As the weather was supposed to be quite changable today (and I felt more like having another lazy afternoon), I decided against a bigger excursion today. Instead, I went hiking in the hills around my Taganana. This meant that I was already familiar with (some of) the views. Still, it was a nice hike. Continue reading Taganana in Anaga

Wild Anaga North coast
Today, I (presumably) reached the easternmost point of my Anaga excursions: I hiked from the village of Benijo to the hamlet of El Draguillo. Continue reading Wild Anaga North coast

Lots of bends to the sea
Slowly, I am working my way East in the Anaga mountains: Already on the day before, I had a view of Afur from Taborno. Today, I drove to the former village, and hiked from there to Playa del Tamadite. Continue reading Lots of bends to the sea

From the English peak to Tenerife’s Matterhorn
Today, I opted for a bit shorter hike: First, I descended from Pico del Inglés to Taborno. From there, I circled around Roque de Taborno. Continue reading From the English peak to Tenerife’s Matterhorn

From mountain to sea
I want to dedicate the next few days of my holidays to the Anaga mountains in the North East of the island of Tenerife. In other to get an idea of the different altitude levels of this nature park, I decided to start with a hike from the view point Cruz del Carmen (at almost 1000 metres above sea level) to Punta del Hidalgo (at the coast).

New week, new island
At the start of my second (full) week of holidays on the Canary Islands, I took the ferry to the next island: Tenerife. I will spend the rest of my holidays there – even though the title might indicate that I will be switching islands weekly now. However, Tenerife is larger than Gran Canaria. So, I will (hopefully) not be bored. Continue reading New week, new island

Wild coast, ancient culture
Today, I wanted to visit the town of Gáldar. As the Cueva Pintada, a museum about the pre-hispanic Indigenous inhabitants of the island, only opened at 11 a.m., I also had time for a bit of exploration of the wild West coast to the North of Puerto de las Nieves.

Valley of Wine and Coffee
I was looking forward to today’s hike since I read about it in some blog. The blog authors were praising it highly, so that I had really high expectations. Luckily, the trail did live up to its reputation. So, I had a great (half) day in the Valley of Agaete. Continue reading Valley of Wine and Coffee

The West coast of Gran Canaria
On my last day with a rental car in Gran Canaria, I (once again) explored some windy mountain roads – this time the road connecting the South coast with the West coast of the island. Continue reading The West coast of Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is in Africa!
Today, I said farewell to Gran Canaria’s interior, and returned to the coast. I hiked trough the sand dunes of Maspalomas, which given a certain desert vibe – if it was not for the large number of tourists, that is. Continue reading Gran Canaria is in Africa!
