Travelogue Tenerife

Monday, August 15th, 2011
Two years ago I’ve been on the most populous island of the Canary Islands, Tenerife. I lived in a fancy finca in the country for one week and I rented a car, of course, to see all the highlights of this volcanic island. Teide First of all I visited the Mt. Teide, the highest mountain in Spain. You can ride a cable-car to the summit. And I had an unrivalled view on the lunar-like landscape. You can see all the colours of different types of rock, orange, green, rust, black and beige. For good photographers a must, to eternalise this fascinating view in pictures.

My travel to Tenerife Island in the last Summer

Sunday, May 15th, 2011
In the last summer I traveled in my holidays to Tenerife Island. My hotel was located in Playa de las Americas, this is in the south of the island.
