On the eastern tip of Tenerife, you will find the Anaga Rural Park (Parque Rural de Anaga). The park is filled with hills, steep cliffs, amazing views, and serpentine roads. For us, it was a first day traveling on the narrow roads of the Tenerife mountains. Anaga Rural Park The […]
The last outpost before the tourist areas of Tenerife is the small fishing village Los Abrigos. It is just a short drive from El Médano and it was the starting point for an Eco Walking Tour that we decided to join. The tour was organized as a school project by […]
Right outside of El Médano is the Reserva natural especial de Montaña Roja, or the Special Nature Reserve Red Mountain in English. The main sight within the reserve is the cone volcano – the Montaña Roja. Rising 171 meters above the sea it does not only pose as an impressive […]
We had never really considered the Canary Island as a travel destination. With the risk of sounding smug, we thought that it was a place for charter tourists, staying on the same beach and drinking alcoholic drinks for a week. We are more than happy to confess that we were […]
A lot of people look for sun and beaches when traveling with their kids. For us, we were more looking for nice views and new experiences when we recently visited Madeira. The island was great for our purposes, but how was it for traveling with an infant? Here are our […]

Traveling is not always a dance on roses. Sometimes you actually get sick. That is exactly what has happened to me. I spent the night with a fever and a nasty headache and have used the day to rest. Maybe it’s good for all of us to have some rest after […]
Times flies when you are traveling. It is already the end of day four here on Madeira. We took it really easy this morning because we wanted to wait and see how well Little A was feeling after the first days here on the island. Luckily she seems to be […]
We could hear the wind roar this night. A storm must have been passing by as the rain was falling and the wind sounded more than during our first days. When we woke up in the morning the wind had started to calm down and it was only a light […]
