Finally a beach day! But we started with a visit to the weekend market at Mercado Agricultora de las Guardas. The best market by far, so special thanks to Jorge for the recommendation!
We picked up pork & sausages, cheeses, produce and desserts for the makings of a wonderful dinner. Also several souvenirs including soaps. Suzanne was very tempted by the hand made ukuleles. Given the cost, they required a true commitment to learning, and in the end she held back. But not before we were provided with a beautiful serenade by the craftsman.
And then to the sand! We headed to Playa de Las Teresitas which is north east of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This was the first ‘tourist enabled’ beach we have planted ourselves on. For 10 Euro each we have a chair & umbrella and beach service with a 10 Euro credit for food/drink. So a couple of caipirinhas, agua con gas and burgers later we had more than exhausted the credit! Alas, camera free, so no photos.
In the end, we decided to keep the market goods for dinner tomorrow and settled for salad and some other leftovers at home. So some cards and to bed – an early start tomorrow for our big adventure up Tiede – and we are all keen, but just don’t know what to wear…. -2C???!!!
