May Los Realejos photos help you getting around driving or even walking.
The Los Realejos photos were not taken on the clearest of days. However, let me not wait for a better 2nd chance. Let me share the discovery, I made with them, as they may be a lovely alternative to satellite images. Let me help you with landmarks, which are clearly inserted in Los Realejos images. The fact that Puerto de la Cruz and la Orotava come up in the background will assist you very much as overall orientation picture in a broader context. The photos are kind of areal pictures. Or call them birds eye views... I wish they were portraying the sight, the indigenous Tenerife eagle would have.
The photo shows you the tiny town of La Vera Los Realejos and Las Arenas joined between Mount Aguilas and Mount Monasterio. By the way, the La Villa Alcampo Leroy Merlin traffic circle of Los Realejos is to the left and behind the Monasterio. This means, you will have to turn off the freeway TF5 exactly there. Or take the first turn to the right in central La Vera village. This photo of Los Realejos will help all those, who struggled to find the Monasterio theme park with nature reserve and many restaurants. Click image to enlarge...
Trace the smaller elevation next to El Monasterio. Hotel Las Aguilas stands on top of it. Just figure its view... No high rise constructions obscure it.
Let your eyes move to the Orotava Valley coast where you find written Orotava Bay. It is called Rincon de la Orotava in Spanish.
Enlarge photo and notice the blue, coastal sky scraper of Hotel Maritim Tenerife... It marks the border of Realejos Bajo and Puerto de la Cruz. Drive up the steep hill from the hotel on the endless seeming La Longuera road. Roadworks there now until end of 2009... The Longuera leads to all sections of Los Realejos. By the way, here you best chance to see the blue Hotel Maritim Tenerife Hotel Maritim Realejos and surroundings...
The numerous built up areas depicted show much concrete jungle. However, discover much of agricultural and recreation land in between. Almost all dark green colors represent banana plantations. Not all of the agricultural areas are green. This is also one of Realejos Tenerife photos taken during a long dry period. You cannot see the slopes to the right of La Orotava and Los Realejos. Here, more mountain villages would be found such as Agua Mansa of La Orotava or Palo Alto of Realejos.
Driving would take about 15 minutes to get from Hotel Maritim Tenerife to the one of the rocks. The photo is typical for the many bends of the romantic west coast of the Los Realejos region. I almost forgot to mention the lovely Realejos suburb of Romantica 1. Some of its low buildings which are built on terraces overlook the scenery in the image. A friend of mine lives right there and feels like in paradise.
Thought after Los Realejos holiday rental:Romantica-1 and 2 harbor many a holiday home in Tenerife. There, apartments have been in demand from the 70ies onwards, besides villas with or without pool. Learn why self catering Tenerife apartments are very popular in some parts of Los Realejos as holiday lets...See some stunning photos which complement the last picture in History Tenerife which is partly a legend...
It depicts the rural charm of this small Tenerife town which is one of the richest for its Spain traditions of religious festivals. The rows of buildings which seem to trail up represent houses on 2 sides of a main road with an ancient church on the top of the hill. You cannot see, how easy it is to walk over from there to Upper Los Realejos. This, was once my only chance to get to a Romeria festival, when most of the town of Realejos was cordoned off to all traffic including public buses and taxis. The same photo in larger version reveals clearly where to find the popular resort Tropicana which houses many a holiday home in Tenerife of private owners. By the way, the next photo is interesting as easy 2nd walking option to enter the Rambla del Castro in Romantica 2, unless you hike from the Maritim. Follow La Longuera along the bend you see, turn first to the right. The second roadway to the left is the Rambla del Castro entrance before reaching the bottom of Romantica 2.

Multi million road will relieve La Longuera:
Soon end of 2009, the new road from the La Vera motor way will take off the traffic burden. The multi-million project was already in the pipeline in 1997 and took years to materialize. Figure that most of the buildings, you see on the first photo in this page, hide a combined Tenerife population of 108 999 inhabitants, made up of La Orotava as leading with 40644. Realejos is 2nd with 37 224 and Puerto de la Cruz with 31 131. The total inhabitants numbers of the 3 towns of la Orotava Valley give you almost half the number of people of the capital.(Census 2007) More now... To judge by tiny dots of sky risers, which are mainly hotels of Puerto de la Cruz, imagine, how many tourists top this population figure in the Orotava Valley... Believe me, much of the road traffic caused gave head aches on Calle Longuera which. represents a busy suburb of Los Realejos Bajo (low) together with Toscal further down the long road. Interesting is, not to turn back to the freeway. In that case you proceed straight on the now narrow La Longuera. It brings you to the traffic circle below San Agustin Los Realejos Alto. There you may climb and find your way to the mountains below Teide. Turning off to the right by that circle you reach the coastal road to San Vincente, Icod de los Vinos and then your way to Tenerife South.
