Given that so many of us have found ourselves with a little more time on our hands at the moment and nowhere to go, many are picking up new hobbies, going back to baking, turning to exercise, and other activities that are all about taking care of ourselves, being kind to ourselves, and treating ourselves better. One activity that has garnered a lot more attention than it already normally does, and is being turned into an art form in even your average home, is coffee-making. Normal coffee drinkers are embracing the ritual of drip coffee, trying new blends they might never have considered before, and attempting more exotic and moreish coffee recipes at home that would usually only be reserved for holidays.

One such coffee recipe comes from Spain, and more specifically the Canary Islands, the barraquito, which is a coffee cocktail unique to the area....so, not strictly a coffee, more like an Irish Coffee but it can be made either without the alcohol, for a sweet afternoon pick-me-up, or with alcohol, as a dessert after a particularly good meal. Delicious and utterly decadent, it is a must for those who like their coffee sweet and filling!

Tenerife is not just an excellent holiday destination for those looking for winter sun, good value for money, and sizzling hot summers. It is more than just a wonderful sun holiday location that attracts flocks of tourist crowds to its well-established resorts each year for good reason, though it certainly is that. In addition to all of this, Tenerife is also an incredible volcanic island with a unique and strikingly beautiful landscape. If you're interested in the great outdoors, exploring, and stunning views, then a villa in Tenerife is a brilliant idea as it boasts lots of places and attractions where adventure and thrills are the order of the day.

Made up of dramatic desert plains punctuated by colourful reptiles and and tough bright blooms that fight to appear between craggy rocks, the scenery of much of the island of Tenerife is undoubtedly unforgettable, stark, and lovely. This amazing landscape is best showcased and most apparent in the Teide National Park, which is also home to Mount Teide, the highest point in Spain and one of the highest volcanoes in the world. Still active (it has not erupted since 1909, though it has a history of destructive eruptions), Mount Teide is a UNESCO awarded World Heritage Site and the most visited natural wonder of Spain. Located in the most visited national park in Spain and Europe and the eighth most visited in the world, it attracts some 3 million visitors yearly. In fact, the number of visitors only increases year by year. If you have found a vacation rental in Tenerife, you should make sure to set aside some time to visit it yourself!

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and, like the other islands, was created by volcanic activity. As a result, the natural beaches of this beloved sun holiday destination are largely small strips of black sand. Striking and fascinating as these beaches are, if you have been thinking about a holiday in Tenerife and are browsing our villas in Tenerife, then we recommend spending some time on the picture-perfect Playa de Las Teresitas. This artificial tourist beach has been carefully designed as a little slice of paradise and is the ideal place to stake out a spot, leave your daily concerns far behind, soak up the sun, and relax in the most beautiful of surroundings.
