• Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

    November 17 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

    Tenerife is the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, off West Africa. It's dominated by Mt. Teide, a dormant volcano that is Spain's tallest peak.
    Today we had a semi private tour of the island.
    The tour consisted of driving around this beautiful island and stopping at beautiful places to take pictures. We drove to elevation of 2km. The weather was perfect. And we were over the clouds.
    We stopped at the restaurant and tried Barraquito.
    A barraquito is a layered coffee drink from the Canary Islands, made with sweetened condensed milk, Licor 43 (a Spanish liqueur), espresso, and frothed milk. It is typically garnished with a cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon and a twist of lemon peel, and is known for its sweet, spicy, and citrusy flavors. To drink it, you stir all the layers together.

    Can’t say that I loved it.

    By the end of the tour we stopped at the La Corona town for little tour around and a lunch.
