Thanks for the information. Much appreciated!

In November I was caught out because much of Teide National Park was closed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for Mouflon shooting.

Does anyone know whether the Mouflon closures are still in...

Sorry, mlun, my post was inteded as a general musing to the readers of the forum rather than a reply to your question. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question.

Remember how during the financial crisis ten years ago, the VAT rate was raised "temporarily"?

Titsa is still selling new BonoBus tickets with a validity of 12 months. So they will have to give at least 12 months notice before they stop using the existing system.

The Spanish government increased VAT during the financial crisis when growth stalled, as an "emergency" measure. So now that growth has returned, the decent thing would be to decrease VAT again.

It's great that the smell has gone!

I think old lino would make a good base for the click-tiles, but this will raise the floor slightly. Will that cause problems with any doors that open inwards...

Or you can be like a Tinerfeño and eat gofio, which costs almost nothing.

Many hotel restaurants that provide buffet meals for their guests are also open to members of the public. But I don't personally know of any that "do a reasonable buffet for under €10".

Will you...

Some Chinese restaurants do a reasonable buffet for under €10.

I know, LUCKY, that prussik up to Upper GDS is a real killer.

To hellblau: sorry that we're being flippant here. There are lots of older people at this forum who are well beyond their rock...

I suppose it depends whether the "plenty of lush greenery" needs to be in the natural surroundings, or whether manicured landscaping also meets the criterion.

Hopefully your belayer has a rope. Belaying without a rope doesn't work very well.

Fortunately, the places with "plenty of lush greenery" are also the places without the "youth yob culture".

I suggest you take a look at the coast from Buenavista to Puerto de la Cruz. There are...

You can't get Pontins for £170 including transport, accommodation, food and drink.

I'll look out for that pyramid the next time I'm in Santa Cruz.

And one more thing - the Musel de la Ciencia y el Cosmos is an interesting science museum. It's on the tram route. The style of...

You only need the return time if you're planning to come back.

Two green TITSA buses leave the Parador at 4.00pm. Actually they sometimes leave one or two minutes early, because this run is the...

Catch the Teide bus up to the end of the line at the Parador Hotel, then walk around the spectacular Roques de Garcia? Or to the Teleferico (Cable Car) and ride it to just below the summit? The Teide...

Yep, I know Lympstone, as I walked the SW Coast Path recently. I think the only thing you will miss, moving from Lympstone to Los Roques, is the colour "green". Don't worry about the all the wild...

That's true! When I stay in San Isidro, and am waiting at a bus stop, I often hear someone say "Excuse me, do you speak English?". I'm tempted to reply "¡Si, por supuesto!" but I bite my sarcastic...

If you want to live in a very small, sleepy, Spanish village, and if you don't mind lots of wind, it sounds very good. There are four beaches and some coastal walks, a bar, a restaurant, a petrol...

The market is in an architecturally interesting building. Just across the road is the arts centre, a boxy black building whose saving grace is a walkway going down a ramp right through it, cutting...

The majority of such cracks are harmless, caused by shrinkage as moisture evaporated from the new construction. But a professional could take a look at them to ensure that they are not caused by...

San Isidro is a great town, with great transport connections, but it's definitely Spanish-speaking.
