Workation on the Canary Islands
In fall 2022, I tried out something new: I combined (a bit over) three weeks of vacations with (a bit under) three weeks of teleworking. In total, I spent six weeks on the Canary Islands – more precisely, on Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
Looking back on my first workation

A second (work) week in Los Gigantes
My second week of teleworking from Los Gigantes was basically very similar to the first one. The main difference is that it was shorter: I am already flying home today (ie. on Thursday). Other than that, I spent my free time again with swimming and watching the sunset. Continue reading A second (work) week in Los Gigantes

Walking through hell
As hiking around Los Gigantes is not that easy (as already explained in the last blog entry), I took the bus towards the South today. I decided to explore a very popular canyon: Barranco del Infierno. Continue reading Walking through hell

Hiking above Los Gigantes
As I am spending some time working in Los Gigantes, I also wanted to go hiking in the area. However, this turned out to be not that easy, as a lot of hiking trails are closed due to the danger of rockfalls – which is maybe not too surprising if you consider the steep Los Gigantes cliffs. Still, I finally managed to find a nice, albeit rather short hike from Tamaimo down to Los Gigantes. Continue reading Hiking above Los Gigantes

A (work) week in Los Gigantes
After my vaction, it is time for teleworking again. This time, I am based in Los Gigantes on the (South) West coast of Tenerife. Compared to my first work week in Gran Canaria, I may have explored the area a bit less, and concentrated more on swimming in the sea – but that is nothing to complain about, especially in mid-November.

Ending my vacation at a leisurely pace
My last vacation day was a rather relaxing one: I only had 24 kilometres to drive – and that is all I did. However, I took the opportunity to stop at the village of Masca on the way. Continue reading Ending my vacation at a leisurely pace

Staying in Los Carrizales valley
For the past two days, I have already been looking over Los Carrizales valley from the terrace of my apartment. So, it was only fitting to explore this valley on foot today. For that, I opted to hike the Abache trail to Roque de Abache. Continue reading Staying in Los Carrizales valley

At 1000 meters on the Teno plateau
Originally, I wanted to have a relaxing day today. However, just after 9 a.m., as the sun was cresting the hills (and peaking through the clouds), I got antsy again. So, I went on the hike that I had originally planned for the next day. In the end, I was very happy that I did, because it was a gorgeous hike – and who knows how the weather will be on the next day?
