I'm from Tenerife and TH-cam has suggested me your video for some reason. I love your selection of places and I have to congratulate you because you have made a beautiful trip, normally tourism comes looking for sun and beach/swimming pools and this island has many beautiful places and a lot of magical nature to offer. Your video moved me, I hope you come back one day and do a chapter two! :)
Thank you for your kind words. We had an amazing time on your home Island and it‘s a big compliment when a local likes my video. Hope to be back one day! 😄
Dude, I watched tens of videos about Tenerife and none of them sold me on it. Yours did. Very informative and well made. It's a crime that your channel is not more popular
Oh wow, thank you for watching and your kind words 😄 I‘m glad you liked it. I try my best to put out more and more travel guides so I hope the channel will keep growing!
A good video BUT , please viewers do not swim in the natural pool at Crab Island ,Los Gigantes . We lived on Crab Island for nearly twenty years. The waves coming over into that pool unexpectedly swept many swimmers out across the rocks and claimed too many lives over the years. When the waves do not refresh the pool it is the local dog bath.
There are some warning signs and there was a gate which was locked when the sea was rough …. That got broken down. As for your comment looks like I’ll be a victim , not so funny when you have been smashed against the rocks , your body plucked from the sea by the winch man hanging from the rescue helicopter , then you are carried , lifeless dangling from the helicopter to the harbour where they can land.
I too have seen some poor guy dragged out into the Atlantic after a large wave hit the pool. We were in the Barcelo on my balcony. The man was a great swimmer who managed to stay afloat for over 30 minutes in rough surf until a Spanish rescue helicopter rescued him. We thought he might end up crushed on the rocks. Pretty gut wrenching to witness this. This little bay is a very beautiful but dangerous part of Tenerife.
Great video, I’ve been to Tenerife about 6/7 times before and not done half of what you’ve shown on his video, going in April and have every single one on my list! Thankyou!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. I‘m happy that my video could give you some new things to do and discover in Tenerife! Enjoy your holiday 😄
I have been to Los Gigantes, swam in the Natural Pools and visited Santa Cruz, but not yet going to Mount Teide, snorkeling, visiting banana plantations, Siam Park, and the rest of activities mentioned in your video. Going to Siam Park in December
great video. last time we stay in the north and decided to drive the island full circle. we left the hotel and drove a full 360. took us about 3 hrs but it was so fun and gorgeous. we go almost every year so this video gave more ideas to look at when we get back in 2024
Brilliant video! I am also from Tenerife and you really have summed up the island and its beauties. There is also another town called Puerto de la Cruz where the sister tourist atraction of Siam Park is situated called Loro Parque which is basically the island's zoo if your are interested in going there. Puerto de la Cruz is also a nice place to get away from the touristy area even though it is still quite popular, there's loads of small local caffe's, restaurants, ice-cream shops and casual shops around. Also in the area there is a Botanico Garden where there is a Spa-Hotel not far away where you can go and relax and also view the room where Michael Jackson stayed in if you find that sort of thing intesting. An additional note to Anaga is that you can access it by boat from Los Gigantes to the bottom and hike up, if I remember correctly it is a yellow boat that does a mini tour of the cliffs and you can get on and off at different stops. If you're interested in trying the local food of the island, there are several locations that you can visit around the island that have different specialities between the coast and the mountains, my personal favourites are Canarian Chicken (Chicken pieces usually fried and with a spicy or non spicy maranade which is also used as a sauce to dip your potatoes and bread in and also Alioli) with the sides of Canarian potatoes and the house salads and the variety of seafood especially in the small fishing towns like Las Galletas, La Caleta, Los Abrigos and many more. But there's also loads of places to visit if you like your meats and also vegetarian options around If you like watersports I recommend trying out surfing where in locations such as Las Americas and El Médano you can enjoy from begginers to profesional clases as well as other watersports. Up beside El Teide there is an Observatory which you can also visit where there is world famous telescopes and is a perfet place if you love looking ant the night sky and learn about the telescopes themselves. There are obviously other places along the island that are popular for local and tourists but I personally don't recommend as I think that the island has so many more things to adventure than just for example to go clubing. At the top of my head the things that I would say to be alert on is the pickpockets and scammers that there are, mainly in the touristy areas.
Oh wow, thank you so much for all these additional recommendations! I definitely put them on my list for the next time I'll be visiting your beautiful Island.
Personally I'm glad Loro Parque was skipped, it's unethical to keep whales in tanks barely bigger than a swimming pool. I had a much better time going out on eco-friendly whales spotting tours, the kind that stay a safe and respectful distance. You're other suggestions sound great though.
From some Tenerife YT videos you'd think that the north doesn't exist and the south is just cafes serving English food. Thank you for being adventurous and for showing us the true range of activities and scenery on the island!
Good point. In my opinion the south of Tenerife actually sucks. All these "great" resorts with small, mediocre, artificial beaches are a waste of time. On the south I only liked El Medano with interesting group of mini beaches, small time vibe and Roja Mountain nearby. On the other hand the north and Teide National Park are amazing. I highly recommend hiking all the way up to the summit. Amazing experience. The second highest peak, Pico Viejo is also unbelievable. Massive crater. And Anaga mountains. I was there in the first days of summer and the weather was like in Scotland. I couldn't believe it. 20 degrees and raining 4 times a day. On Tenerife weather changes drastically in a matter of merely few miles. Something to experience on your own.
@@fiucik1 both north and south of Tenerife is great. But if you dont like the hot and beaches you go to the north. I like to hike and i like to swim and i enjoyed both north and south of tenerife
@@ThePaderborners Oh but I do love hot and nice beaches, that's why I was so disappointed with the south. Not only the beaches were mediocre at best, the weather was far from perfect, quite windy, very cloudy and not that worm. About 22-24 degrees at the end of June... Big resorts, luxurious hotels and...no that's all south has to offer.
I'm from Tenerife and although I'm living in a different island for work, I really liked your selection! People who want to actually enjoy the island but stay down south miss out on all the good stuff. Oh and loved the brief geographical explanation, I'm sure it'll also be super helpful! I hope they take your advice and explore! I'd love to settle up north someday, near the forests and La Laguna. Only thing I'd like to mention is if you could not skip the "el" in "El Teide". When articles are there in names they're part of the name! And in this case it comes from a single old word, "Echeide". This happens a lot, so if you do more places in the Canaries or Tenerife itself, keep it in mind!
@@adoviy Puerto, Santa Cruz and La Laguna are the best in my opinion, but it depends on your necessities and needs cause they're quite different (but still pretty close especially with a car)
Loved this video! Subscribed! One question, how did you get to those amazing views at Anaga at the end? Does that hike have a name? Is it a tough hike? Travelling to Tenerife next week! Thanks for the video!
Hey Lou. Thank you for watching and your kind words. The hike goes around the „Roque de Taborno“ at the southern coast of the Anaga Rural Park. If you google this you will find all the details. It‘s about 4km and for sure it requires basic fitness level, hiking shoes and enough water on the way. It‘s a shorter hike, about 2-3 hours so it should be manageable for most people who are used to go hiking every once in a while. Enjoy your time in Tenerife!
Our group of 4 just returned from Tenerife, we stayed at Costa Adeje fir a week and everyone agreed this island is a paradise. We were even lucky enough to play with baby sharks while snorkeling at Playa El Dungue! There were coral fish as well. The water and the whole island is so pristine, clean and the weather is just perfect 😍
What a wonderful video. I am watching this having just been there and can relate a lot to what you have done and described. Tenerife is truly a destination for EVERYONE. I'm an explorer, while my partner is someone who prefers to lie in the sun on the beach. You can imagine my joy at discovering Los Gigantes!!! One small remark about the transport. The bus infrastructure is simply sub-par. Unless we were missing something with Google Maps / Titsa physical timetables, buses simply do their own thing, including not showing up. We eventually got a hire car (39 a day from Evano for a hybrid) and it simply is the only way to travel efficiently in my opinion. Thanks again for the video and I look forward to seeing more!
Hey Luke, thank you for your kind comment and for watching the video. I'm glad to hear that you and your partner had a great time on Tenerife! Oh well, the routes and the descriptions of the bus network looked pretty fine to me. But yeah if they just don't show up that's bad 😅 Thanks for pointing that out, so maybe it's just better to hire a car if you want to go to a lot of places.
I'm from Tenerife and I love your video, specially how many different places you visited. Most tourists only visit Los Cristianos and surroundings, and they leave the north part of our island, for me the best part. Great vid!
I was at las Margaritas banana plantation - amazing place, brought banana wine, kofio and many other items there! Was really cool and people working there were so friendly!
Really enjoyed watching this video. Very informative and helpful. We will be there during Christmas, so your tips and suggestions will definitely come handy. Thank you very much
Thanks for watching and your kind words! I am very happy that I could help you with planning your trip. Enjoy Tenerife, I am sure you will have a great Christmas there 🏝️😄
Thank you for your video. I am planning to visit Tenerife next month for 4 days 3 night I wish I booked more days. But i'm planing to have 2 night in south and 1 night in north.
I wish I watched your video before our trip this year in the summer. We stayed south with the kids like usual holiday makers would do. Although we had fantastic time been out to the sea saw turtle and pilot whales, and Siam park. I wish we visited the banana plantation which would be a great learning experience for the whole family. We spent a day in the north visiting the Loro park and did experience the misty climate and saw the rain forest on the hill. Would be amazing to have a trial inside. Well that would be the plan for the next trip and thank you for a great video!
Just come across this video as we are taking our six year old daughter on her first holiday outside of the UK next month to the island. Even though you don't cover the resort we are staying in (Puerto de la Cruz) it was well put together and informative.
Oh wow, I‘m sure you will have a great family vacation on Tenerife! I hope you could get some ideas for the trip! Thanks for watching and your kind comment 😄
Sandro, another good product! Hope your viewers give you credit for breaking out of the south of Tenerife. When I was there, I stayed in Puerto de la Cruz, which has black sand beaches and the large Lago Martianez pool complex on the coast. And Loro Parque (sister park to Siam) wasn't too far away. During the summer, Siam Park used to reopen on Saturday nights. This was a perfect time to go as families with kids it was too late for, underpopulating the park making for short wait times on all of the rides. Also, at night one doesn't have to worry about sunburn. Hope you can visit Madeira in your series. Stay somewhere near The Wine Lodges in Funchal, as those are across the street from a city park where you can sit to edit videos while enjoying a latte, etc. And the harbor is a 5-minute walk away from The Wine Lodges as well. Many levadas to hike on Madeira. Plus, this hike at altitude: th-cam.com/video/YQ1GuPpsl3c/w-d-xo.html&t
Hey Tom, thanks for your kind words. It sounds like you had a great time in Tenerife too! It‘s just a beautiful spot, and visiting the Siam Park at night sounds great! Thanks for sharing the Maderia tipp, the video looks great and I‘m sure I would enjoy it. It‘s definitely on my list now 😉
Hey Juhi, that's so kind, thanks for letting me know. It makes me really happy to know that my videos actually help people with their adventures! Hope you have a great time in Tenerife!
Thank you so much for this video!! I am planning a surprise trip for my boyfriend and it has been so hard to get concrete information about the best spots!!!! Amazing video :)
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and your kind words, I appreciate it. I hope you will have a great time with your boyfriend on Tenerife. 😄
We went there last Aug 21 2022 few weeks ago and it's amazing place for summer holiday, and we made videos about the amazing island as we are a traveler couple too. Nice video.
Thanks a lot for sharing your adventure list 🤩 I'm really excited and have already written down several points to visit in my nearest vacation in a month 😀
Great video! We visited Tenerife last year and I cant wait to come back to explore more! Will definitely use the tip of the north hike, as we didnt cover it at first time.
This is a really well done video. Very well structured, clear, concise, helpful explanations. Good mix of well-knows hotspots (Teide, Siam park) and less-frequented ideas. Thank you so much! Merci vielmaus!
fantastic video Sandro! tenerife is on my list, in fact i am considering moving there for the entire winter, so i am looking forward to watch it again once I am there!
Thank you for your kind words Lenka! Oh that's definitely a good plan. I'd rather spend my winter there as well :) Hope my video will help you to discover the island.
Thank you for watching ang sharing your thoughts Jorge. I had a great time in Tenerife so it was easy to pack all of those travel tips into a video. I will, there are more travel guides in the making so stay tuned 😄
Great video. I owned an apartment in Playa de la Arenas for 25 years, sold it 12 years ago. I concur with the remarks (below) regarding the Crabb Island pool over the years quite a number of people have died being washed off the rocks, also the beach at Playa de la Arenas has a serious rip tide that will take you out to sea in an instant if there is a big swell. That said Tenerife is a beautiful island and you have managed to get this across in your video. Maybe another time you can include some footage of the great restaurants that still serve traditional Canarian food and some of these are in dramatic locations (El Burgado, Buenavista springs to mind)
Thanks for watching and your helpful comment. It's definitely important to be careful when you are swimming in the ocan. Even if it seems to be protected by the pools... And yeah I kind of missed out a bit on the food and the culutre, but I definitely will include it next time I visit Tenerife! 😃
Ancient Tenerife legend speaks of a man, a man who lived before modern Cruz Roja ambulances and medic cars, named Raul Roja. But people called him… El Ambulancero! Whenever his amigos were hurt or sick, El Ambulancero raced to the rescue con coraje [with courage] astride his horse, Ambu [short for ‘ambulancia’], who was always ready to rescue his friends in need. The siren sound of an ambulancia started his theme song, ‘La Leyenda de El Ambulancero!’ [Leyenda = Legend in Spanish] as a guitar version of the sound was moving into the first line about how his descendant Roberto wanted revenge against the diseases and illnesses that plagued El Medano and Las Galletas! "¡Adelante, Ambu! ¡Yah!" he yelled, as Ambu trotted out of his stables at a salon, the Roja Roost, aiming for his target, a pool man named Kiki. “Gracias, Ambulancero. I owe you one!” Kiki gasped, as he was rescued from drowning by Roberto. A girl named Sirena was relaxing near the rocks past Margaza Jetty, where she ran up to Roberto and teamed up with him, cheering her first rescuee up with a cute whistle imitation of a Spanish three-toned siren, winking at him and showing off her orange nails, glittering like the warning lights on the vehicles. “Hey, Ambulancero, I’m your biggest fan~! I know your favourite makes of ambulancia, your catchphrases, EVERYTHING! Can I please join you?!” she beamed, smiling at Roberto. “Si. Ambulanci-arriba!” he smiled, winking back at her as she hopped on board her horse, La Brilla Naranja. They were like the Lone Ranger and Tonto, basically. La Ambulancera, aka Sirena, was so famous that she had her own makeup line, ‘Cosmedico [Cosmetics + medico, ‘doctor’ in Spanish] sold at shops across the Canary Islands, even all over the world! She had handbags too, with the words “Ambulanci-arriba’ printed on them, that went well with skirts that had a frilly EKG line at the hem. She and Roberto were normal doctors by day, but when the clinics closed for the night, they rushed to their horses and galloped off to fight ghostly viruses and infectors from beyond the grave! Oh Dios mio, that’s scary! “Aw, it’s okay, kid. Leave it to los heroes to fight off those bad bugs~!” she reassured Nate Lee’s cousin Vinnie, as he was feeling a bit sad about his dad Steve being in the hospital, and she whipped out her weapon, El Látigo de Llenelo, which filled him with strength and life. “Oh my gosh, Senorita Sirena, your bright orange nails look soooooo cute~!” his sister Angelica aka Jelly smiled, hanging out with her. “Gracias, sweetie. Hey, whenever you’re feeling a bit sad, just smile! ¡Sonríe!” Sirena beamed, winking at her. “Why are you sooooo cute, Sirena?!” Amelia “Amy” Lee blurted, as she picked up an El Ambulancero toy Látigo de Llenelo [Filling Whip] and showed it to her Gran, Melita. “Tu hermano just thought us up, and his comic book came to life, materialising us into tu mundo, bringing our enemies along, so you’d better be cuidado.” she warned, as legions of Insectos Infectores [Infector Insects] swarmed the family and Nate dove for cover. Daniel “Big Dan” Seccombe was drinking some Dorada beer, unaware that one of them was after his skin and flesh! “Látigo de Llenelo, modo defibrilador. ¡Choque sónico!” [Filling Whip, defibrillator mode. Sonic Shock!] Sirena yelled, as she charged her weapon and shocked that annoying pest, it disintegrating and falling into the sea. “Hola, Roberto. God Almighty! Did you just pop out of Nate’s comic book?!” Terry gasped as he ran into Roberto, who was curing a patient. “Si. I was just un medico normal until I found this magical red cross which imbued me with awesome healing powers, wow! Esto es mi caballo, Ambu.” “¡Lléname!” he called to Sirena, which is the Spanish word for “Fill me up!”, and she threw him a Cruz Roja Cherry energy drink. He downed it in one gulp, ambulancia sirens playing and rising in pitch as he powered up. The whole of Tenerife cheered him on by chanting his theme song: “There’s this legend of the vigilante, El Ambulancero. To cure Tenerife of viruses and bugs, vamonos, let’s go! He ain’t no ordinary doctor or medico, he’ll cure you like the pure blue sea! With his horse Ambu, his mejor amigo, he flashes right by you and me! Hagámoslo, LET’S GO! EL AMBULANCERO!” They became so famous that there was a videogame series, a cartoon, AND McDonald’s Happy Meal toys! When the normal ambulances get stuck in traffic, Ambu the horse can speed through alley ways where the trucks and vans can’t go through, and when they arrive at the scene at El Medano they help the lifeguards take stranded people out the sea. They become so famous they become advertised in the airports all around Tenerife. Roberto got his powers by finding a weird ancient stick used by the ancient Aztecs, and he deals with the supernatural illnesses, not just the plain chicken pox. “Hey, chicos, when Ambu and El Ambulancero ride by, we’ll sneak attack him and La Ambulancera.” Coleria, the don of El Cartel Canceroso [the Cancerous Cartel], was saying to his minions as they lay in wait. “Your little disease spreading day is over, Coleria!” Sirena called, as she whipped him and his minions with the Látigo de Llenelo. “Maldito seas... [Damn you…] EL AMBULANCERO Y LA AMBULANCERA!!!" he growled, being shocked and disintegrated into virus-sized dust! “That raised my blood pressure a bit!” Jason gasped, as he checked it with his little machine. “Hey, Roberto, wanna buy some churros with me?” Vinnie suggested, after El Ambulancero untransformed and finished his mission. “Vamonos, Vinnie. Hey, when tu papa was in el hospital, La Ambulancera whipped out her Látigo de Llenelo and its magical healing powers whipped him back into good health!” Roberto replied, as they both went to the churros place in El Medano near Creperia La Boheme. Roberto and Sirena became so famous that Jet2holidays even played their theme song at boarding!
Hey man, thanks for watching! That‘s the good thing about Tenerife, it is always nice and warm. Also it depends a bit where you stay on the island since the northern part is a bit cooler but more humid and south of the mountains it can get very hot in the summer months but probably nice in winter. So it‘s up to you. If you have the chance to dodge the main tourist holiday season you will have a more quiet experience for sure. Enjoy Tenerife 🏝️😄
Thanks for watching, I'm glad that the video was helpful. It's the hike to the "Roque de Taborno". You should be able to find it on google. Have fun in Tenerife!
Hey Martina, thanks for watching. I think the name was "Ocean View Apartment" in Los Gigantes. On Air BnB there are many apartments like this in that area.
Great video with a lot of information, but one thing you been missing out on, is the 200+ coffeshops around the island, basically little Amsterdam, but so much better 😂🎉
What an amazing travel guide video! I love the way how you presented it, very informative and very useful. Hope one day I can visit this wonderful Teneriffa and surely your video will be a great reference^^ Thanks so much for producing and sharing this video! Happy travel 😊
Great video you provided a lot of informations I could get a good view how Tenerife is, I never been there yet. like the animated map, would like to know where you got this map and how its animated. Best regards from Northern Norway
Hey Alex, thanks for watching! I looked around for some inspiration of "cartoon maps" of Tenerife, and then made my own in Adobe Illustrator. You can break the composition apart in single objects and drag them into After Effects where you can animate them. Was quite a lot of work ;)
Thanks for watching! We rented the car with Avis, so nothing special, but it worked well. We just had to take a shuttle bus from the airport to get to their office. Enjoy Tenerife, it‘s a magical place! 😄
I will be travelling to Tenerife in a few months. I will be staying down South and was looking for guide around driving up towards North, specifically accessing the Anaga Mountain trail. Your video was so informative and crisp, thank you for such detailed recommendations. Special shoutout to the great cinematography, that was cherry on the cake.
Hope you will have a great time in Tenerife. Thanks for your kind comment, I really appreciate it and I'm glad that my video was helpful to plan your trip. That's the reason why I'm putting this work into my channel :). And thanks for noticing the camera work, I do my best to make it look nice.
South sucks if you're interested in more than just lying on the beach. Or actually swimming in the ocean, cause even lying on the beach is better up North. It's actually beyond my power of understanding why so many people go the south of Tenerife. If you just want beach holiday, there are so many better places in Europe, or even in Spain to visit. Best beach on Tenerife is nothing in comparison to the average beach on Mallorca. And it is much shorter flight from wherever in Europe you are...
@@fiucik1 "It's actually beyond my power of understanding why so many people go the south of Tenerife" Thats because you think your point ov view is the correct one
@@ThePaderborners Well obviously. But my point of view is based on experience. I'm not a full time traveler, but I've been here and there, and south of the Tenerife was the biggest disappointment I've experienced in quite a while. You think that beaches in the south are better than these on Mallorca, Fuerteventura, or even Bulgaria?
Yeah, a trip to Tenerife is always a great idea! Sure, since Tenerife is part of Spain they have the EU Drone law. You will have to register as a drone pilot on the official website but since your drone is below 250g there is no need to pass a test. There are many flight maps where you can check the zones for any restrictions. Have fun 😀
Hi Sandro! Thanks for This video, is great !!!! Useful consice and inspiring ❤❤❤❤❤ You really helped us to organize what to do in the island! Hope you continue like this!
I visit Tenerife once a year (sometimes twice if i'm lucky and have the funds available) and you listed some places even I wasn't aware of. I've always skipped Siam Park because their sister attraction Loro Parque was an absolute low point. Other than the magnificent penguin enclosure the rest of the zoo was unfortunately a step back in time for animal welfare - performing animal shows, tiny cramped enclosures for pretty much every animal. It was also the most expensive zoo I've ever been to and they clearly aren't spending that money on improving conditions.
Great and helpful video. I will travel to the northern part in a few weeks. I visited the south a few years ago. A question - did you miss or intentionally exclude Loro Parque? it is suposed to be on of the best zoos in the world.
Thanks for your kind comment, I hope you will have a great time there! No it was not intentionally, we did not have enough days and I'm not a big fan of keeping animals in captivity.
Excellent video! ❤ I'm definitely going to follow in your footsteps while in Tenerife! Good job👍 One question...What program do you use do prepare these little animations like in 1:47 ? 🤔
Hey, thank you so much. I hope you will have a great time on the island. I drew the map of Tenerife in Illustrator based on some inspiration I found on the Internet. If you put all the elements on a single layer you then can make great animations in Adobe After Effects. It is a very old video of mine, but here I basically describe the process: th-cam.com/video/4-ElUmZFweQ/w-d-xo.html 😅
I‘m glad Dexter stopped killing people and offering incredible traveling recommendations instead - thank you!
You‘re welcome, I guess 😅

How is the life there? How avarafe person lives? I am very interested
Dude, I watched tens of videos about Tenerife and none of them sold me on it. Yours did. Very informative and well made. It's a crime that your channel is not more popular
Oh wow, thank you for watching and your kind words 😄 I‘m glad you liked it. I try my best to put out more and more travel guides so I hope the channel will keep growing!
A good video BUT , please viewers do not swim in the natural pool at Crab Island ,Los Gigantes . We lived on Crab Island for nearly twenty years. The waves coming over into that pool unexpectedly swept many swimmers out across the rocks and claimed too many lives over the years. When the waves do not refresh the pool it is the local dog bath.
Oh wow, I did not know that! When we where there it seemed to be quite safe but yeah I guess it depends very much on the see. Thanks for the warning.
Looks like I’m gonna become a victim lol
I hope they have warning signs
There are some warning signs and there was a gate which was locked when the sea was rough …. That got broken down.
As for your comment looks like I’ll be a victim , not so funny when you have been smashed against the rocks , your body plucked from the sea by the winch man hanging from the rescue helicopter , then you are carried , lifeless dangling from the helicopter to the harbour where they can land.
I too have seen some poor guy dragged out into the Atlantic after a large wave hit the pool. We were in the Barcelo on my balcony. The man was a great swimmer who managed to stay afloat for over 30 minutes in rough surf until a Spanish rescue helicopter rescued him. We thought he might end up crushed on the rocks. Pretty gut wrenching to witness this. This little bay is a very beautiful but dangerous part of Tenerife.

I have been to Los Gigantes, swam in the Natural Pools and visited Santa Cruz, but not yet going to Mount Teide, snorkeling, visiting banana plantations, Siam Park, and the rest of activities mentioned in your video. Going to Siam Park in December
Great, I hope you enjoyed all of those things as much as I did!
great video. last time we stay in the north and decided to drive the island full circle. we left the hotel and drove a full 360. took us about 3 hrs but it was so fun and gorgeous.
we go almost every year so this video gave more ideas to look at when we get back in 2024
Wow, thanks for watching and sharing your Tenerife experience. It‘s really a beautiful spot and for sure there is always more to explore 😄
An cool video, what's even crazier is the fact that the owner of Finca las Margaritas is my landlord
Oh what a small world ☺️ Thanks for watching and say hi to them next time you will meetv😉
This gives me nostalgia from when I used ro live in this paradise for four years ):
Oh, nice. Must be great to spend this amount of time on the island!
@@sandrorossimiss the times..
Brilliant video! I am also from Tenerife and you really have summed up the island and its beauties.
There is also another town called Puerto de la Cruz where the sister tourist atraction of Siam Park is situated called Loro Parque which is basically the island's zoo if your are interested in going there. Puerto de la Cruz is also a nice place to get away from the touristy area even though it is still quite popular, there's loads of small local caffe's, restaurants, ice-cream shops and casual shops around. Also in the area there is a Botanico Garden where there is a Spa-Hotel not far away where you can go and relax and also view the room where Michael Jackson stayed in if you find that sort of thing intesting.
An additional note to Anaga is that you can access it by boat from Los Gigantes to the bottom and hike up, if I remember correctly it is a yellow boat that does a mini tour of the cliffs and you can get on and off at different stops.
If you're interested in trying the local food of the island, there are several locations that you can visit around the island that have different specialities between the coast and the mountains, my personal favourites are Canarian Chicken (Chicken pieces usually fried and with a spicy or non spicy maranade which is also used as a sauce to dip your potatoes and bread in and also Alioli) with the sides of Canarian potatoes and the house salads and the variety of seafood especially in the small fishing towns like Las Galletas, La Caleta, Los Abrigos and many more. But there's also loads of places to visit if you like your meats and also vegetarian options around
If you like watersports I recommend trying out surfing where in locations such as Las Americas and El Médano you can enjoy from begginers to profesional clases as well as other watersports.
Up beside El Teide there is an Observatory which you can also visit where there is world famous telescopes and is a perfet place if you love looking ant the night sky and learn about the telescopes themselves.
There are obviously other places along the island that are popular for local and tourists but I personally don't recommend as I think that the island has so many more things to adventure than just for example to go clubing. At the top of my head the things that I would say to be alert on is the pickpockets and scammers that there are, mainly in the touristy areas.
Oh wow, thank you so much for all these additional recommendations! I definitely put them on my list for the next time I'll be visiting your beautiful Island.
Tell us about scammers
Personally I'm glad Loro Parque was skipped, it's unethical to keep whales in tanks barely bigger than a swimming pool. I had a much better time going out on eco-friendly whales spotting tours, the kind that stay a safe and respectful distance.
You're other suggestions sound great though.
I need to find the telescope place 🥹 where is the telescope place?
Loro park is totally not worth any thought, their animal cruelty is bad
From some Tenerife YT videos you'd think that the north doesn't exist and the south is just cafes serving English food. Thank you for being adventurous and for showing us the true range of activities and scenery on the island!
Good point. In my opinion the south of Tenerife actually sucks. All these "great" resorts with small, mediocre, artificial beaches are a waste of time. On the south I only liked El Medano with interesting group of mini beaches, small time vibe and Roja Mountain nearby.
On the other hand the north and Teide National Park are amazing. I highly recommend hiking all the way up to the summit. Amazing experience. The second highest peak, Pico Viejo is also unbelievable. Massive crater. And Anaga mountains. I was there in the first days of summer and the weather was like in Scotland. I couldn't believe it. 20 degrees and raining 4 times a day. On Tenerife weather changes drastically in a matter of merely few miles. Something to experience on your own.
You are very welcome, thanks for watching! 😃
@@fiucik1 both north and south of Tenerife is great. But if you dont like the hot and beaches you go to the north. I like to hike and i like to swim and i enjoyed both north and south of tenerife
@@ThePaderborners Oh but I do love hot and nice beaches, that's why I was so disappointed with the south. Not only the beaches were mediocre at best, the weather was far from perfect, quite windy, very cloudy and not that worm. About 22-24 degrees at the end of June... Big resorts, luxurious hotels and...no that's all south has to offer.
I'm from Tenerife and although I'm living in a different island for work, I really liked your selection! People who want to actually enjoy the island but stay down south miss out on all the good stuff. Oh and loved the brief geographical explanation, I'm sure it'll also be super helpful! I hope they take your advice and explore! I'd love to settle up north someday, near the forests and La Laguna.
Only thing I'd like to mention is if you could not skip the "el" in "El Teide". When articles are there in names they're part of the name! And in this case it comes from a single old word, "Echeide". This happens a lot, so if you do more places in the Canaries or Tenerife itself, keep it in mind!
Hey Elio! Thank you for your kind words and your tip! From now on I won't miss any "El's" anymore, promised ;)!
How is it to eat only cakes and chockokate all life? Must be amazinf!
hello! can u help me with choosing the good place for living in Tenerife? want to moved, will be very pleasure for any help (:
@@adoviy Puerto, Santa Cruz and La Laguna are the best in my opinion, but it depends on your necessities and needs cause they're quite different (but still pretty close especially with a car)
which is the hottest part of the island in december?
We' re German, but Your English ist very good to understand. Thank you very much for Your good Tipps. All the very best for You!
Nice, I‘m glad I could help you out! Thanks for watching and your kind feedback! Enjoy Tenerife.
Loved this video! Subscribed! One question, how did you get to those amazing views at Anaga at the end? Does that hike have a name? Is it a tough hike? Travelling to Tenerife next week! Thanks for the video!
Hey Lou. Thank you for watching and your kind words. The hike goes around the „Roque de Taborno“ at the southern coast of the Anaga Rural Park. If you google this you will find all the details. It‘s about 4km and for sure it requires basic fitness level, hiking shoes and enough water on the way. It‘s a shorter hike, about 2-3 hours so it should be manageable for most people who are used to go hiking every once in a while. Enjoy your time in Tenerife!
Incredibly underrated video. Thank you for making it!
Oh, thank you so much, you are very welcome!
Our group of 4 just returned from Tenerife, we stayed at Costa Adeje fir a week and everyone agreed this island is a paradise. We were even lucky enough to play with baby sharks while snorkeling at Playa El Dungue! There were coral fish as well. The water and the whole island is so pristine, clean and the weather is just perfect 😍
Can you please tell us more which is must do activities there
Oh wow, this sounds like an amazing trip. Especially swimming with the baby sharks must have been great. Thanks for sharing! 😄
What a wonderful video. I am watching this having just been there and can relate a lot to what you have done and described. Tenerife is truly a destination for EVERYONE. I'm an explorer, while my partner is someone who prefers to lie in the sun on the beach. You can imagine my joy at discovering Los Gigantes!!!
One small remark about the transport. The bus infrastructure is simply sub-par. Unless we were missing something with Google Maps / Titsa physical timetables, buses simply do their own thing, including not showing up. We eventually got a hire car (39 a day from Evano for a hybrid) and it simply is the only way to travel efficiently in my opinion.
Thanks again for the video and I look forward to seeing more!
Hey Luke, thank you for your kind comment and for watching the video. I'm glad to hear that you and your partner had a great time on Tenerife!
Oh well, the routes and the descriptions of the bus network looked pretty fine to me. But yeah if they just don't show up that's bad 😅 Thanks for pointing that out, so maybe it's just better to hire a car if you want to go to a lot of places.
I'm from Tenerife and I love your video, specially how many different places you visited. Most tourists only visit Los Cristianos and surroundings, and they leave the north part of our island, for me the best part. Great vid!
Hey Antonio, that's so nice to hear, especially from a local! I'm glad that I could pay tribute to your beautiful home and hope to be back one day!
Wonderful clip. Visiting Tenerife mid feb 2023 and have taken note on all suggestions
Thank you for your kind word Paul! I hope you are having a great time on Tenerife! 😄
I was at las Margaritas banana plantation - amazing place, brought banana wine, kofio and many other items there!
Was really cool and people working there were so friendly!
Nice! Yeah it is definitely a great experience, especially when you've never seen before how bananas grow. 😉
Really enjoyed watching this video. Very informative and helpful. We will be there during Christmas, so your tips and suggestions will definitely come handy. Thank you very much
Thanks for watching and your kind words! I am very happy that I could help you with planning your trip. Enjoy Tenerife, I am sure you will have a great Christmas there 🏝️😄
Thank you for your video. I am planning to visit Tenerife next month for 4 days 3 night I wish I booked more days. But i'm planing to have 2 night in south and 1 night in north.
You are very welcome ☺️ Yeah 4 days might nit be enough to see everything but I‘m sure you will have a great time!
I wish I watched your video before our trip this year in the summer. We stayed south with the kids like usual holiday makers would do. Although we had fantastic time been out to the sea saw turtle and pilot whales, and Siam park. I wish we visited the banana plantation which would be a great learning experience for the whole family. We spent a day in the north visiting the Loro park and did experience the misty climate and saw the rain forest on the hill. Would be amazing to have a trial inside. Well that would be the plan for the next trip and thank you for a great video!
Interesting and helpful video. The best about Tenerife so long. Thanks a lot!
Wow, thank you for your kind words, I am happy that I could help you with some inspiration about Tenerife. I appreciate it 😄
Just come across this video as we are taking our six year old daughter on her first holiday outside of the UK next month to the island. Even though you don't cover the resort we are staying in (Puerto de la Cruz) it was well put together and informative.
Oh wow, I‘m sure you will have a great family vacation on Tenerife! I hope you could get some ideas for the trip! Thanks for watching and your kind comment 😄
Sandro, another good product! Hope your viewers give you credit for breaking out of the south of Tenerife. When I was there, I stayed in Puerto de la Cruz, which has black sand beaches and the large Lago Martianez pool complex on the coast. And Loro Parque (sister park to Siam) wasn't too far away.
During the summer, Siam Park used to reopen on Saturday nights. This was a perfect time to go as families with kids it was too late for, underpopulating the park making for short wait times on all of the rides. Also, at night one doesn't have to worry about sunburn.
Hope you can visit Madeira in your series. Stay somewhere near The Wine Lodges in Funchal, as those are across the street from a city park where you can sit to edit videos while enjoying a latte, etc. And the harbor is a 5-minute walk away from The Wine Lodges as well. Many levadas to hike on Madeira. Plus, this hike at altitude: th-cam.com/video/YQ1GuPpsl3c/w-d-xo.html&t
Hey Tom, thanks for your kind words. It sounds like you had a great time in Tenerife too! It‘s just a beautiful spot, and visiting the Siam Park at night sounds great!
Thanks for sharing the Maderia tipp, the video looks great and I‘m sure I would enjoy it. It‘s definitely on my list now 😉
Wow I can't believe you have only 954 subscribers!!! This video is super well made and helped me plan my trip quite a bit :)
Hey Juhi, that's so kind, thanks for letting me know. It makes me really happy to know that my videos actually help people with their adventures! Hope you have a great time in Tenerife!
Thank you so much for this video!! I am planning a surprise trip for my boyfriend and it has been so hard to get concrete information about the best spots!!!! Amazing video :)
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and your kind words, I appreciate it. I hope you will have a great time with your boyfriend on Tenerife. 😄
We went there last Aug 21 2022 few weeks ago and it's amazing place for summer holiday, and we made videos about the amazing island as we are a traveler couple too. Nice video.
Yeah it's definitely a beautiful place and a greate scenery to shoot some vids! Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot for sharing your adventure list 🤩 I'm really excited and have already written down several points to visit in my nearest vacation in a month 😀
Thanks for watching and your kind words. I‘m glad I could give you some tips for your Tenerife adventure. Have a great vacation ☺️
Im visiting in 3 days and I just cant wait!!! 😃
Oh wow, sounds great! Enjoy Tenerife, it‘s an amazing place. Especially when it‘s cold in the rest of Europe 😉
Great video! We visited Tenerife last year and I cant wait to come back to explore more! Will definitely use the tip of the north hike, as we didnt cover it at first time.
Thank you 😄 Yeah it‘s definitely worth also to checking out the north once you will be back!
This is a really well done video. Very well structured, clear, concise, helpful explanations. Good mix of well-knows hotspots (Teide, Siam park) and less-frequented ideas. Thank you so much! Merci vielmaus!
Thank you for your kind words. I put a lot of effort in my videos to make sure they are worth watching. It means a lot when people appreciate this.
fantastic video Sandro! tenerife is on my list, in fact i am considering moving there for the entire winter, so i am looking forward to watch it again once I am there!
Thank you for your kind words Lenka! Oh that's definitely a good plan. I'd rather spend my winter there as well :) Hope my video will help you to discover the island.
Going back again this week. Excited ✨✅
Oh, I wish I could escape the snowy weather in Switzerland. Enjoy the sunshine over there! 😄
Brilliant video, thank you! Exactly the kind of guidance we are looking for.
Thanks Bruno, that's so nice to hear!
Very nicely done video Sandro. Informative, comprehensive, and entertaining without being narcissistic. Keep up the good work! Jorge
Thank you for watching ang sharing your thoughts Jorge. I had a great time in Tenerife so it was easy to pack all of those travel tips into a video. I will, there are more travel guides in the making so stay tuned 😄
Thanks for that info))
I'll plan to make a big surprise for my wife's bday))
You are very welcome. Hope the surprise turned out well! 😉
Thank you for this video. Very well produced, clear, easy to follow. Just the highlights. Great work! 🎉
Thank you for watching, and for your kind comment 😄 Hope I could give you some tips for Tenerife 🏝️
It's Mark Wahlberg with a Swiss Germam accent! Love the video 😊
😂😂 wow, it‘s not the first time I hear that! Thanks for watching!
What a great introduction to Tenerife. You are a natural pedagog, great presentation and very clear diction. Thank you!
Haha, thank you Linda. Hope it was helpful! 😉
Great video. I owned an apartment in Playa de la Arenas for 25 years, sold it 12 years ago. I concur with the remarks (below) regarding the Crabb Island pool over the years quite a number of people have died being washed off the rocks, also the beach at Playa de la Arenas has a serious rip tide that will take you out to sea in an instant if there is a big swell. That said Tenerife is a beautiful island and you have managed to get this across in your video. Maybe another time you can include some footage of the great restaurants that still serve traditional Canarian food and some of these are in dramatic locations (El Burgado, Buenavista springs to mind)
Thanks for watching and your helpful comment. It's definitely important to be careful when you are swimming in the ocan. Even if it seems to be protected by the pools... And yeah I kind of missed out a bit on the food and the culutre, but I definitely will include it next time I visit Tenerife! 😃
Just arrived on the island. Thanks for the tips Sandro 🙏🏼
Oh, wish you a great time on Tenerife! Glad I could help 😄
Ancient Tenerife legend speaks of a man, a man who lived before modern Cruz Roja ambulances and medic cars, named Raul Roja. But people called him… El Ambulancero!
Whenever his amigos were hurt or sick, El Ambulancero raced to the rescue con coraje [with courage] astride his horse, Ambu [short for ‘ambulancia’], who was always ready to rescue his friends in need.
The siren sound of an ambulancia started his theme song, ‘La Leyenda de El Ambulancero!’ [Leyenda = Legend in Spanish] as a guitar version of the sound was moving into the first line about how his descendant Roberto wanted revenge against the diseases and illnesses that plagued El Medano and Las Galletas!
"¡Adelante, Ambu! ¡Yah!" he yelled, as Ambu trotted out of his stables at a salon, the Roja Roost, aiming for his target, a pool man named Kiki.
“Gracias, Ambulancero. I owe you one!” Kiki gasped, as he was rescued from drowning by Roberto.
A girl named Sirena was relaxing near the rocks past Margaza Jetty, where she ran up to Roberto and teamed up with him, cheering her first rescuee up with a cute whistle imitation of a Spanish three-toned siren, winking at him and showing off her orange nails, glittering like the warning lights on the vehicles.
“Hey, Ambulancero, I’m your biggest fan~! I know your favourite makes of ambulancia, your catchphrases, EVERYTHING! Can I please join you?!” she beamed, smiling at Roberto.
“Si. Ambulanci-arriba!” he smiled, winking back at her as she hopped on board her horse, La Brilla Naranja.
They were like the Lone Ranger and Tonto, basically.
La Ambulancera, aka Sirena, was so famous that she had her own makeup line, ‘Cosmedico [Cosmetics + medico, ‘doctor’ in Spanish] sold at shops across the Canary Islands, even all over the world!
She had handbags too, with the words “Ambulanci-arriba’ printed on them, that went well with skirts that had a frilly EKG line at the hem.
She and Roberto were normal doctors by day, but when the clinics closed for the night, they rushed to their horses and galloped off to fight ghostly viruses and infectors from beyond the grave! Oh Dios mio, that’s scary!
“Aw, it’s okay, kid. Leave it to los heroes to fight off those bad bugs~!” she reassured Nate Lee’s cousin Vinnie, as he was feeling a bit sad about his dad Steve being in the hospital, and she whipped out her weapon, El Látigo de Llenelo, which filled him with strength and life.
“Oh my gosh, Senorita Sirena, your bright orange nails look soooooo cute~!” his sister Angelica aka Jelly smiled, hanging out with her.
“Gracias, sweetie. Hey, whenever you’re feeling a bit sad, just smile! ¡Sonríe!” Sirena beamed, winking at her.
“Why are you sooooo cute, Sirena?!” Amelia “Amy” Lee blurted, as she picked up an El Ambulancero toy Látigo de Llenelo [Filling Whip] and showed it to her Gran, Melita.
“Tu hermano just thought us up, and his comic book came to life, materialising us into tu mundo,
bringing our enemies along, so you’d better be cuidado.” she warned, as legions of Insectos Infectores [Infector Insects] swarmed the family and Nate dove for cover.
Daniel “Big Dan” Seccombe was drinking some Dorada beer, unaware that one of them was after his skin and flesh!
“Látigo de Llenelo, modo defibrilador. ¡Choque sónico!” [Filling Whip, defibrillator mode. Sonic Shock!] Sirena yelled, as she charged her weapon and shocked that annoying pest, it disintegrating and falling into the sea.
“Hola, Roberto. God Almighty! Did you just pop out of Nate’s comic book?!” Terry gasped as he ran into Roberto, who was curing a patient.
“Si. I was just un medico normal until I found this magical red cross which imbued me with awesome healing powers, wow! Esto es mi caballo, Ambu.”
“¡Lléname!” he called to Sirena, which is the Spanish word for “Fill me up!”, and she threw him a Cruz Roja Cherry energy drink.
He downed it in one gulp, ambulancia sirens playing and rising in pitch as he powered up.
The whole of Tenerife cheered him on by chanting his theme song:
“There’s this legend of the vigilante, El Ambulancero. To cure Tenerife of viruses and bugs, vamonos, let’s go! He ain’t no ordinary doctor or medico, he’ll cure you like the pure blue sea! With his horse Ambu, his mejor amigo, he flashes right by you and me! Hagámoslo, LET’S GO! EL AMBULANCERO!”
They became so famous that there was a videogame series, a cartoon, AND McDonald’s Happy Meal toys!
When the normal ambulances get stuck in traffic, Ambu the horse can speed through alley ways where the trucks and vans can’t go through, and when they arrive at the scene at El Medano they help the lifeguards take stranded people out the sea.
They become so famous they become advertised in the airports all around Tenerife.
Roberto got his powers by finding a weird ancient stick used by the ancient Aztecs, and he deals with the supernatural illnesses, not just the plain chicken pox.
“Hey, chicos, when Ambu and El Ambulancero ride by, we’ll sneak attack him and La Ambulancera.”
Coleria, the don of El Cartel Canceroso [the Cancerous Cartel], was saying to his minions as they lay in wait.
“Your little disease spreading day is over, Coleria!” Sirena called, as she whipped him and his minions with the Látigo de Llenelo.
“Maldito seas... [Damn you…] EL AMBULANCERO Y LA AMBULANCERA!!!" he growled, being shocked and disintegrated into virus-sized dust!
“That raised my blood pressure a bit!” Jason gasped, as he checked it with his little machine.
“Hey, Roberto, wanna buy some churros with me?” Vinnie suggested, after El Ambulancero untransformed and finished his mission.
“Vamonos, Vinnie. Hey, when tu papa was in el hospital, La Ambulancera whipped out her Látigo de Llenelo and its magical healing powers whipped him back into good health!” Roberto replied, as they both went to the churros place in El Medano near Creperia La Boheme.
Roberto and Sirena became so famous that Jet2holidays even played their theme song at boarding!
Wow that’s quite a story. I did not know about this. Thanks for sharing this Tenerife legend!
13:50 Cruz del Carmen ( Mercedes's Mountain) thanks for visit us
Thank you and your beautiful island for having me :)
Very well put together video! Thank you for showing our beautiful island!
I'm happy that you like it! Thank you for letting me know.
Great Video, but you missed one of my favourite places El Médano! Perfect for kiting, windsurfing etc. 👍
I'll put it on my list for next time! Thanks for the tip.
Well done video. I especially like the inclusion of prices and locations with picture of where it is on map.
Glad my video was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant video I will be going back to Tenerife this year thanks for that
Thank you John! Hope you will have a great time there.
hello! great content! what would you say would be the best time to go to tenerife?
Hey man, thanks for watching! That‘s the good thing about Tenerife, it is always nice and warm. Also it depends a bit where you stay on the island since the northern part is a bit cooler but more humid and south of the mountains it can get very hot in the summer months but probably nice in winter. So it‘s up to you. If you have the chance to dodge the main tourist holiday season you will have a more quiet experience for sure. Enjoy Tenerife 🏝️😄
Enjoyed the entire video and the maps giving a view of where places are.
Thank you Edward, I am very happy to hear that! Thanks for watching. 😀
Thanks for this video man, appreciate that 🤝 We will travel to Tenerife this march, and will definitely use your tips👍
Thank you so much for letting me know! I'm glad that my video was helpful. Enjoy your time in Tenerife, I'm sure it will be a great adventure 😄
Thx a lot! It help us verry much, but...nothing about Loro Parque?
You are welcome, thanks for watching 😄 No I rather see animals in their natural habitats where they belong. I hope you had a great time in Tenerife 🏝️
Great guide. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you, I‘m glad I could give you some tips for Tenerife 😄
Loved your video

Thank you so much for watching.Hope I could give you some inspiration for Tenerife 😄
going in april and your video is making me excited! thanks for the tips! may I ask which hike you did in Anaga? Having trouble finding it..
Thanks for watching, I'm glad that the video was helpful. It's the hike to the "Roque de Taborno". You should be able to find it on google. Have fun in Tenerife!
Great video, thanks a lot ❤
You are welcome, thanks for watching 😁
Thanks for your video! It's really helped us a lot !!!
That‘s great to hear! Thanks for watching and enjoy your time on Tenerife! 🏝️
Great video! Tenerife is definitely on my list!
Could you tell me the name of the accomodation? It was like a residence?
Many thanks!
Hey Martina, thanks for watching. I think the name was "Ocean View Apartment" in Los Gigantes. On Air BnB there are many apartments like this in that area.
Super video thanks man!
Thanks for your kind words! Much appreciated 😄
This has got me excited to go to Tenerife. Great video man.
Thanks for watching and letting me know! I appreciate it!
Thanks, I´m going there next weeek and it´s been very helpful

Cool❤
Thanks for watching. Hope you found some inspiration for Tenerife 🏝️
Awesome tips and content 🙏
Thanks for letting me know, I‘m glad my video was helpful. Enjoy Tenerife 😄
Great video with a lot of information, but one thing you been missing out on, is the 200+ coffeshops around the island, basically little Amsterdam, but so much better 😂🎉
Thanks Leo. Oh I did nit know about that 😅
Yes the clubs are mint, visited two last time in December going back in a few weeks for the very best of from cotton mouth cc 😊
I live in Tenerife 💕👍😋
So I'm sure you have great weather now ;)
What an amazing travel guide video! I love the way how you presented it, very informative and very useful. Hope one day I can visit this wonderful Teneriffa and surely your video will be a great reference^^ Thanks so much for producing and sharing this video! Happy travel 😊
Thank you, that‘s amazing to hear 😄 Hope you will be visiting Tenerife one day!
@@sandrorossi You really deserve more views and more followers! You did really a GREAT job! 👍👍👍
Great video you provided a lot of informations I could get a good view how Tenerife is, I never been there yet. like the animated map, would like to know where you got this map and how its animated. Best regards from Northern Norway
Hey Alex, thanks for watching! I looked around for some inspiration of "cartoon maps" of Tenerife, and then made my own in Adobe Illustrator. You can break the composition apart in single objects and drag them into After Effects where you can animate them. Was quite a lot of work ;)
The additional map right side is just awesome 👏 thank you for awesome content 😊
I'm happy that it is helpful. Thanks for your feedback and watching the video, I really appreciate it! 😄
A very informative video well done
Thank you Robert, I appreciate your feedback 😄
Thank you for your work. we are planning to be in teneriffe in Nov, and this video helped me a lot !
Oh, you are very welcome 😄 Thanks for letting me know, I‘m happy that the video was helpful!
Great video Thanks 😊
Thanks for watching and your kind words 😉✌🏼
Do you remember where you rented your car?
Great video, can’t wait to explore the island
Thanks for watching! We rented the car with Avis, so nothing special, but it worked well. We just had to take a shuttle bus from the airport to get to their office.
Enjoy Tenerife, it‘s a magical place! 😄
thank you Obi-Wan
You are welcome my Padawan 😉
Great explanation!
Thank you, I'm glad that my Tenerife video was helpful.

Wow, this means a lot to me! Thanks for letting me know and all the best to you and your beautiful country 😁
very good video and fantastic descriptions
Thank you, I‘m glad you enjoyed watching 😄
I will be travelling to Tenerife in a few months. I will be staying down South and was looking for guide around driving up towards North, specifically accessing the Anaga Mountain trail. Your video was so informative and crisp, thank you for such detailed recommendations. Special shoutout to the great cinematography, that was cherry on the cake.
Hope you will have a great time in Tenerife. Thanks for your kind comment, I really appreciate it and I'm glad that my video was helpful to plan your trip. That's the reason why I'm putting this work into my channel :). And thanks for noticing the camera work, I do my best to make it look nice.
South sucks if you're interested in more than just lying on the beach. Or actually swimming in the ocean, cause even lying on the beach is better up North. It's actually beyond my power of understanding why so many people go the south of Tenerife. If you just want beach holiday, there are so many better places in Europe, or even in Spain to visit. Best beach on Tenerife is nothing in comparison to the average beach on Mallorca. And it is much shorter flight from wherever in Europe you are...
@@fiucik1 "It's actually beyond my power of understanding why so many people go the south of Tenerife" Thats because you think your point ov view is the correct one
@@ThePaderborners Well obviously. But my point of view is based on experience. I'm not a full time traveler, but I've been here and there, and south of the Tenerife was the biggest disappointment I've experienced in quite a while. You think that beaches in the south are better than these on Mallorca, Fuerteventura, or even Bulgaria?
@@fiucik1 not worse that for sure
Thanks a lot for your insights
You are welcome, thanks for your comment! 😉
heyas, this year we are also thinking bout a trip to tenerife, got one question, can you take the drone with you ? got a dji mini 2
Yeah, a trip to Tenerife is always a great idea! Sure, since Tenerife is part of Spain they have the EU Drone law. You will have to register as a drone pilot on the official website but since your drone is below 250g there is no need to pass a test. There are many flight maps where you can check the zones for any restrictions. Have fun 😀
Hi Sandro! Thanks for This video, is great !!!! Useful consice and inspiring ❤❤❤❤❤ You really helped us to organize what to do in the island!
Hope you continue like this!
Hey Camilo! Great, that's so nice to know! Thanks for watching and your comment, and have a great trip to Tenerife!
What a great video and it captures so many awesome places in Tenerife and also extremely informative. Very well done!
Hey Kristjana, thank you so much for those kind words! Glad that you enjoyed watching the video 😄
Amazing video, really love the energy and that makes me wanna visit. Great job! :)
Thank you so much Kristina! It was definitely a big help to review our videos to improve this one ☺️
Really great video and guide, nicely presented. Just lovely all round. Thank you
Hey Steven! Thanks for letting me know I really appreciate it ☺️
Fantastic video. Thank you
You are very welcome, thanks for watching and your comment!
Tenerife simple the best !!
Absolutely 😄
great video thanks mate
You are very welcome, thanks for watching!
I think the best hint is to spent at least 2 weeks. Teneriffa is great, and at some point you need to relax.
You are absolutely right!
I visit Tenerife once a year (sometimes twice if i'm lucky and have the funds available) and you listed some places even I wasn't aware of. I've always skipped Siam Park because their sister attraction Loro Parque was an absolute low point. Other than the magnificent penguin enclosure the rest of the zoo was unfortunately a step back in time for animal welfare - performing animal shows, tiny cramped enclosures for pretty much every animal. It was also the most expensive zoo I've ever been to and they clearly aren't spending that money on improving conditions.
Oh that's sad to hear... That's why I was not that interested in visiting the Loro Parque. Lucky there are plenty of other options on Tenerife!
Thank you for this perfect video!!!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and your kind comment. 😄
Great Video! Im flying too Tenerife in 38 Days :) Can´t wait
Oh I‘m sure you will have an amazing time there! Thanks for watching my video 😄
Very nice video ! I'm in love with this island ! 😍
Thank you for your kind words. Tenerife is definitely a magical place! 😃
Great overview of the island and activities. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, I did my best 😄
Great and helpful video. I will travel to the northern part in a few weeks. I visited the south a few years ago. A question - did you miss or intentionally exclude Loro Parque? it is suposed to be on of the best zoos in the world.
Thanks for your kind comment, I hope you will have a great time there!
No it was not intentionally, we did not have enough days and I'm not a big fan of keeping animals in captivity.
Great video👍
Strange that you have so few subscribers. I hope that you will keep going👌
Thank you for watching. Yeah I'm working on that 😅
Excellent video! ❤ I'm definitely going to follow in your footsteps while in Tenerife! Good job👍
One question...What program do you use do prepare these little animations like in 1:47 ? 🤔
Hey, thank you so much. I hope you will have a great time on the island. I drew the map of Tenerife in Illustrator based on some inspiration I found on the Internet. If you put all the elements on a single layer you then can make great animations in Adobe After Effects.
It is a very old video of mine, but here I basically describe the process: th-cam.com/video/4-ElUmZFweQ/w-d-xo.html 😅
@@sandrorossi Thank you! I'll definitely check this out!
Loved the video, thanks man!
