Join us for a day in the life style vlog in Tenerife! Monika and I grab a coffee at one of our favourite spots in El Medano- right on the ocean front and with a great view of the kite surfers and wind surfers.
After that we head off to the supermarket to pick up some bits for the picnic, and I show a few examples of the cost of food in Tenerife (including the cost of wine!).
From there, we pack up the Triump[h Bonneville with pans, food and coal for the bbq and wrap up in winter biking gear and head up towards Mount Teide, above the cloud line, and to a beautiful picnic spot of Area Recreativo El Contador- just outside the start of the Parque Nacional de Teide and Parque Natural Corona Forestal. It’s a brilliant spot, with public toilets, BBQ spots, tables and chairs, bins, and all beautifully maintained. We fired up the barbecue and had much of the place to ourselves.
The temperature differences are huge in Tenerife, because of the volcano of El Teide, there are many micro climates. We went from the warm south of the island (23 degrees on the day we filmed this) which is shorts and flip flop weather all year round (places like Costa Adeje, Los Gigantes, Las Americas and over to El Medano), to 13 degrees at the picnic spot. It's one of the best things to do in Tenerife in my opinion.
The road up to El Teide must be one of the best driving roads in Europe- there are a huge amount of motorbikes and quad bikes whizzing up and down and making the most of the beautiful roads.
And we saw a lot of classic cars! Old Mercedes, classic BMW 3 Series, and a lot more.
