November 30, 2024,El Medano to Montana Roja
One last hike before flight back home 😢

Montana Roja was the main point about the hike, but also included was an excursion to Playa de la Tejita for the only dip during my one-week Tenerife holiday.

Hoping to be back soon, feels like I've only touched the island so far!
September 12, 2022,El Medano und Montana Roja
Today was a beach and bathing day at our favorite beach near El Medano, a surfer hotspot, but no wind today - good for us bathers!

El Medano is packed with people. We grab a snack at the new Venezuelan restaurant and the wind suddenly disappears. Back in La Tejita, …

No wind and not that warm, so ideal conditions to go to Montaña Roja again and then eat pan con tomate at Fefo.
