With the help of RCI Holiday Guides, Mrs. Li, we took a tour of Paris, Tenerife, and Madrid in Europe in August this year. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, especially Tenerife, a place recommended by her which left us with an absolutely memorable experience.
Tenerife is the largest among all the Canary Islands, which are located in the south of Spain. It is also known as “Happy Islands” in the world. Geologically, it is part of Africa, but according to the law, it is actually an overseas autonomous community of Spain. The island is blessed with beautiful sunshine, scenic mountains, and waters, elegant houses scattered here and there rows upon rows, and lush vegetation. Pictures that you take are as beautiful as those printed on the postcards.
This part of the world is home to the highest point in Spain – Teide Peak, which is the world’s third-highest volcano and one of the 16 existing active volcanoes in the world. The mountain is 3,718 meters above sea level. Taking the high-speed cable car, it can climb more than 1,000 metres within five minutes to reach the top. The unique geological structure makes the local landscape and ecological system quite diverse, ranging from sea beaches to snow-capped mountains, dense woods to deserts, and rock formations. Undoubtedly, the vast stretch of beach is something essential for island scenery. It is always a busy place on a weekend as families and friends rush here to enjoy the beautiful sunshine, soft sand, and waves. On the island, there is a wealth of economic, diverse, and considerate tourist programs available, such as a tour around the island, visiting Teide Park which features the volcanic landforms, exploring Tenerife under the star-filled night sky, taking the submarine down to as deep as 27 meters in the Atlantic Ocean for a glimpse of the undersea world, taking the ship to watch the whales and fishing out in the sea. Among these, the tour around the island is the most interesting. It can help you have a taste of the unique style of the island, including the craggy cliffs, broad beaches, barren dunes, vast stretches of banana plantations, peaceful towns, time-honored churches, thousand-year-old dragon trees, traditional hollowed-out embroidery, and delicious local food such as the seafood, Canary soup, tapas, papas arrugadas, and home-brewed wine.
The Beverly Hills Club we checked in is a Gold Crown holiday resort. The beautiful white houses built on the mountain slope together with the blue sky form a picturesque scene! All the houses are equipped with the necessary facilities for daily life. The one-bedroom apartment we stayed in has an open kitchen. The kitchen wares in it are even more complete than those in our own home, which really made us feel at home. Below the balcony is a swimming pool which is free of charge. Sunshine lovers can enjoy the sunbathing on beach chairs every day. Performances of songs and dances can be seen at the atrium every night. The passionate Spanish dance is that impressive. This is really a wonderful holiday paradise! When leaving here, we couldn’t help exclaiming: Goodbye, beautiful Tenerife! Thank you for giving us an unforgettable experience!
