    Feet covered with black
    sand...
    by mabu
    The main reason to go these places is of course the sun and the sea.
    All these beaches have been man made! The sand was made out of stones from the sea bed or of lava stones of the island. The sand is very fine and grey or black.

    As there are thousands of tourists and not much beaches they get prety crouded.

    When you get out of the water and look at your feet they will probably look like mine did...

    Waterfall at Hell's gorge
    by jel118981
    It's a very popular walk in the harsh and arid south Tenerife landscape, that takes 2-3 hours and is approx. 5 km. The town of Adeje is the starting point, along the path you will find interesting vegetation, the walk ends at a waterfall that is not particularly exciting in it but it's quite unexpected in such a dry landscape.
    I will not recommed it if you suffer from vertigo.

    Tour to Mount Teide (3718 m)

    Rent a car and drive up Mount Teide. It's a phantastic experience! Within about 45 minutes, you drive from sea level up to about 2500 m at the base of the gondola that goes almost to the top of Mount Teide.
    On your way up, you see the landscape changing rapidly. The higher you go, the lower the temperatures and the more precipitation.

    Tenerife's north coast

    Tenerife's north coast
    by Veghel
    The north coast of Tenerife is very different from the touristical south coast.

    The landscape is colourful, with lots of trees and flowers. Along the coast line there are many banana plantages.

    The villages are still very quiet and people don't speak German or English.

    The northwest of Tenerife is a beautiful area with deep valleys and steep rocks. The orientation of the slopes determines if they are brown (south-faced) or greed (north-faced).

    by Veghel
    The picture is taken at 3550 m at the top station of the Teide gondola lift. The real top of Teide (3718 m) is only accessible if you have special permission from the Authorities in Santa Cruz.
    From the top station of the lift, two footpaths go in opposite directions. Take them both

    Warning: take warm clothes with you. Long pants and trouses are the minimum, a suitable jacket is advised.

    Tip: be there early in the moning and take the first gondola up. If you arrive later, there may be long queues and the sky is less clear.

    Lizzard on Mount Teide
    by Veghel
    There are numerous lizzards on Mount Teide and the surrounding areas. In some places, these friendly animals are used to tourists and you can approach them very closely to make beautiful pictures.
    The size of the lizzards: I think 10 to 15 cm on average, so rather small.
