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 ...

To go on an excursion to Tenerife

Friday, July 15th, 2011

The largest of the seven Canary Islands is Tenerife. About 43% of the Canarian inhabitants live there, and among tourists Tenerife is the most popular of the Canaries. In February 1999 my friends and I decided to book flights to Tenerife as we wanted to spend a great time at the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Before the trip we had created extraordinary costumes for our participation in that special event. We really enjoyed having parties in the streets, dancing to music of Caribbean rhythms, drinking Sangría and meeting people from anywhere. There were many interesting bands and orchestras playing in the streets. The atmosphere was just brilliant! I guess you can imagine we did not sleep too much. My personal highlight was DJ Armand Van Helden´s performance at the Santa Cruz Dance Carnival on Monday of Carnival....

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.

I was shocked, because my first impression of the south was like an desert. If the trees and plants don´t get water from the resorts, then nothing would grow up there. But it looks very nice. The name of our hotel was "Los Hibiscus", a very nice location. There you can find a swimingpool and the rooms are with balcony. The beach was only 10 minutes away from the hotel. The beach has black sand, but at some bays they put white sand, so it looks like classic beaches. Because of historical reasons, the island arised by volcano activities, the sand has it´s black colour....

Tenerife, golfers paradise

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

For the passionate golfer Tenerife is like paradise. The island counts 9 courses, each with its own particular character and set in the middle of the beautiful landscapes of the island. The climate on Tenerife is very comfortable with temperatures that rarely get too high to practice physical activities, so for sports conditions are almost ideal. The most popular courses are in the south, but some people seem to prefer the northern part of the island that is more green and also offers some very nice golfing facilities. What makes the golf courses of Tenerife so attractive is the care with which they are laid out, giving the impression of a genuine Canarian garden. Some courses have very reasonable prices and special offers for families. Tenerife has many attractions to offer but it is certainly a place to consider, if one likes to spend ...

Sports and nature on Tenerife

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Who wants to spend his holiday far away from mass tourism and tourist hustle and bustle thinks would feel well on the isle of Tenerife. Small country hotels, holiday cottages, chalets and fincas offer the adequate accommodation. One can book his holiday through various tour operators or without any problems directly by the Internet. esperanza ausblick

Tenerife is not one of the cheapest holiday destinations, but with a bit of luck you can find a good bargain. Journeys to the isle of Tenerife are particularly popular at Easter, Whitsun, Christmas and New Year's Eve. However, unfortunately, this boom has a very strong influence on the prices. The island of Tenerife offers extensive possibilities to everyone who wants to practice physical activities and does not only want to lie on the beach in the sun. Über den Wolken
