Stunning autumn in Tacoronte, Northern Tenerife

3 October, 2020 21:51

Hey guys! How's your weekend going? We've been in Tacoronte (Northern part of Tenerife) yesterday with Edu - a spontaneous decision that proved once again to be a good one. The less you plan something (unless buying a property or marrying, perhaps?))), the better outcome can be. Because you don't have expectations ;) Life would be SO much easier if we all haven't had them, eh?)

  • rainbow, tacoronte, Santa Cruz
    It was drizzling when we left Santa Cruz, and on our way to Tacoronte we saw this beautiful, large rainbow over the city!
  • Tacoronte, northern tenerife
    Arriving to beautiful, green Tacoronte surrounded by jungle looking plants and palm trees growing everywhere thanks to humidity and cooler temps.
  • atlantic ocean, dramaric clouds, tacoronte, tenerife
    Dramatic rainy clouds and Atlantic ocean's mirror underneath, through the car window
  • rock formations hovering
    Beautiful, old rock formations hanging over the road
  • Suddenly :))

You can easily find this spot as Tacoronte' Natural pools, exit 17 from the busy TF-5, a bit of curvy, steep serpentine, - and you are in paradise <3 . 

  • babe, selfie
    "Babe, let's take a selfie...
  • babe, smile
    ...oh, but can you smile??" =D
  • abandoned house, pathway, rock sliding
    Abandoned bar or a house and a remote beach with closed access to it due to occasional landslides and half destroyed pathway..(any trespassing is strictly under your responsibility).
  • Intruder))
  • casa winter, tenerife
    Tenerife version of Casa Winter (?)) #ноЭтоНеТочно
  • church, closed, covid
    Local examples of architectural construction :) (the church entrance is somewhat 'friendly closed' due to Covid-19)
  • sunset, dramatic clouds, iphone
    Obviously, the phone doesn't do any justice to the true sunset colours, so we will have to come back with proper cameras, ideally after rain in order to get similar dramatic clouds in the sky...
  • raining cats and dogs, tenerife
    On our way back it started raining cats and dogs (and elephants, for that matter!!))), that turned into strongest fog that is quite typical for the northern part of Tenerife.
  • tenerife fog
    But as soon as we were back on the coast, the air turned really warm, rain stopped, fog disappeared, and life was overall back to its 'normality', making us thinking of this little trip as a small, sudden adventure :)

Also when we came back from our beach walk to the parking, we met two amazing hippie guys, Katya and Vova, who were from Ukraine and Georgia (I mean, - what are the odds of it, right??!!)))) and who came to Tenerife from literally the very furtherest parts of the world (like Goa in India).

 

We talked while we gave them a lift to the bus terminal, and Edu and I we both realised how much we miss travelling and such nomadic lifestyle that represents Freedom at its best. They told us that they enjoy this way of living, they are happy to be constantly moving around, but that, unfortunately, they also got kicked out of the caves where they stayed, peacefully living by the beach and not doing ANY harm to anyone, - yet they had to be 'evicted'. Apparently, these people are more of a problem than large abandoned hotels / residential buildings on the Canarian coast, that are NEVER finished and that destroy MUCH more environment, than these poor guys... Really sad!. I wish them good luck and hope they've managed to get to their destination point safe and sound in that rainy evening. Maybe one day I'll be able to bring them to the south or help in some other way :)
