Vacation Tenerife

I saw an article on Twitter last week referring to people feeling embarrassed to say that they had been/were going on holiday to Tenerife.

They must be sad people indeed, I can only assume that they haven’t really looked at the Island and you can only blame the Television for this as they only show in the main the 1/2 mile stretch called ‘Veronicas’, which is where the youngsters come for the night clubs, in the past it has got a bit rowdy and noisy and has probably earn’t it’s bad name, but over the last two or three years it has been cleaned up and has greatly improved and it doesn’t get into the news like it used to do.

It’s amazing how such a minuscule  part of the island can give the rest of the Island such a bad name.

What the television often forgets to show you is the beautiful scenery, lush forests and mountains all topped with the majestic Volcano ‘El Teide’ surrounded by the ‘Parque National del Teide’ , it’s something to behold, no matter how many times you drive through the crater it stills has that feeling of wonder especially when you see where the larva ran and set and the rock formations are incredible.

There is so much to do and see on the Island of Tenerife, so much History to explore, it’s a wonderful Island and one that everyone should be proud to visit.

Living the Dream is for those who plan to escape to another country, another climate and another lifestyle. It is a dream of opening a new chapter in life and to expose the reader to a new culture, a new pace and perhaps a new language.

Canary Islands question by ji234: Are you Canary Islands still part of Spain?
Wikipedia says that Spain granted the Canary Islands autonomy in 1982, so does that mean that they are not controlled at all by Spain? Or is it that they are allowed to rule themselves, but still under broader Spanish control?

Canary Islands best answer:

Answer by Jane S
It means, like all of the autonomous regions in Spain, that they have some measure of governing themselves UNDER the Spanish central government. Much like the states in the US.

Autonomy is NOT Independence.
