21-12-13

I start the day with packing up from my ‘tiny house flat’ in the historic centre of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Then I make my way back to the Auditorio, to ask whether they do guided tours this morning. And, yes, they do – at 12:30! A bit later than I had hoped, but better than not at all 😉

So I wait, sitting on the quay wall in the sun, watching the fishers and reading.

Turns out, no one else wants to join this tour this morning; usually the minimum is 2 people… but the kind and knowledgeable guide gives me a ‘private’ tour anyway 🙂

After this highlight, I jump on a bus to San Christobal de la Laguna, where I have booked a good deal at the Grand Hotel for tonight.

An hour later (incl. the walk from the bus station and check-in at the hotel), I’m here:

My original plan was for taking a bus up to the near Anaga-‘mountains’ and go for a 2-3hours walk there until sunset… but: this pool terrace looked too tempting!

So I spend another couple of hours relaxing and reading in the sun again, before heading out for a stroll to see La Laguna before nightfall.

It seems to have been quite an important and rich town; the islands oldest church location claims to be here.

And lots of very grand residential houses. One of which has been transformed to be part of my hotel.

That’s it for today… sorry, except the insides of the Auditorio (which photos can’t really do justice), not much exciting stuff today 😉

Not much km to speak of today.
