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. I’m not a good photographer, so I tried to put these colours in my mind for ever. And, believe it or not, on this bald peak I found vegetation. It was a kind of daisy ...

Tenerife presents his nature

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
The last time I was visiting the Canary Islands I prefered to stay on Tenerife which is one of the the most beautiful islands in this area. I don't wanna be like the other tourists, so I decided with my family to stay in a private apartemant instead of an hotel room so we can do the whole day what we want. The most impressive in the time on Tenerife was beside the really good and wonderful conditions for swimming that the nature all around this place is so asthonishing and perfect that we were every day on a few places just to watch them. That Tenerife can present this wonderful landscape depends on their origin out of volcano activities. Punta de Teno The good thing about it is that the poeple on the canary islands know this ...

Family Vacation on Tenerife

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011
Tenerife is one of my favourite vacation locations. The climate is mild and springlike all year round and there are many things to see and to do on the island. I like to combine a few relaxing days on the beach with some sightseeing and adventure and Tenerife offers many options. Me and my family enjoy staying at Puerto de la Cruz. The town has a long tradition as a tourist center, well known for its relaxing atmosphere. During the daytime the sand beach and the lush, tropical gardens of the city invite for some hours of sunbathing and swimming. In the evenings the restaurants in the area around Plaza del Charco offer good food and family entertainment.

Sunrise on the top of Mount Teide Excursion

Sunday, March 1st, 2009
Hotels, beaches, nature, crowds of tourists, food and clubs. These are the well-known attractions of the Island of Tenerife. Sonnenaufgang But it does not seem so exotic any more. Volcanoes of Tenerife make this place look so special! Have you ever heard about Mount Teide? This place has hardly been touched by the modern civilization. There are 600 volcanoes on the island of Tenerife and Mount Teide is the highest and most impressive one. It is like a mysterious unknown world. The volcano is sleeping (last eruption in 1909), and the access to danger is what attracts most. The Teide Parque Nacional is a small paradise for those who love nature, hiking or trekking. Nothing can stop you from enjoying the beauty of the virgin place. Even the air smells different. Sonnenuntergang If you want, you can spend the ...

The most charming places for you on Tenerife

Friday, August 1st, 2008
Tenerife offers a variable landscape spectrum. Enclosing the bizarre rock formations, which are from a volcanic origin and the craters in the area of Las Cañadas. The area of Las Cañadas with 2000 m of altitude overlooks the drough ocher coloured landscape of the south of the islands, where the most frequented beaches are situated. Teno am Wasser The Teno-range in the west of Tenerife and the Anaga-mountains are a famous destination for active holiday makers and those who like hiking and exploring.
