖️ Highlights - such a beautiful beach. I would definitely recommend renting a car here so you can drive from beach to beach. So accessible by car + parking is very available all around. If you go at the right time it’s must less crowded than around peak times. Rating - 10/10 2. Address - Parque Nacional Del Teide ⛰️ Highlights - something a bit different than just your typical beach. Kind of like a mini hike vibe where you can walk up and get a beautiful views of the surrounds mountains from the top. Very quiet location so you honestly won’t see that many people around! Rating - 10/10 3. Address - Los 500 Escalones El Sauzal 🌅 Highlights - the perfect destination for a sunrise or sunset location. Sunrise is much less busier than sunset so I’d definitely recommend for sunrise - especially if you want a more romantic scene! Rating - 100/10

Spending five weeks in Tenerife during the winter was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This island is pure magic—offering a perfect blend of sunshine, adventure, and relaxation when the rest of Europe was stuck in the cold. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the dramatic landscapes. One day I’d be soaking up the sun on the golden beaches of Costa Adeje, and the next, I’d be hiking through the surreal lunar landscapes of Teide National Park. The diversity is truly mind-blowing—lush forests in the north, volcanic wonders in the center, and lively coastal towns in the south. But what really made me fall in love with Tenerife was the laid-back vibe and welcoming locals. Whether it was enjoying fresh seafood at a seaside restaurant in Los Cristianos or sipping a barraquito coffee while watching the sunset over the Atlantic, every moment felt like a dream. And let’s not forget the climate—while friends back home were battling freezing temperatures, I was living in eternal spring, with blue skies and perfect temperatures almost every day. Tenerife isn’t just a holiday spot; it’s a place that feels like home. I left a piece of my heart there, and I know I’ll be back. #tenerife #Tenerife #CanaryIslands #VisitTenerife #TenerifeLovers #IslasCanarias #TenerifeAdventure #TeideNationalPark #TenerifeBeaches #WinterSun 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: #ExploreTenerife

#chillandthrill Tenerife’s beaches were absolutely stunning and offered something for everyone! 🏖️☀️ My favorite was Playa de las Teresitas, with its golden sand imported from the Sahara and calm, clear waters perfect for swimming. The best part? It’s free to enjoy! 🌊 For a more dramatic setting, I visited Playa Jardín, with its black volcanic sand and lush gardens designed by artist César Manrique. 🖤🌴 It’s also free to access, and the contrast of the dark sand with the blue ocean was mesmerizing. Nearby, Puerto de la Cruz is a charming town with plenty of shops and local restaurants. If you want adventure, Playa del Duque is ideal for water sports and luxury vibes. Tenerife’s beaches are perfect for relaxing, exploring, and enjoying the island’s beauty. #TenerifeBeaches #GoldenSands #VolcanicViews #PlayaDeLasTeresitas #BeachEscape #IslandVibes

#chillandthrill Tenerife, Spain, was an absolute gem! 🌞🏝️ I spent most of my time exploring Teide National Park, home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. 🚠 The cable car ride to the top (about €27 round-trip) offered breathtaking views of the island and surrounding landscapes—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! At the base, I hiked some trails through volcanic landscapes. ⛰️ I also visited the charming town of La Orotava, with its beautiful cobbled streets and stunning architecture. 🏡 Free to wander, it felt like stepping into a postcard! Another must-see was Siam Park, the world-renowned water park—tickets cost around €38, but it was worth every penny for the fun and thrill. 🌊 Tenerife’s mix of nature, adventure, and vibrant culture made it the perfect getaway. #TenerifeVibes #MountTeide #SiamParkFun #VolcanicLandscapes #SpanishEscape #IslandAdventure
