Tenerife,
between ocean
and volcanoes

Welcome to my blog dedicated to the beautiful island of Tenerife !

Tenerife is much more than a destination in the sun, beaches and a great volcano (even if it alone, it deserves of course one or even several visits!) Through this blog, I just want to show a (small) part of the great diversity of landscapes, of the culture and riches offered by this beautiful island 💗

Explore the Anaga Rural Park

The Anaga Rural Park lies in the northeast of Tenerife, just a few kilometers from Santa Cruz and La Laguna and one hour far from my guesthouse Un Jardin al Mar by car.

Discovering the murals of Tenerife

Tenerife is known for its volcanic landscapes, black and golden beaches, and charming cities. Beyond its natural beauty, the island also has a vibrant urban art scene. Since I moved there to open my bed and breakfast Un Jardin al Mar, I let myself be amazed by the works of art that color the walls of the island.

The gofio, more than a food, a symbol of Canarian identity

Impossible to miss the gofio when one is interested in the culture of the Canary Islands! When I moved to Tenerife to open my bed and breakfast Un Jardin al Mar, I discovered this simple and nourishing food, inherited from the aboriginal Guanches people and still very present in the local cuisine.
