As we spent most of our holidays in Tenerife in the south of the island, this is were we also discovered various places and attractions not only for children. In general, the south of Tenerife is much more touristic than the north and, for example, all water parks are located there. We did avoid places such as Playa de las Americas, but we did not avoid the temptation and took our children to Siam Park, which was obviously called as…
El Teide volcanoEl Teide volcano towering over the entire island is the highest peak in Spain with a height of 3,715 m above sea level. The cable car goes up to 3,555 m above sea level and that’s as far as Gabriela and I managed to get. Tomasz managed to reach the top! But first things first.To reach the top of the volcano, we need a special permit. It is free, but only 200 people a day can get it…
We spent a total of 8 days in Tenerife in January 2022, two of which we slept in a hotel in Puerto de la Cruz and from there, we set off to explore the northern part of the island. We didn’t have much time to thoroughly explore the area, but we’d love to share our impressions with you! Anaga Rural ParkTo start with, a beautiful protected area in the northeastern part of the island called Anaga Rural Park. It is…
We refused to travel to the Canaries for so many years, but have now found ourselves going there for the second time in a very short time 🙂 But not on the same island of course. This time it fell on Tenerife, and the idea was once again hatched by our friends from Brussels, who planned their stay there throughout the Christmas holidays. We decided to join them in the first week of January. Of course, it was not without…
We have already written about places worth visiting in the south of the island (including Maspalomas dunes, Fataga ravine, picturesque Puerto de Mogan), as well as about our greatest delight, i.e. Barranco de las Vacas (along with Tobas de Colores) and Barranco de Guayadeque. Hence now it’s time to write about interesting spots in the north of the island. We went to this side of the island twice and were able to experience both the beautiful nature and taste wine…
Barranco de las Vacas together with the famous Tobas de Colores and Barranco de Guayadeque, i.e. two neighboring ravines, deserve their own separate blog post. That’s where we went on our first trip and immediately fell in love with the Canarian landscapes. We started the day with Barranco de las Vacas. We wanted to see the famous Tobas de Colores, or rock formations resembling the American Antelope Canyon. From the articles found on the Internet, we knew that it is…
Gran Canaria, and especially its southern part, is mainly associated with beaches. However, we decided to check what the island has to offer off the beaten track. Why?First of all, we are not big fans of sunbathing, especially if we only have a week off. It’s just a waste of time, and higher state of laziness 🙂 It’s different during 2-3 weeks’ vacation, then we can settle down for a few days without any remorse. But in order not to…
I have to admit that we have never been drawn to the Canary Islands. We have always associated them with trips organized via a travel agency and all-inclusive hotels (which we always avoid) and a lot of pensioners from the UK and Scandinavia. When Gabriela was born, we initially thought that this is where we would go on vacation, because it seems to be popular among families with children. But we tried other destinations instead, fell in love with Asia…
