The flat comprises 3 large bedrooms, all fully fitted and furnished, 2 bathrooms, large living area, separate kitchen brand new with the best quality appliances, balcony and interior patio that can be used for a washing machine.

The main bedroom is very large and light, with a window that opens onto the balcony, with a very pretty view of the sea. The second bedroom straight off the living room faces the interior patio, but is also very light and airy. It’s decorated to high standards with a fitted wardrobe. And finally the third bedroom is at the end of the corridor, it also benefits from a lot of light and has a spacious fitted wardrobe. The bedrooms are all large and fully furnished.

The main bathroom is complete with a bath, bidet, and a sink stand furniture for extra storage.

The other bath is a separate toilet with a sink, perfect for a large family. Both bathrooms have been totally renovated and redecorated.

The living space is very large and bright, it connects with the corridor that goes to the bedroom, the kitchen entrance and at the back end is the beautiful balcony with amazing sea views.

The kitchen is completely new, it has been just fitted. The result is amazing as you can see in the photos. All new units and doors, as well as new tiles, floor, ceiling, lamp, lights and appliances. Off the kitchen is a room to use as storage and to have a washer and dryer.

The kitchen benefits from a lot of light thanks to a glass brick wall that it has being fitted to maximize the light coming from the living room, the result is beautiful.

The building is 30 years old but very well maintained (the flat has been completely re-wired during the renovation).  It has a new lift and right in front there is a beautiful park called Parque García Estrada where you can have walks or simply sit and enjoy the views and the sunshine.

The building also benefits from having two entrances we can use. The main entrance is at the Puerto Franco road, but if we take the lift to the 5th floor we can go out the back way that takes us straight into the middle of San Agustín, a large shopping area where you can find everything: banks, butchers, all kinds of shops, taxi, supermarkets… So close to your door step that makes it very convenient.

The windows and doors of the flat, inside and outside are made of solid wood. The flat comes fully fitted and it has recently been totally renovated (end of 2011).

Costa Adeje in the south of Tenerife is a very desireble area, always good weather, sunshine, fantastic beaches and lovely views from pretty much every where.

The Blue Marlin Restaurant is one of those right in front of the sea. Right by the beach of La Pinta in Costa Adeje. The place is beautiful and the installations of the restaurant are OK, but the food is simply awful. I was there two weeks ago with my husband and our children. I ordered what I thought it was a fantastic salad called :”Fantasía del Mar”. In the menu they said this was “particularily excellent quality”. The truth is that the salad came in a rather large plate, with a couple of lettuce leaves, two big pieces of tomatoes, two peeled prawns, a little bit and tuna and a couple of black olives with the pips, and NO DRESSING. It was really dissapointing food. Also if I reveal that they charge me 8.80€ for that.

Not only that, the saussages that I ordered for my little son tasted like dog food. The garlic bread was also very plain and expensive and the drinks seems to come all out of a barrill, for the beer that would be Ok, but the pop like the lemonade I ordered seem to come from a barrill too.

I must say that this was a very dissaponinting experience eating out in the south of Tenerife. There are here in Tenerife some really good places to eat, but we wanted to try somewhere different and I must say it did not go well.

In the north of the island of Tenerife there are uncountable gorgeous places to eat all different kinds of food, from traditional canarian to delicious thai food. The south of Tenerife we are exploring more to get to know better

Christmas in Tenerife is a little unusual. Canarians live Christmas to the full, but the weather doesn’t usually get cold enough to
have snow in Mount Teide (the only place where we can find snow in Tenerife). Christmas decorations in Tenerife in shops and
shopping centres are displayed at middle of October. And then, at the end of november or beggining of december, every little town in
the island of Tenerife is decorated for the Christmas holidays. Some towns are worth visiting at night to appreciate the beautiful
Christmas lights displays. Like the usual one in La Orotava, Los Realejos and Santa Cruz.
Christmas Eve in Tenerife is the biggest celebration of the year, along with New Year’s Eve. On Christmas Eve the whole family get
together to celebrate Christmas. Although there isn’t a a traditional Christmas meal of Tenerife, the sweets are very important and
traditional. Turrón, polvorones and peladillas is the most traditional Christmas sweets. Turrón is a hard bar of melted sugar with
peanuts, really delicious. And of course, there are many variations of turrón. The original one is hard with peanuts, but now days
there are all imaginable flavours and different textures. Like soft turrón, chocolate, walnuts and cream and so on…
Polvorones, also very traditional, are made with flour, lard and sugar (often have ground almonds and nuts)and this is baked into a
biscuit, very tasty. All of these traditional Christmas sweets in Tenerife, and in the rest of Spain, are accompanied by a glass of
spanish cider.
People in Tenerife would be celebrating Christmas Eve in family up until late. Eating langostins, serrano ham, solomillo steaks,
loads of traditional sweets and cider. On the 25th, everybody is in bed or simply watching Christmas television programs. All the
shops and restaurants would be closed, therefore is no one in the streets. Santa Claus is not traditional in Tenerife, so there is
not present exchange until the sixth of January, “Three Magic Kings Day”.
So, while in most parts of the world Christmas comes and goes in one night, in Spain, and in Tenerife the party is only started.
Everybody get really excited, the shops are packed with late shoppers. For two weeks, the atmosphere is beautiful and exciting at
Christmas in Tenerife.
At this time of year, the weather in Tenerife is rather unexpected. While in the north of the island the weather usually gets cooler, in the south of Tenerife the sunshine would be hot enough to bathe at sea. So, as expected, Tenerife is very busy with tourism around Christmas and prices of hotels go up a lot. But the amazing thing is how you could be enjoying a sunny and cosy holidays on Christmas in Tenerife. The south of the island usually mantains hot and sunny all through the year, while the north is cosy and more family type of Christmas holiday.
The Nativity recreation is something worth seeing on Christmas Eve in Tenerife. There many different representations in different towns. The Living Nativity in Tigaiga, Los Realejos is really beautiful and done by the locals of the town of Los Realejos.Is being done now for the last 35 years.

It is believed that the name of La Orotava, was released by the Guanches formerly calledArautava or Arautapala that area, although no one knows their exact origin. The Guanches that lived in La Orotava, they did on their shores, in the larger ravines and slopes
where it was easier to get food and means to survive.
La Orotava takes great care in his appearance, especially during the holidays, the streets are decorated in a special form which also kept the town pretty neat.
Some monuments and attractions of La Orotava are:
The church of La Concepción, a national monument, was built in the mid XVIII. The church of San Juan Bautista, located in the neighborhood of Farrobo, in the Village of Above, the hospital of the Holy Trinity and Church of San Francisco, church and former convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán etc. ..
We also find historic houses such as La Orotava, the home of the balconies of Lercaro, Monteverde, Ponte and Franchy etc. .. are a typical old houses and mansions.
Some are devoted to events even in some of them are small hermitages.
In La Orotava find mills, where they were dedicated and some of them still working to make the grinding gofio CEREAL, have come to count up to 13 mills of which still exist 10 and 3 continue to work with relatively modern technology.
In La Orotava is important to make a stop at the Liceo Taoro (ex falnasterio of Taoro) with its impressive gardens to come today as various events take place like weddings, meetings, etc … take a stroll through the Plaza de la Constitution known to slum dwellers, ”Plaza kiosk, kiosk by the popular” Anita “, enjoy the gardens of the Marquis of the Quinta Roja or “Victoria Gardens” which is the pantheon of Don Diego de Ponte Marquis de la Quinta Roja, which was built by her mother Dona Sebastiana de Castillo.
The town of Orotava in Tenerife is form in stepped down slope, crossed by roads. These roads are design drawing in representation of energy channels and chakras of Eastern culture.
Several beaches such as the beach Bollullo, the Patos and Ancon are not very easy to get to. But they are beautiful beaches are steep because of their location.
La Orotava is well known for its Corpus Christy and the celebration of San Isidro Labrador. In Corpus Christy they draw in the floor religious motifs and painted with flower petals and colour sand, they called it “alfombras” (rugs). Also they have a dance party where all participants enjoy attending with their traditional Canarian costumes.
La Orotava is the pride of the slum dwellers and admired by visitors.

Mount Teide or, in Spanish, Pico del Teide , is the highest elevation in Spain and the islands of the Atlantic (it is the third largest volcano in the world from its base, after Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea located in Hawaii). It is an active volcano which last erupted in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the Santiago (northwestern) rift and is located on Tenerife, Canary Islands. The volcano and its surroundings comprise the Teide National Park (Parque Nacional del Teide in Spanish). The park has an area of 18900 hectares and was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on June 29, 2007. Since the end of 2007, it has also been one of the Twelve Treasures of Spain. Midway up the mountain are the telescopes of the Observatorio del Teide. Territorially it belongs, for the most part, to the municipality of La Orotava, including also Icod de los Vinos, Los Realejos, Guía de Isora and ten more.
Teide is the most visited National Park in the Canary Islands and Spain, with a total of 2.8 million visitors, according to the Instituto Canario de Estadística (ISTAC). According to data for 2004, with its 3.5 million visitors annually, this volcanic landscape receives a large number of international visitors, second only to Mount Fuji in Japan. In 2010, Teide became the most visited national park in Europe and second worldwide. Teide is the most famous natural landmark in Tenerife and the Canary Islands.
Teide is a stratovolcano. At 3718 m above sea level, and approximately 7500 m above the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, it is the highest mountain in Spain, highest point in the Atlantic Ocean and the 13th highest mountain in the European Union excluding the Alps. (Note: The actual summit stands 3 metres (10 ft) higher than the triangulation station, and associated bench mark, which has an altitude of 3,715 m (12,188 ft)). The island of Tenerife itself is the third largest volcanic ocean island on Earth by volume. Teide is also the third highest volcano on a volcanic ocean island. It is also unstable and possibly in a more advanced stage of deformation and failure than the much publicised Cumbre Vieja. The United Nations Committee for Disaster Mitigation designated Teide as a Decade Volcano, because of its history of destructive eruptions and its proximity to several large towns, of which the closest are Garachico, Icod de los Vinos and Puerto de la Cruz.
