The final part of my epic Tenerife tour concludes this week with a visit to the phenomenal Anaga Rural Park!
The beauty of this part of the island would
take a thousand words to describe… So I'll use a photo instead.
This national park, very close to the
capital, Santa Cruz, has gorgeous jagged mountains that look like broken shards
to pottery rising from the ground. Simply stunning. See it for yourself in our 360 video.
As well as mountains, the park is home to laurel forests that are 40 million years old…living fossils, so to speak.
When visiting the park I also drove along the coast, stopping in a
few small towns and I was just in absolute awe. Of all the things I saw in Tenerife, this part of the island and Masca were the most beautiful in my opinion, along with
the views from Teide.
This trip reopened my eyes to travelling
again… I mean, they hadn't been shut for long but the peace of mind that comes
from taking in this natural beauty cannot be understated. The older I get, the
more time I need in nature, without speaking, without a podcast in my ear, simply
alone with nature.
Lucky for me, I would be heading back to
mainland Spain and going on an epic trip around Andalusia, the southern region of
Spain, known for its beauty and cultural interest. I would get time alone in
nature, as well as exploring the cultural hotspots of Seville and Cadiz with Katie.
I just feel very grateful to be living this life of adventure - thank you all for reading.
See you next week!
