I am going to tenerife with my 2 year old at xmas. I went the last 2 years and love staying in Los Gigantes which is pretty but fancy something more scenic and interesting for some of the trip too.
So thought about renting a car for 4 of the days I am i Los Gigantes to head to the north and saw you have been there. Would you mind if I asked you if you had any suggestions on the following:
1) I' love Mt Teide so will go there on the way. But thinking of heading towards the places I have seen that look beautiful nearer Santa Cruz on the web but know v little about them. Also quite nervous about how the roads are there..
The places I have seen online that look pretty to me are:
Punta de Teno
Las Montanas de Anaga
Reserva Ambiental de San Blas, San Miguel de Abona
Garachico
Playa de Benijo
Taganana
Aganas Mountains
La Laguna
and.. San Cristobel de la Laguna.
Santa Cruz
Not sure if anybody knows any of them or could suggest anything. At present I havent got a clue what makes sense to do; whether 4 days travelling with car out of the trip is enough and where it is best to stay for these individual places... i.e. stay in la laguna or santa cruz.. or somewhere in aganas mountains???. esp if only me and my toddler....especially dont want dangerous roads to get there!
Happy to find places to stay as i go along if you think that makes sense and you can get cheap places 20th dec time??
Sorry to throw this at you as you dont even know me:) hehe.. But are you able to shed any light .. with a view to me being someone who loves nature and the feeling of seeing the real tenerife and interesting places (but has limitations of little kid with me)..and someone who has lived in Asia and Australia and NZ etc for 10 years so loves independent travelling ( as opposed to playa de las americas) and wants to create a route that makes sense.
Thanks SO much.. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hope you dont mind!
