TENERIFE | We Found The Perfect Summer Escape! 🇪🇸 (CANARY ISLANDS)

[@JumpingPlaces]

Watch all our Canary islands Videos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5LChpSNbZqtn5I

[@CarnaghSidhe]

Where we live on the West of the island, we're moderately high up and occasionally the cloud drops down to cover us. When it does so, the temperature drops near instantly to around 15C, which is the temperature of the cloud... Love your video, and good on you for showing the different envions of the island. When you go up the mountain you really need to be prepared not to burn as the sun impacts you a good bit more, and indeed, the cold... not flipflops :P

[@osopolarmovies]

Congratulation to two excellent videos. We went on vacation to Tenerife in 1999. After two weeks we decided to move to Tenerife permanently. We don’t miss anything. You can visit the other Islands or mainland Spain with a 75% discount. Our Paradise.😊

[@ricardotongol567]

Wow, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience and adventure in the Canary’s.

[@fosterapp]

Carol and Chris I enjoyed the town you showed with the traditional architecture and the quiet Sunday vibe, a welcome respite from the touristy areas. Thanks as always 🌴🌵👍

[@JumpingPlaces]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marko10283]

You did Tenerife proud.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Cheers! So many more things to see and do also :D

[@isaacbulay4061]

Lover the mellowness of. this Beautiful Island! Enjoy. 😊

[@JumpingPlaces]

yeah in the summer it seems super chill :D

[@janicestewart6116]

Dear Chris and Carol, I could travel. Have the means and I am healthy. But I have no desire to! That is where you come in! THANK YOU for sharing the world with me! Your videos are calming and so enjoyable. OX

[@jaimelf1194]

Happy to see you guys in the Canary Islands. It's one of my favorite places in the world, in spite of the increase in mass tourism and construction. The weather is very pleasant, the ocean and mountains are beautiful, prices are okay, and there is always something going on. Can't wait to go back.

[@JumpingPlaces]

we were actually expecting it to be crazy packed since we heard about the over tourism protests, i guess that's only in the winter?

[@stuarthorwood2101]

​@@JumpingPlaces...there are problems in the canaries and Spain too but the issues are poor government decisions around tourist accommodation which has led to a lack of affordable housing for locals. Basically too many air bnbs. The protests are not really about individual tourists, they are aimed at the politicians and decision-makers

[@maritkjn505]

"Hat on the run" 👒🤣 LOL Thank you for sharing the Canary Islands. Beautiful nature, up there in the mountains. Take care you two ♥♥

[@JumpingPlaces]

This was better than it flying off the top deck of the bus in malta onto the road like last time haha

[@scotbownes5627]

Beautiful 👍🙂

[@gerrytran]

Yes, Tenerife is a perfect quick holiday escape. A bit overrun by tourists in some areas, but still plenty of space for some exploration and relaxation too.

[@JumpingPlaces]

yes seems this time of the year you can avoid the majority of the crowds :D

[@satanishangover]

@@JumpingPlaces The interesting thing is, unlike other Spanish destinations, the winter season is the strong season for the Canaries. Since the weather is mild and pleasant in general, in winter many Europeans (British, Germans, Nordics...) visit the Canaries as the temperature is better than all Europe. The strongest economy is tourism and they receive nearly 15 million visitors a year, a lot, even more if you consider the population is about 2 million.

[@paulinejs9192]

Good job showing the contrasting places on Tenerife. La laguna is busy but not on a Sunday , nice cafes and shops. Looking forward to Fuertoventura and Gran Canaria .

[@nikos4433]

Playa Las Teresitas: the sand is carried here from the desert of Africa called Sáhara...😊

[@martina5923]

Beautiful mountainous scenery! Especially looking over the turquoise waters! What a view! And that was funny you mentioning your special hiking shoes, Chris. Was expecting to see the proper ones.😂 Thank you Chris & Carol for taking us along on these Canary Islands adventures!

[@mreppen1]

I’m impressed with Tenerife. The prices are excellent, no big crowds. Nice.

[@i.a.3960]

Loro Park and Teide National Park were an absolute must. I hope you didn't skip it while you were there. Thank you for bringing me back the wonderful memories my wife and I had in Tenerife. We stayed in San Andres for a week, at one of those beautiful homes up the hill, overlooking Playa Las Teresitas. Safe travels! We never jump places before we make sure you jumped there first 😊🧳✈️

[@JumpingPlaces]

cool that you stayed there :D We didn't make it to those places on this trip, next time!

[@dougrock8519]

Carol was right, that town DID look like Valladolid. 👍😃

[@litabiske5409]

Chris, you and Carol are a book of knowledge!! Thank you for another great video. You makes the perfect couple.❤❤

[@JumpingPlaces]

Glad you like them!

[@BauBau9091]

Tenerife is one of the best places I have ever visited. So much lush nature and variety, it is stunning island. But Fuerteventura is not less beautiful. Less variety for sure, but just amazing landscapes! Don't miss Lanzarote, it is very very unique!

[@itg3494]

In Fuerteventura don't miss Cofete , Esquinzo, Mal nombre, Morro jable and Jandia, also Betancuria village.

[@Chris-kn4vf]

15:20 Interesting place

[@Roblynch5550]

This impressed me so much that I'm booking a week there, have done all mainland Spain, never the canaries. Thankyou.

[@JumpingPlaces]

sound good! Now seems like a great time to come to avoid the crowds. From what people are saying it won't be so relaxed like this video in the winter

[@maye9737]

Awesome video….Tenerife is beautiful

[@electriquenikki]

omgg the food at Restaurante Monterrey looks SO good especially those green peppers, beef and fries.

[@litabiske5409]

[@brendasestito3186]

Such a beautiful place! Always luv your vlogs! Looked up that collapsed structure in San Andres, it was a castle that protected pirates way back when, and the tower collapsed from flooding ..fyi, for anyone curious (I'm a history buff); it was a beautiful building! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@diarmuidlong5540]

Loving the video, had never seen this side of Tenerife

[@michaeltemple8269]

Puerto Rico gran canaria is lovely amadores beach you will love Crystal clear water amazing beach

[@heikeherbert3683]

No! The South of Gran Canaria is awful... beautiful beaches destroyed by ugly hotels...lager louts... The very worst aspect of mass tourism...don't go there ( but make an exception for pretty Puerto de Mogan!). Gran Canaria' North and West is much, much better... especially Las Palmas❤

[@satanishangover]

@@heikeherbert3683 You shouldn't generalize. Parts of Maspalomas/Playa del Inglés are incredible, even there are a whole bunch of Hotels as any tourist destination. The Dunes are huge, so hotels are way far from the coast. The promenade from Faro towards Pasito is nice, too. So it's Mogan Port and certain parts of S Agustin. I know ideally no hotels is perfect, but many times is unavoidable. Don't forget tourism there started in the 60s, no much control then. But if what someone is looking for is beaches, most are very nice.

[@satanishangover]

@@heikeherbert3683 I agree in that the North and West are nice, and many times forgotten. Like Guia, Agaete, Bañaderos, San Andrés Las Canteras (in the city). Also some nice natural pools around there, and true much less artificial feeling and authentic than the South, but it depend what one is looking for. I love La Cumbre, Tejeda, Roque Nublo, San Mateo, Teror, Arucas, etc.

[@ayhansimsek8506]

Thanks for sharing this video with us

[@satanishangover]

That architecture resembles partly South America, but even more Madeira's old town areas.

[@JumpingPlaces]

can't wait to visit madeira, hopefully next year we go

[@janakotrcova2790]

I admire the roads,how they wawe like snakes between volcanic eruptions and rocks.Their construction must have been difficult!The houses on the rocks are charming,from a distance they look like colourful matchboxes.The price of the food was incredible,and I honestly envied you that steak,Chris!👍

[@JumpingPlaces]

a truly amazing island to drive around the mountains :D

[@jasondelgatty3583]

I believe they recently had some volcanic activity. Wishing you could have brought that up in your meanderings. I am so very glad you guys chose to visit there.

[@JumpingPlaces]

yes that was on another island la palma

Las Teristas beach is actually manmade with imported sand. Still lovely tho 👍

[@fr9136]

Really enjoying these vids from CANARIAS! Wondering about something-if you could only visit either the Canarias or Naxos or Mykonos, which would you choose? The only drawback that I see for Canarias is the water temperatures are pretty cool…. Thanks always guys! ❤️

[@tanyakaushan5830]

Naxos 100% for me ❤one of the best in Greece

[@JumpingPlaces]

Greece is our favorite place in Europe so far so we would probably go with Naxos. Although Naxos is just one island, the canary islands are many. The canary islands have way more striking landscapes and scenery than Naxos though

[@eugenijussanda4958]

Love u 2. I have been there, every road every feeling is correct as you say. And much more. Love Tenerife. If you spend less than 1 month there or never driven rental car around the island extensively please don't get agenda about this beautiful island. Or local people. It's a paradise, you can get all climate example in the world within 2h drive. In same time you can experience crazy metropolis atmosphere with spirit healing 2 kilometers height moon like volcano that you are in and you don't realize this. Local people do not hate tourist at all as media energising this. Local people want to have a descent life. Bad politics, bad regulations destroying beautiful Tenerife inhabitants lives. Long live my lovely Tenerife people!

[@larrybxl5406]

the sand in Las Teracitas beach is from the sahara, its not natural, was shipped in from Africa

[@JumpingPlaces]

yes just read about that before, apparently they also brought some scorpions with it haha

didn't make it there on this trip

[@annasudhakar6233]

Playa de las Teresitas has been made completely artificial with Sahara sand and those palm trees, (in 1973 - see Wikipedia) it therefore didn't feel like the most beautiful bach to me (seen it in the 90's), much nicer the natural ones, even the black ones in the north! 🌴- I liked very much Playa El Medano, a small surfer beach in the south!

[@satanishangover]

The capital of the Canaries actually switches every 4 years. In this phase it's Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and in the next 4-year phase it will be in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (the biggest city of the Canaries) in the neighbor island of Gran Canaria.

[@JumpingPlaces]

interesting, any reason they are always switching?

[@satanishangover]

@@JumpingPlaces There's always been a very strong competition/rivalry between the two islands, so the only way to agree where to place the capital (being islands is important, too) was to place it in the top city of Gran Canaria and Tenerife, switching every 4 years. 😄

[@lathat40]

This is not true! Both Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria are capitals simultaneously. Santa Cruz is the capital for the western islands and Las Palmas for the eastern ones. It does not switch.

[@satanishangover]

@@lathat40 Of course, it is true!! I better know, as I'm from there 😄. I'll try to explain it clearly, as it's not too easy, as we have islands, cities and provinces sharing the same or similar name, and it may be a bit confusing. The Spanish autonomous region of the Canary Islands is divided into two provinces: 1) Las Palmas; which capital is the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (largest city with approx. 400k inhab., in the island of Gran Canaria). It comprises 4 islands: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and the recently-declared official island, the tiny La Graciosa (geographically, an island; administratively, belonging to Lanzarote). 2) Santa Cruz de Tenerife; which capital is the, equally-named, city of Santa Cruz the Tenerife (approx. 200k inhab., in Tenerife, the largest island). It comprises also 4 islands: Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Now, to clarify your confusion: The Canaries indeed have two region capitals, the cities of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (in the island of Gran Canaria) and Santa Cruz de Tenerife (in the island of Tenerife). The Statute of Autonomy of the Canaries established in 1982 that those were the 2 governing capitals of the Canaries, to be switched every 4 years. Thus, each term it switches to the other main island (each with an official President residence palace), and the President resides in whatever island is the capital at the time. To offset, the VP resides in whatever main island is not the capital at the time. All this above is very true, and in place for more than 40 years! Hopefully, it's totally clear now.

[@lathat40]

@@satanishangover eso tiene más sentido! Pero ambas siguen siendo capitales, lo que cambia es la sede del gobierno. Yo también soy de Canarias :) perdona por la confusión

I visited all those places during the high ( European Winter) season and the difference is like night and day! I actually got tired of Tenerife due to uncontrolled mass tourism ( it's the same in the South- but not the North!! of my beloved Gran Canaria..) . But, thanks to you I know i know the trick is to visit during the summer😁😁😁

[@JumpingPlaces]

yeah its been super laid back during the summer :D Is Gran Canaria less crowded in winter than here?

[@heikeherbert3683]

@@JumpingPlaces Sadly not; but I always stay in the Capital, beautiful Las Palmas, and it attracts a different clientele. Digital Nomads like myself, but also mostly Spanish tourists, or Europeans who want to enjoy museums, great shopping, authentic cuisine and especially cultural events. The South, like Playa del Ingles/ Puerto Rico, caters more for the package tourists, is almost totally built- up with eyesore hotels and thus, in my eyes, much uglier. I always stick to the North, Las Palmas has an absolutely amazing beach , parts of it ideal for surfing. I also love Agaete/ Puerto de los Nieves. Inland white villages worth visiting are Tejeda or Teror!

[@ozmunky]

Tenerife has the highest mountain in all of Spain!

[@JumpingPlaces]

really? had no idea :D

[@heikeherbert3683]

​@@JumpingPlacesYes, Mount Teide, an extinct volcano in the center of the Island... it's actually Tenerife's main tourist attraction - I was surprised you didn't visit. Astronauts practised for the moon landings there

[@Piairom]

I think that beach is not 100% natural...if it was the sand would be darker, like the other parts of the island...that sand probably was taken from other place, Marrocco for example. It is beautiful indeed and the water looks amazing but its not an 100% natural beach like the ones on the island with darker sand...those are 100% natural. 👍🏻

[@JumpingPlaces]

yes it is artificial, online says before there was some sort of rocky black sand beach there. on the next island we visit Fuerteventura there are big natural beaches with light sand though

[@Piairom]

@@JumpingPlaces yes those are really beautiful, probably at the same level in terms of water clearness and quality like the beaches in Sardinia. But in my opinion the Galicia region have some epic beaches and nature too, the water its a lit bit colder but very cristal clear too and the sand is really beautiful...you already went there? Cies islands? The food is the best in Spain...North of Spain is epic! Sardinia is amazing, Italy have a lot of beautiful places too... Keep going dear couple 🤗 love your channel! ❤️

[@JumpingPlaces]

had never heard of those islands, just searched pictures and they look incredible!

[@JumpingPlaces]

"At the time, buying black local sand was too expensive due to its scarcity, so importing white Sahara Desert sand from the Western Sahara (then the Spanish Sahara) was investigated. The white sand was also more appealing for tourists. In 1971, the city council obtained a loan of 50 million pesetas, and purchased 150,000 cubic metres of sand, weighing around 270,000 tons, from the El Aaiún region. It was transported by the company Fosfatos de Bucraa, and 5 million bags of sand arrived in the ship Gopegui. It was used to fill the beach in the first half of 1973 to create the artificial beach of white sand, which opened on 15 June 1973, although with initial problems due to red ants and scorpions that were imported along with the sand."
