walkertelecoms Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 As long as it doesn't effect the airports I'm not bothered, we stay well away from the towns. If you go to Egypt what ever you do, ever, don't forget your kitesurfing gear. Unless you don't do that, then I wouldn't bother going Have a town house in Tavira/Algarve hence the chunky stints out there. Will be living there in 5 years.

Mister M Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 where are the best beaches on tenerife.going at the end of the month and got a car hired .staying in playa las americas but would like to visit the better beaches sometime.. Try driving up El Teide, truly spectacular views and the food & beer is cheaper up there too! Can't remember the name of the beach, but there is one on the south of the island where all the sand is black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callippo Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 a feature of volcanic islands like Tenerife and the other Canary islands, the world over, is that they tend to have black sand. There's nothing much wrong with it, except it goes against the perception many people have as to what beach sand, is supposed to look like. It's basically what happens when you decide to go to a volcanic hotspot on holiday. It's 'oh look, why is the sand black?' So don't expect the beaches to be like St Lucia. When I spent a winter on Tenerife in the 90s, I found the 'city' beach, just north of the capital city of Santa Cruz, the nicest and with best vibe with just ordinary local Spanish people and residents enjoying it rather than hordes of tourists. Basically Tenerife is short of decent beaches. By far the most interesting feature of the island is Mount Teide, there's not too many places in the world so easily reached by car, with a topography like that.
