Sorry for the lull - we're not surprised that we haven't updated in a week. No, we did not drop off the face of the Earth... we were busy exploring with Barrett! In just seven days the three of us conquered just about EVERYTHING this amazing island has to offer. The events and adventures of the last week will be thoroughly covered in the next few posts, but right now we're in our favorite Puerto Cruz cafe, El Secreto sneaking in one last post before we depart for Barcelona in a few hours. For now, we want to share with you our humble Canarian home!

Of course we found this lovely place on Airbnb.com - our absolute favorite website for providing inexpensive accommodations that assist in the "authentic" less touristy experience. Our wonderful but absent host (he lives in Seville, Spain and rents his Tenerife home) Pepe provided us with everything we needed for our four-week stay.

The approximately 500 ft2 apartment was on the seventh floor of a neat building just outside the city center of Puerto de la Cruz. We were within short walking distance (15 minutes or less) of great shopping, the main beach Playa Jardin, the islands biggest attraction Loro, the town square of Puerto Cruz, and of course the bus station.

The cozy little apartment had three beds, a tiny little kitchen, bathroom with stand-up shower, washing machine and enclosed patio. The apartment was just enough to comfortably accommodate the two of us for three weeks, and a third person for a few days! It's safe to say that at just under $900 for the month we were more than satisfied with our living situation.

Xo,
