The pictures below may whet your appetite - I took them on walk number 5 in the Southern Tenerife book. The first is looking across to Mount Teide from Guajara and the second looking back towards Montaña de las Arenas from above Vilaflor.






Finally, avoid drinking the imported Tetley Bitter and try the Cerveza Dorada - there's even an alcohol free version (Dorada sin alcohol) if you are going to watch CD Tenerife in the hire car!
