Taking the high road is an expensive business

Monday, April 30th, 2007
The remote and mountainous north west corner of Tenerife has received a major boost with news that work has started on what is likely to be the most expensive stretch of road anywhere in the Canary Islands. The new road, between Adeje in the south west and Santiago del Teide in the north west, is one of the few remaining sections required to complete the island’s equivalent of London’s M25 orbital motorway. The civil engineering challenges to be faced in the project are huge, with tunnels, viaducts, underpasses and overpasses all figuring in the construction work, which it is estimated will cost a staggering €168,000,000. Critics of the scheme, led by the environmental lobby, say it will cost much more than that. The building of another section of the road, between San ...

In the Puerto de la Cruz area, the best known is Playa de los Patos, about a half-hour’s walk from Puerto. Access is not easy but it is highly recommended by local naturists because of its seclusion.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the most important week in the religious calendar in Tenerife, the start of Semana Santa, or Holy Week.
