One of this year’s resolutions was to start learning to travel with an open mind and low expectations. As I arrived on Tenerife, I was taken aback by its incredible development and use of its natural beauty.
This Spanish island is home to Mount Teide, an active volcano that towers at an impressive 3,715 meters and is the highest mountain in Spain. Take a drive around the volcano or opt for an adrenaline rush by taking the cable car to climb above the clouds.
Discover the island’s gorgeous beaches, many of which are made up of sand imported from the Sahara. My personal favorite is Abama, where the crystal-clear water and soft sand will make you feel like you’re on a tropical paradise. Visit the charming cities of Tenerife, including the picturesque San Cristobal de la Laguna, with its pedestrian-friendly streets and Instagram-worthy buildings.
Don’t miss a trip to Loro Parque, where you can witness gorillas, siberian tigers and be entertained by incredible shows featuring dolphins, orcas, sea lions and parrots.
Tenerife has a variety of accommodations to suit every traveler’s budget, from budget-friendly hostels to luxury resorts. There are also plenty of dining options, serving both traditional Spanish cuisine and international dishes. My personal recommendation is to rent a car for a few days, as the public transportation is not so reliable.
Thank you, Tenerife, for leaving such a nice impression on me. I can’t wait to come back soon.
