Hordes of tourists and some dodgy roads

Hard to believe how underrated it is...
Tamaragua Tour To Teide National Park
wise23girl Says: After stopping at the the little town of La Orotava with the House of the Balconies we soon arrived at the harsh moon like country that surrounds Pico del Teide (3,718 m). Where Niel Armstrong walked on the moon we were told. Good roads for bicycle riders, that is if you are...

Wanted: Perfect italian place!
LNata Says: Unfortunately, the place does not exist any more. The restaurant which is open instead (something of Balcan food) of this one is just one more soulless place for tourists (don't care about today's tourist, tomorrow other will come) :(((Located on a lower level o promenade...
Cafe de Paris: Waltzing to Archi Duo
wise23girl Says: The cafe seems to be quiet about 8.30pm. Then a couple of guys come in and turn on the disco lights, take the covers off the musical instruments and by nine o clock the music starts. The people start to drift in.Trumpet and keyboard to entertain and one of the musicians does...
Maria250 Says: Tenerife is well served by its airports with routes from and to the other Canary Islands, Europe and beyond. There are two airports on the island of Tenerife, one on the north side (Tenerife Norte, TFN) and the other one on the south of the island (Tenerife Sur, TFS). Both...
La Casa De Los Balconies: Genuine Isla de Tenerife Gifts
wise23girl Says: There are two shops opposite each other in the little street full of gifts for the eager tourist in La Orotava. The big difference is that both offer genuine "Made in Isla de Tenerife" articles.You can actually see some of the articles being made right there..In one shop the...
painterdave Says: In any good Canarian restaurant you are going to find the sauces called Mojos. Red and green, this sauces accompanies papas arrugadas (small potatoes), fish meat and breads. This sauce tastes only a bit similar than mexican salsa, but has its own unique flavor mostly because...
King_Golo Says: As Tenerife is located amidst a lot of water - basically, a whole ocean - there tend to be quite windy areas. The tradewinds (viento alisio) from northwest are saturated with humidity which means that they create dense clouds as soon as they come across an obstacle, such as...
wise23girl Says: Because of the unusual weather patterns of Isla de Tenerife you could be unlucky enough to miss the views entirely.Some days it is so cloudy up "in the clouds" you will not see a thing so your trip is in vain. So stay at the time of year you are most likely to be sure of...
Pram not needed for Playa de Americas
derego Says: Well, we spent the whole of last week at Playa de Americas, splendid time, especially now when back in cold.Plenty of families were checking their prams into our charter plane. Painful task, and perhaps even expensive, especially when there are prams etc for rent (20e per...
King_Golo Says: If you follow TF-121 to the village of Igueste you can go to a beach where hardly any tourist ever goes to. It's only a small strip of black lava sands with some rocks scattered over it, but it's really nice not to have to listen to Germans and English the whole time....
painterdave Says: There has been a lot of building of condos and hotels on Tenerife. Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos seemed to be jam packed with these one after another multiple dwellings. For us, one morning walking the boardwalk and viewing the multiple shops was enough to make us...

The Canary Islands...a name that has always meant something to me… Members of my family used to spend their holidays there when I was a little girl, and I always imagined Tenerife so far away and so...

That Friday afternoon I was given a list of four possibilities: Tenerife, Malaga, Lisbon, or Bordeaux. Now you know I love my France, but Bordeaux didn't quite offer the tropical and/or warm beachy......
