Buy a property, such as this Tenerife apartment which does not only have a balcony for enjoying best views but, is also for drying your washing. When Tenerife apartments come without balconies, make sure they have an azotea, which is a rooftop for the house community... This saves on electricity for tumble drying. Penthouses in Tenerife North or south almost always have a balcony, where no azotea is needed.
