Tenerife and hiking up mount El Teide, starting with visiting La Gomera


The little house on the left is where you have to show your ID
Am starting to hope there will not be any clouds by the time I get to the top
Being able to speak my own language in the Spanish mountains
I think these mountains are beautiful
The blue sky is giving me hope to see the other islands from the top
This beautiful couple is from Belgium (Hasselt)
Blue sky mixed with clouds
Blue sky at the top, but no islands to be seen!
My aim was to get to the top and I did get there
Beautiful clouds taking the view away
Who says this is not beautiful?
The top of the volcano El Teide, highest point of Spain (3.718m)
Being happy coming down, even though I did not see La Palma, nor La Gomera...
That's all folks, just clouds...
21 years back in time : Tenerife June 1991
We found out that the free stay was actually to try and sell us a time-sharing apartment

Hé Cherian, thank you for your positive comment but these were just the first pictures of my first excursion in Tenerife, a whole day to the isle of La Gomera by boat and then travelling around the island of La Gomera there. You see the isle of Tenerife from La Gomera which indeed is very beautiful is it not? You can also see that there were a lot of fires and loads of trees were burned down, you could still smell it too. I hope to have the time today to put the other pictures of my actual climbing of the vulcano; the only thing of the climbing you see here is my new hiking shoes! Have a great day Cherian!
