November 30, 2024,El Medano to Montana Roja

One last hike before flight back home 😢

Montana Roja was the main point about the hike, but also included was an excursion to Playa de la Tejita for the only dip during my one-week Tenerife holiday.

Hoping to be back soon, feels like I've only touched the island so far!

The short version is 78km - 1h30min journey over never-ending serpentines, plus a really slow 50hp manual transmission rental car, the access road 7km from our parking space closed and our destination under a thick rain cloud that hadn't cleared even after 3 hours. …

January 3, 2026,Um den Montaña Roja

A strong westerly wind has been blowing since New Year's Day. The rain has stopped and the sun is shining again. Because of the wind, we prefer to go behind the mountain rather than up it. El Medano is packed with people. We grab a snack at the new Venezuelan restaurant and the wind suddenly disappears. Back in La Tejita, …
