Big cleanup
-
Collected the whole bag of cigarette butts, mostly scattered around trash bins!! How lazy you have to be to miss a bin only 1-2 meters away.. =(

Benijo beach and friend's bday
-
Drove up from San Andres to Anaga mountains - one of the greenest areas in Tenerife if not the greenest!
-
The road is surrounded by forests and goes through a tunnel, which brings you to the other side of the island :)
-
Not too sunny Taganana village :)
-
Benijo beach or Playa de Benijo, where we had our small walking up& down the steps' exercise as we realised that the tide was too high to even put a blanket and lay down..
-
Took some photos though.. hehe (Edu's face expression says it all about his love and attitude to selfies..)))
-
So we came up and drove a little back to Almaciga beach - more wide and flat than Benijo.
-
Felt sooo good to just sit / lay down on the warm, black sand beach, stretch out legs and read the book, while my handsome, crazy man was beach running and swimming in a 15' degrees water the next day after half-marathon. Quite helps for a quick recovery actually, so I did it too =)
-
<3 <3 <3
-
Then we had a company of seagulls; we fed them and headed back home as it was almost sunset, hence a bit nippy))
-
So much LOVE for your warmth and beauty, Tenerife.
-
At Jacques' house, where there're always fresh flowers and good vibes :)
-
Happy Bday!!! He's got a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l house which he's planning to turn into a small boutique hotel (??)) one day :)
Below some mad pics of me next to BBQ with lotsa meat (no, I'haven't tasted a one piece!!!! Only zucchinis & grilled tomatoes, yum!))) p.s. All the cooked meat was eaten by the boys, nothing's been wasted.
-
Next day we've got my car fixed hence I looked so happy on this shot by Edu (he drove parallel on the traffic light to say 'Hi'))) Love him. And this car =)

Puerto de la Cruz
-
Some random cards and thoughts.. from Puerto de la Cruz about a month ago
-
It was a stormy day, so the Atlantic ocean was quite rough but ohh so beautiful!.
-
Interesting to think and observe how with the time people adjust their lives around water. Esp in the north of Tenerife where there's still some local life presented, and hotel industry & tourists haven't invaded it completely. Yet..
-
Ppl have adjusted their living and money making, sort of submerging into nature
-
Also interesting to see what nature (and ocean) can do without human intervening... doesn't have to be long really, just a couple of years can completely change the picture.
-
We think we have our almighty G-d who'll protect us, so we create these saint idols, we build churches to praise them and the G-d.. believing it can change something. While the nature, - the whole universe including ourselves - is really G-d itself.
-
And we can only accept it as a fact, sometimes the best thing to do
-
Ok now I need another coffee please.. X

Weekend
-
Los Abrigos has offered sunshine and turquoise water on Saturday
-
There are two beaches on side of a big rock, we went to the less crowded one (above beach with the only one person was the 'crowded' one, lol)
-
Our 'Russian tank' aka Land Rover that we warmly call 'Chakachanchan' :)
-
Teide in calima haze on the distance
-
Found a perfect spot right at the sea
-
Then drove to La Tejita / El Medano area for a lunch at Bombay Babu restaurant (our fav with Indian food... Yumm!!)
-
El Sotavento area in El Medano (the restaurant is on the right hand side at that commercial center)
-
Tenerife has really everything you're looking for activity wise: kite surfing beach for instance :)
-
El Medano 'city' :)
-
ONe of the most dangerous junctions imo, - between El Medano and Los Abrigos roads
-
Sad to see so much rubbish on side of the road..(((
-
..and along TF-1 autopista. So much of infrastructure really !! While Internet connection is still way far from perfect.
-
But the growing interest and amount of wind turbines is defo a good news for the island' environment =)
-
Small 'pueblitos' along the way on TF-1 motorway
-
Cloudy La Esperanza - always beautiful and green, but chilly
-
Edu driving his Chakachanchan <3
-
..and me taking photos of La Esperanza
-
Sunny spot in La Laguna!
-
And back to Santa Cruz: cloudy, some traffic, - a normal city life
-
One of the greenest places in SC Tenerife - Plaza Weyler
-
A Tenerife version of NYC' Central Park - Parque Garcia Sanabria. Love this place a lot <3
