A few unusual travel suggestions

All the posts in this blog are based to my real experience in Tenerife. Most of the time I have travelled alone and I talked to many local people on my way.  People from the island are really friendly and they are trying to help if you need some information. Basically if you are here for a couple of days and you want to explore the island the best way to do it is to hire a car, for example from one of the travel agencies   http://carhire.canarias.com/  and just get one of the tour guides spread in the tourist information centers. One other way is of course a guided excursion. This could be at http://www.viajesteide.es/  for example. The choice is big enough. Generally speaking for 10 days spent a good choice are excursions that include: Teide-Icod-Garachico-Masca and simply described trip as Vuelta a la Isla that includes: Los Gigantes, Icod  De Los Vinos, La Orotava and Candelaria. Of course a dolphin watching trip, the most famous attractions (like Loro and Siam park), party and shopping in Las Americas …enough for a   pleasant vacation.  As I am one of the fans of the creative tourism ideas what I would suggest is to try to be part of the culture of the island.  For example a cooking course for traditional Canarian cuisine, a trip at the track of the Guanches (Tegueste is a good point for this kind of trip) or learn a traditional folk dance from Tenerife (Tajarastes, Tanganillos, Saltonas) or learn to play on a small string instrument called Timple (typical for the Canary Islands), learn a few   ¨ sentences¨ from the whistled language Silbo of La Gomera or subscribe to Tenerife Photography tours. At the end all of these are part of the ¨program¨ enjoy your holiday by learning a new skill, it might be useless but what if inspires you for something that could really change your life.
