Hello again Freddie and Monica I am very happy that you continue to enjoy so much on my island. Yes, you really liked the route up Teide, from the southern part (which is the driest on the island), when you make the descent or ascent from the northern part (by La Esperanza TF-21 or by La Orotava TF- 24) you will not stop hallucinating. There you will see clearly how you go from a vegetation of medium height to that of high mountains. I recommend that you stop at several viewpoints on the TF-21, but be sure to visit the Chipeque viewpoint (it is the best view of Teide and the best northern part you will ever see; because if you are lucky you will be able to see the authentic sea of clouds ). By the way, know that the Canary Island pine is the only pine in the world that supports fire. Although you see its exterior burned, inside it continues to live, after one or two years, it will regain its leaves and little by little it will be like again. The famous stone on which everyone takes photos on foot of Mount Teide is not "El finger de Dios" (which was in Gran Canaria), it is "El Roque Cinchado". Indeed, when Christopher Columbus passed through Tenerife back to La Gomera in 1492, Tenerife had not yet been conquered by the Kingdom of Castile, they did it between 1494 and 1496 (Tenerife was the last island to be conquered by the Spanish). I think your GPS made an alternative route to the usual one (where the roads are actually much better). Ah I forgot to tell you that the two parts of the movie "Clash of the Titans" parts of them were recorded here in Tenerife (in Teide, Teno, Abades ...) Greetings. 😉

What a ride ! These long mountain roads without cross streets , traffic signals and traffic jams, I bet you can finally break your habit of checking your turn signal switch ! As you mentioned a while back you wanted to do….I wish you guys were our neighbors, such a great couple you are 😎. It would be a blast 😆, but we’re in the USA

Thanks very much Brian!🙂🙌🏻 It’s amazing to have such long uninterrupted open roads- this is a thing that doesn’t exist in SE England at all! I finally kicked the indicator habit, but now I keep forgetting to cancel my indicators!🤣

The film “1000,000 yearsBC” with Racquel Welch was filmed in the main crater. It’s still a fair walk from the cable car to the top and it has several little steam vents up there - just ask my other half!

Oh wow, so interesting! And apparently only 200 people a day are allowed to climb it

Did you ride the bonny over there? I'm curious how you got the bike to the island 🤔

Well now I am green with jealousy! That ride looks fabulous. I wonder what shipping costs would be to send my T120 over there?😌
