Trip to Tenerife (Days 1 – 3) / Tenerifi (1. - 3. dan)

1. Day.

Our trip started in Slovenia, where we packed our bags and headed for Vienna because we had a flight at 5:55. The journey to the airport was smooth as we traveled at night, so there was no crowd on the road. When we arrived in Vienna, of course, we missed the exit for the parking lot and had to drive another round. We left the car at the parking lot, and the shuttle took us to the airport.

We waited for the flight at the airport where everything went smoothly. We only had luggage up to 10 kg, which we took on the plane. The flight also went smoothly without any complications. Since we booked using the Mytrip app, we didn’t have a free choice of seats, so we sat scattered around the plane. For some of our team, it was their first flight on an airplane, which we passed without any special events.

The apartment was spacious. Downstairs was a small bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen, a large refrigerator, a dining table, and even a small couch and television. There were three rooms on the upper floor. The larger room had access to a larger balcony and its bathroom. The other two smaller rooms shared a bathroom and a small balcony. We had access to a terrace with deckchairs, a table, and chairs. There was also a swimming pool within the apartments, which all guests shared, but we were alone in the complex most of the time and could use it whenever we wanted.

In the afternoon we went to the city to see the surroundings and to the nearby hill (Red Mountain), from where we could see El Medano and the beaches around it.

After the hike, we went to the store, where we bought all the necessary things. We were glad that Hofer and Lild had the place because we also shop in them.

In the evening we decided to go to the sunset over the Costa del Silencio because we experienced a nice view.

So that is how we ended our first day.  

   2. Day

Since we were all in Tenerife for the first time, we wanted to take advantage of this time and see as many different destinations as possible. So on the second day, we went to the Natural Park de Anaga, because we walked through the forest, which offered many interesting paths, exceptional views from the viewpoints, and above all, the cool shade, which at +35 degrees came in very handy. There is no charge for the park, nor is there a paid parking lot. But I must mention that the parking lot was quite crowded at that time. The park is so big that people spread out. The hiking/walking trails are very nicely arranged and marked (they can be adjusted depending on the length and difficulty of the trail).

Some of us were not the best prepared for the heat and other things, so we then stopped in Santa Cruz at Decathlon on the way to buy the necessary “equipment”. However, you have to be careful here, because there are 2 Decathlons in the city. One is in the strict center, but don’t take advantage of it, because the navigation takes you to the pedestrian zone. We were almost fined by the police there, even though it wasn’t marked anywhere 😉 I recommend Decathlon La Laguna, which is located in a shopping area equipped with parking lots and accessible. We bought hats and UV shirts there because some of our team already managed to get sunburned hh

After this fun adventure, we spent our afternoon at Almaciga Beach. Part of our company went to test the water on one of the beautiful beaches with black sand, while the other part of the team walked along the well-maintained path on the cliff, which is accessible from the beach. The views were truly divine.

          3. Day

On the third day, we went to Maska. It is a small mountain village that was founded around 1496. The village is located at an altitude of 650 m in the Macizo de Teno mountains. Due to poor accessibility and roads, we went by bus. So that our entire day was dedicated to seeing only this. The road was really in bad condition, so I recommend the bus. The bus doesn’t run that often, so we waited for it upstairs. The town is very beautiful and well-preserved. It is very interesting and worth seeing. One of the problems was that there was very little or almost no shade, so the heat made us very tired.

On the way there and back, we naturally stopped at various viewpoints and enjoyed the nature that Tenerife has to offer.

Late afternoon or in the evening we went to the neighboring town where we ate at Las Gangarras Restaurant. The food was good, the prices were appropriate for the food. So we ended the day in a delicious evening.

1. dan

Naše potovanje se je začelo v Sloveniji, kjer smo »napakirali kufre« in se opravili proti Dunaju, ker smo imeli let ob 5:55. Pot do letališča je potekala gladko, saj smo potovali ponoči, tako da ni bilo gneče na cesti. Ko smo prispeli na Dunaj smo seveda zgrešili izvoz za parkirišče in smo se morali peljati še en krog. Na parkirišču smo oddali avtomobil in prevoz nas je odpeljal do letališča.

Na letališču smo čakali na let, vse je potekalo gladko. Imeli smo samo prtljago do 10kg, ki smo jo vzeli s seboj na letalo. Tudi polet je potekal mirno brez kakšnih koli zapletov. Ker smo rezervirali s pomočjo aplikacije Mytrip nismo imeli proste izbire sedežev, tako da smo sedeli razmetano po letalu. Za nekatere iz naše ekipe je bil to prvi polet z letalom, ki smo ga preživeli brez posebnosti.

Ko smo pristali, nas je zadel topel vročinski val, saj smo prišli iz 18 stopinj na 30. Pri letališču smo počakali na prevoz, ki nas je zapeljal do podjetja, kjer smo rezervirali avtomobil za najem. Po prevzemu ključev smo se odpeljali v mesto El Medano, ker smo imeli rezervirano prenočišče. Na Tenerife smo prispeli v dopoldanskih urah in smo bili precej lačni. Tako smo se ustavili še v McDonaldu, saj je bila to najbolj »varna« izbira. »Varna« pa rečem zato, ker imam sama določene diete in nisem uspela oz. nisem imela časa preveriti kaj in kje bi lahko jedli.

Po kosilu smo se odpravili proti našemu stanovanju, kjer smo imeli brezkontakten prevzem ključev. Lastniki nastanitve so že predčasno stopili v stik z mano in tako smo ob prihodu kar prevzeli ključe in lahko stopili v apartma. V apartmaju smo seveda kot mali otroci zdirjali v zgornje nadstropje, da bi si izbrali sobe.

Apartma je bil prostoren. V spodnjem nadstropju je bila manjša kopalnica, dobro opremljena kuhinja, velik hladilnik, jedilna miza in celo manjši kavč in televizija. V zgornjem nadstropju so bile tri sobe. Večja soba je imela dostop do večjega balkona ter svojo kopalnico. Drugi dve manjši sobi sta si delili kopalnico in manjši balkon. Imeli smo dostop do terase z ležalniki, mizo in stoli. V sklopu apartmajev je bil še bazen, ki je bil skupen za vse goste, vendar smo bili sami v kompleksu večino časa in smo ga lahko uporabljali kdaj smo ga želeli.

Popoldan smo šli v mesto si pogledat okolico in na bližnji hrib (Red Mountain), od koder se je lepo videl El Medano in plaže okoli njega. Po pohodu smo se odpravili še v trgovino, kjer smo nakupili vse potrebne stvari. Veseli smo bili, da je mesto imeli Hofer in Lild, ker v njih nakupujemo tudi pri nas.

Zvečer smo se odločili, da se podamo na sončni zahod nad Costa del Silencio, ker smo doživeli res lep razgled.

Tako smo zaključili naš prvi dan.

2. dan

Ker smo bili vsi prvič na Tenerifih smo hoteli izkoristiti ta čas in si pogledati čim več različnih destinacij. Tako smo se drugi dan podali v naravni park de Anaga, ker smo se sprehodili po gozdu, ki je ponujal veliko zanimivih poti, izjemnih razgledov na razglednih točkah, predvsem pa hladno senco, ki je pri +35 stopinjah zelo prišla prav. Park ni plačljiv, prav tako ni plačljivo parkirišče. Moram pa omeniti, da je bila v tistem času kar gneča na parkirišču. Park je tako velik, da se ljudje porazdelijo. Pohodne/sprehajalne poti so zelo lepo urejene in označene (lahko se prilagajajo glede na dolžino in zahtevnost poti).

Določeni med nami niso bili najbolje pripravljeni na vročino in druge stvari, zato smo se potem na poti naprej ustavili v mestu Santa Cruz v Decathlonu, da bi nakupili potrebno »opremo«. Vendar tukaj morate biti pazljivi, saj sta v mestu 2 Decathlona. En je v strogem središču, vendar se tega ne poslužujte, saj vas navigacija vodi v peš cono. Tam so nas skoraj oglobili policisti, čeprav nikjer sploh ni bilo označeno 😉 Priporočam Decathlon La Laguna, ki je lociran v trgovski coni opremljen s parkirišči in dostopen. Tam smo nakupili kape in UV majice, saj je določene v naši ekipi že uspelo opeči sonce hh

Po tem zabavnem pripetljaju smo naše popoldne preživeli na plaži Almáciga. Del naše družbe je šel preizkusit vodo na eni izmed zelo lepih plaž s črnim peskom, drugi del ekipe pa se je sprehajal po urejeni poti na pečini, ki je dostopa iz plaže. Razgledi so bili res božanski.       

3. dan

Tretji dan smo se odpravili v Masko. To je majhna gorska vasica, ki je nastala približno leta 1496. Vas leži na nadmorski višini 650 m v gorovju Macizo de Teno. Zaradi slabše dostopnosti in cest smo se odpravili z avtobusom. Tako, da je naš celoten dan bil namenjen ogledu le te. Cesta je bila res v slabem stanju, zato priporočam avtobus. Avtobus ne vozi tako pogosto, zato smo ga zgoraj čakali. Mesto je zelo lepo in lepo ohranjeno. Je zelo zanimivo in vredno ogleda. Eden izmed problemov je bil le to, da je zelo malo oz. skoraj nič sence, tako da nas je vročina zelo izmučila.

Po poti tja in nazaj smo se seveda ustavljali ob različnih razglednih točkah ter uživali v naravi, ki nam jo ponujajo Tenerifi.

Pozno popoldne oz. zvečer smo se podali v sosednje mesto kjer smo jedli v Restavraciji Las Gangarras. Hrana je bila dobra, cene so bile primerne hrani. Tako smo v okusnem večeru zaključili dan.
