trattoria portofino: gloomy place but quite good food, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  On our last night we had thought to have a really nice dinner in one of the restaurants in in the mirador "shopping centre"... We wanted to eat outside but there was a really bad smell of sewage, so we decided to walk on... and found nothing to our taste until we reached... 

kamakura japanese restaurant: mix sushi= two sorts of fish

kamakura japanese restaurant: mix sushi= two sorts of fish, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  This Japanese restaurant is located inside the Sheraton La Caleta Resort & Spa... the night we wanted to eat there was fully booked and it took us a few days to find a night when they had a table for us, so because of this we had high expectations... A total disappointment:... 

pizza, pasta e vino: italian owners - italian food

pizza, pasta e vino: italian owners - italian food, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  Every time we are in a new location, we go check out the local Sheraton hotel, just because hubby used to work there so many "ceturies" ago. While going there we spotted this Italian restaurant - recently opened and tucked away in a corner. We were not sure that we wanted to... 

celso: had the feeling we weren't welcome

celso: had the feeling we weren't welcome, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  One day, when we walked to La caleta, we stopped at this fish restaurant to have lunch: it looked really simple and seemed to be one of these places where locals go for excellent food. In fact, they have a menu in several languages and all the people eating there very... 

exotica: gelateria artigianale italiana

exotica: gelateria artigianale italiana, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  This great simple place is located in one of the tiny establishments located along Playa de Fañabe: it's run by friendly Italian people and serves delicious illy coffee an home-made ice-creams The coffee - of course - is superb... but what really got me was the... 

Ricon de la Fuente: overlooking the bay, sea and the promenade

Ricon de la Fuente: overlooking the bay, sea and the promenade, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  We stopped one night some days after new year's eve at this small cafe bar and sat outside, in comfortable armchairs near a little "fuente" (fountain). The location, along the promenade, is very scenic - and the place itself quite cosy. Mhh hard to tell: what we had wanted... 

la farola del mar: very fresh fish and seafood

la farola del mar: very fresh fish and seafood, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  A great fish and seafood restaurant in a very touristy location and surrounded by other similar restaurants. The farola del mar lies near playa fanabe, at the farthest sided towards la caleta. Take a look at all the fish restaurants nearby: this is the one with the freshest...

Lots of Nightlife...: What do you want?

Lots of Nightlife...: What do you want?, Adeje

 mabu Says:  The region offers Nightlife for every taste. Next to the animation programmes of the Hotels there are lots of bars, pubs a casino and discos to be visited. If you're not up to things like that you can have a nice walk along the beach promenade and enjoy the lights and the... 

Transportation  

Bus

Bus, Adeje

 mabu Says:  Teneriffe has got a good bus network. The firm runing the busses is called "TITSA" Transportes Interurbanos de Tenerife S.A. Nearly every village can be reached by bus, even if there's only 3 busses a day. On the more important routes busses run frequently. From the south... 

Local Customs  

january weather

january weather, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  The weather... this is what I really loved in Tenerife. Sun, 25+ degrees celsius in January all day long (and even at night - see picture), and very little wind. So much better than staying at home and suffer the Swiss winter. 

Papas arrugadas

Papas arrugadas, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  Papas arrugadas are a local speciality of the Canary islands and their name means wrinkly potatoes - because when they are served they have "wrinkles". To create these wrinkles is quite simple: they take very small new potatoes and boiled them with their skins in very little... 

Tourist Traps  

just for tourists...

just for tourists..., Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  Just for tourists...but, in an island that's a massive tourist trap (but with great weather and a stunning vegetation), sand artists are a welcome sight: this one dug out of local grey sand the head and hands of a man emerging from deep down underground. An excellent... 

Off The Beaten Path  

aloe park

aloe park, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  The Aloe Park, before being a tourist attraction, is a very large organic aloe farm. Once you get there you will be taken around in a guided tour and they will explain you all about aloe farming and its therapeutic uses. You can also see many cacti from all around the world,...

playa de las Américas, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  Massive development reigns here, in playa de las Américas everything reminds you that you are a tourist and that you are there to 1) spend money 2) have fun. The beach is very long, with grey sands and lined with everything you might need to spend the day (and night). I did...

playa del duque, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  This lovely beach is located in Costa Adeje - to be more precise in one of the newest areas - next to the very posh Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque. It's a 700 metres long beach with calm waters and has some fine grey sand. There are changing cabins, toilets and you can rent sun...

nature and its beauty

nature and its beauty, Adeje

 call_me_rhia Says:  Tenerife is called the island of eternal spring - and, aside the most perfect weather - is rich in simple natiral beauties. I'm talking about three things:- the mountains- the rock formations- the vegetation. What I really adored - and what the ever-present concrete could...
