We toured the island - stayed in 6 different places to be able to spend a bit of time in different areas, visited different beaches, places to eat and shops. Visited an old Canarian house and mill - very interesting. Also stayed on a family finca (farm) with cave - that was an interesting change from the normal tourist spots. The car meant we had ease of travelling to all the different places

We discovered a variety of excellent restaurants at Los Gigantes where we were staying. Cafe Bistro 22, Brisa The Wine Bar and Terrace (great food and entertainment). Activities we enjoyed were Paragliding (Brisa Paragliding near Adeje) and walking the Baranco del Infierno (11 Euros pp), sight seeing highlights included an early drive to Masca and a visit to the national park to see Mount Teide and the other amazing views.
