Exploring Tenerife’s Rugged Anaga Mountains
The first time we set foot in the Anaga Mountains in the far north east of Tenerife we were totally blown away. The rugged terrain of proud peaks, emerald slopes and a scattering of tiny hamlets didn't fit in with the picture of Tenerife that had been fed to us by various print and TV media sources.
Homemade Pizza and Pasta at Tressardi
Tressardi Restaurant in the La Paz district of Puerto de la Cruz is one of those places that's always busy and wandering past its covered outside terrace is a test of willpower as the unmistakeable aroma of fresh pizza hits the nostrils.
Holiday Dress Canarian Style

La Terrasse had already caught my eye with special opening offers at the Apolo commercial centre in Los Cristianos and faced with ham, tomato, and grated emmental cheese with a beer, wine, or water for €5.40 I couldn’t resist.

Experience Tenerife Like A Celebrity
For those who have the wallets to match their egos; want to feel like a VIP for that special anniversary or who are just fed up to the back teeth with the words 'crisis' and 'austerity', there are no shortage of ways to part with your cash on our tropical paradise.
Alien Hairdressers & Robots in Puerto de la Cruz, it Must be Mueca
For three days in May artistic anarchy is the order of the day in Puerto de la Cruz as Mueca, the international festival of art in the street, transforms the town into a surreal wonderland.
