buenavista
Whilst staying at the Buenavista Vincci Hotel here on Tenerife, we found a special place by the seafront that we could walk to in around twenty minutes. The coastline here is very rugged, and unspoilt. There is a walk right along the front; you need to watch out though, as

Here at Vincci Golf & Spa Hotel in Buenavista we have just seen a couple, Graham & Tayah, that we met in 2012 when we were all staying at Red Level in Alcala [https://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/blog/events-at-gran-melia-resort-in-alcala], Tenerife.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife
I found an arts and craft shop in Santa Cruz city centre [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/tenerife-island/santa-cruz-de-tenerife/santa-cruz-de-tenerife] , full of gorgeous coloured goodies.

Harvey and Max have been on many holidays to France, both were excited about their week’s holiday to Tenerife [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/]. The flight is around four hours, so mum and Dad don’t have too much of a challenge to keep the boys amused. As the plane
Garachico
While touring around Tenerife we spent a couple of days in the small town of Garachico. I saw these delightful felt broaches in a restaurant. The little faces look great pinned onto jumpers, jackets, and hats. The broaches were displayed on a pin board in the restaurant, and cost a

Dirty Harrys this is what I call those eight leg creepy crawlies that make us girls cringe. I don’t know about you, but I always do a bed check before I get in and a boot check before I put them on. Having said this, if I come across
