Tamaimo

Today we had ambitious plans: after a relaxing morning at home, we bought something to eat in the store across the road and headed to the west coast of the island: Tamaimo.
The idea was to do a loop hike at Tamaimo and in the evening, just before sunset, drive up mount Teide to do a shorter hike and stay after sunset to watch the stars.

The hike in Tamaimo turned out to be a lot heavier than anticipated. The trail starts with a hefty climb to the top of a mountain ridge. Near the top we had some slight rain showers which quickly turned the trail in muddy condition with slippery stones. Nevertheless, we saw amazing sights along the way and the view down to Los Gigantes is impressive.

After the exhausting walk we decided to head back home instead of going up the mountain.
A small Italian restaurant down the street proved to serve amazing pizzas! Mount Teide with its planned hike will be moved up in our schedule later this week.Läs mer
