Walking Routes From Tenerife’s Resorts

Tenerife is gaining a reputation as a top walking destination with a diverse countryside that offers a range of hiking routes that most places could only dream about.

South Tenerife Lifeguards: More Serious than Baywatch

There was no missing the smiles aimed in the direction of the guys I was chatting to on the beach! This was one cute bunch of guys, and the girls giggling on their beach towel were clearly attracted to them.

Bored Sunbathing? Try Something Different on Tenerife’s Beaches

I like to get prone on the beach and to soak up a few rays. However, after about an hour I get fidgety. If I’ve got a good book then I’m sorted, but if not the boredom soon creeps in.
Luckily, for people like me, there’s more happening on the beaches on Tenerife beaches than just rows of comatose people turning different shades of red and brown.
