Touring Tenerife, What’s a Girl to Do!

Just recently we spent a month touring the Island of Tenerife. Mainly to gather more information for our travel Web Site on Tenerife [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/], although the occasional bit of sunbathing just had to be done! Pete and I work well together, and now have a Web Site

Hush Now Little Ones

Hush now little ones! Auntie Jane is having a sunbath and trying to read her book. For our extra days spent on the Island of Tenerife, we decided to try an all-inclusive package. Normally we would not choose this type of deal, but wanted to see what it was like

From Alcala, to Golf del Sur, to El Medano

From Alcala we headed south, arrived in Gulf del Sur, disappointed this time with our accommodation at The Aguamarina Hotel. It is not what we expected, should have booked the Ritz Resort [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/resorts/amarilla-golf/ritz-resort-amarilla-golf] in Amarilla Golf. But it did not come up on our

We left the North of Tenerife to travel south.

We left the North of Tenerife [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/tenerife-island/north-tenerife] to travel south. The bus had to come down a very windey road from the mountains. We were nearly sick! It was like being on a ride at Alton Towers for hour and a half in hot temperatures.

La Laguna

Spent two days in La Laguna [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/tenerife-island/towns-villages/la-laguna], typical Spanish town. Tourism is not encouraged, so we had to speak Spanish. La Laguna is an old town in the Mountains. Sunny during the day, very chilly at night. I did not bring too many warm

Anaga Mountains and Teide Volcano

Been rather busy the last few days, we wanted to see the unspoilt side of Tenerife. Hired a car to drive through the rugged Anaga Mountains, stopped at small resorts along the coast. These villages are still largely untouched by tourism. Drove up the Volcano where the sun is much

La Laguna and the Gypsy Curse

We took a bus today up to La Laguna [http://etenerifeholidays.co.uk/tenerife-island/towns-villages/la-laguna], which is the oldest settlement on the Island. There is a lot of history there, but not many tourists visit. We really liked it there, and have booked to stay next week. However after

A Bit More About our Hotel

I am relaxing in the Lido on the seafront. Pete wants to do a write up on the facilities available in here. I would maybe use it for a bit of sunbathing, although my sunbed does feel a bit hard. [![Hotel Beatriz Atlantis Jacuzzi Room](https://res.cloudinary.com/etenerifeholidays/
