Routes, hidden beaches, restaurants and road-trip wisdom - written by the people who drive this island every week.
La Orotava is the town you should visit on foot and reach by car. Its historic centre climbs the side of the valley in steep, narrow streets lined with old houses and churches, and the easiest day there starts with a decision made before you arrive: where to leave the car. This guide is about…
A full loop of Tenerife by car is roughly 200 km. Driven without stops through the north-west, a routing engine puts it at a little over three hours behind the wheel. That figure is the floor, not the plan: add photo stops, a lunch, a slow climb behind a bus on a mountain road, and…
Garachico and Icod de los Vinos sit six kilometres apart on the north-west coast, joined by the TF-42. That makes them one of the easiest pairings on the island: a town built on old lava with sea pools in it, and a town whose main sight is a single enormous tree. Half a day covers…

The useful question is whether the exact car, your overnight arrangements and the stops on your own itinerary make charging straightforward.

Start with the terms for the exact company and vehicle, then check that your pet can travel safely in the specific car. In Mandry Cabrio’s current rental terms, carrying animals is allowed only by prior agreement. The terms do not specify an…
Choosing one vehicle for a group is not just a seat-count calculation. A listing can help you screen options, but it does not prove that your passengers, cases, child restraints or preferred seating arrangement will work together. Start with the numbers the listings actually show, write down your group’s needs and ask the operator to…
The road to Masca village and the walk through Barranco de Masca are different plans. Driving the TF-436 does not reserve a place on the trail, and visiting the village does not require the same booking as the gorge. For the regulated hike, start with the current official trail booking and read its access instructions…
