Recently we were asked if it was possible to buy fresh fish anywhere on Tenerife. A visiting couple had been disappointed to find the 'fresh' fish on sale in restaurants where they were staying wasn't actually as fresh as they expected.
I decided to have a look on Tripadvisor to see what it was about Tenerife landmarks that left some people cold. Some answers were baffling, and some gave me a laugh.
A friend visiting the island invited us to have dinner with at Brunelli's Steakhouse in the Punta Brava area of Puerto de la Cruz.
Puerto de la Cruz is a three star town. The streets are dirty. The gardens are uncared for. And in ‘Puerto de la Cruz, parte de ti’ (part of you) it has a promotional slogan which doesn’t make any sense. Wow! I won’t be going to a place like that anytime soon, it sounds like a dump. Wait a minute… I live there. I don’t often read...
There are far more than 10 restaurants with impressive views on Tenerife, but these are some of our favourites.
Puerto de la Cruz has quietly developed a Klingon-like invisibility cloak. It's used to hide parts of the town which someone clearly doesn't want certain visitors to discover.
There are quite a few interesting lighthouses still flashing nightly around the coast of Tenerife. Some are easy to spot, others take a bit of a trek to reach.
It was a valuable lesson about the Tenerife where people lived and worked as opposed to the one on which to enjoy holidays...
I could write a list of a hundred Tenerife sculptures I like, but instead I'll list the ten which are my favourites... at the moment.
