Steve1962 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thought I'd share a few snaps from my recent short break in Tenerife....... Former coastal defence castillo, now converted to an art gallery. Patchwork quilt covering this property, also saw some adorning palm trees in the square close by... Anybody seen my surfboard....... I went for a dip in here, very invigorating..... Saw a bit of wildlife too....... This fella was people watching..... Some of the waves were quite dramatic.... We stayed in Puerto de la Cruz in the north of the island and had a lovely time.

roadscholar Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Always wondered what that place looked like. Nice photos, thanks. Link to comment

ArmyGuy Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Wow! Looks like a fun island to visit. Link to comment
Steve1962 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 We didn't venture too far from the hotel, just the 10 min walk into Puerto de la Cruz, but there's plenty to see and do. The weather in the north tends to be a bit more inclement - we had four days of sunshine out of six, but even when cloudy the temp was warm. A few more snaps....... These were just behind the castillo........ By the old harbour....... Pretty front to this property, typical of the area..... Look at the top of the image..... Detail on a cannon....... "No, I do not know where Marty Hill is".......... Mount Teide, volcano. Steve Link to comment

Speaking of Suzuki, am picking up a 3 yr old 1.6 petrol SX4 (20k on the clock) on saturday ....... - already have the 1.3ddis Swift (2008) which has proved a prudent purchase so hopefully we should have many miles of trouble free travel ahead .

Marty Hill Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 That's what I'm afraid of. Remember last time I left the bike at the hotel and rented a car due to the never ending rain. Link to comment
