Tenerife trips to La Baranda to sample wines plus insider tips for lots more small excursions.

Doing Tenerife trips to Casa del Vino La Baranda in Tenerife North El Sauzal (right next to Tacoronte) might require leaving your car safely at home.

Why?

The wines on offer are plentiful.
By the time you might finish tasting most of them your head might spin.

You may sample the wines inside the old finca (farmstead) or outside on a veranda with view.

Finca wine house La Baranda casa del vino Trips to the Wine House La Baranda should be fun.

Who wants to worry about getting a traffic ticket or causing an accident or,
worse after a nice outing
to a special place?

La Baranda has become yet another one of incredibly varied Tenerife museums.

So, please, go educate yourself at the museum of wines.

Learn how wines on the
island were made in the past and, what they taste like in comfortable surroundings. Better than school... Ha!

How get there?

As said before, not with your car and not with Grandpa's either...

Have a look at this Tenerife map: to find El Zauzal to the north of Puerto de la Cruz. Find a more detailed road description in link La Baranda Tenerife a few lines, underneath...

Insider tips for short trips in Tenerife:

More wine sampling places for Tenerife trips via Fincas in Tenerife: with Finca del Arte for music, food and drinks and other places or, go straight to

the Bodega of the shrewd monk

or, to Abaco for cock-tails

Other short excursions within Tenerife:

You could do trips to Puerto Cruz to have a drink in the middle of Lago Martianez seen here with its little isle Martianez pool bar.

Martianez pool bar in middle of lago -Tenerife trips


view off La Paz Puerto Cruz to Martianez Bay Hike up to la Paz by the Martianez Pyramides steps to get on foot to the great view point over Martianez and Puerto Bay and sit high above the mighty Atlantic sipping anything you like.


ocean view off la paz Just walk down from Supermercado 2000 (Spar supermarket) towards ocean view. You can't miss it...Cross the little square a photo of which you see in Supermercado 2000 page and turn right and then straight ahead down some steps to view La Paz Puerto Cruz.

You could include a very pleasant walk back to Puerto Cruz by a pedestrian passage also shown in Supermercado page.

wish tree Jardin Botanico  Puerto Cruz Tenerife Another option would have been to pay a Tenerife trip to the magnificent park Jardín Botánico which is rather small and partitioned like in grids. Admire its ancient wish tree with incredible exposed roots and tell it what you desire. Make only one wish... This most stunning of Puerto's gardens is on top of la Paz.

In the future, the Puerto Cruz Botanic Gardens will merit a longer trip because, an additional 60 000 square meters will be added to them, soon, which will extend almost as far as the Free Way TF 5, close by. I heard this secret chatting to the officer at the till, last time I went there.

Do trips for forest walks...

Drive from La Orotava for Tenerife trips Agua Mansa which is on the road to Mount Teide.

Walking in Tenerife in this area may become an adventure, though. Arrive early there... Otherwise you may end up in a typical Tenerife rain forest caused by sudden creeping up thick clouds might when you may get lost. Eat yummy fresh trout just before reaching the forests or enjoy a snack at a small restaurant near Agua Mansa Caldera fountain under trees!

More Puerto Cruz trips

Tenerife trips to Puerto de la Cruz are always worth it in the oldest resort of the island.

A Puerto Cruz shopping trip lets you discover a never thought of treasure while strolling through a huge olden days' pedestrian zone which makes for a pleasant change.

Take a break during any Puerto Cruz excursion at Café Paris by San Telmo beach front a place we learned to love during our 1997 holiday in Tenerife
for relaxing and watching tourists and many locals walk by.

Reserve, at least, half a day for a Lido Martianez trip right opposite Café Paris.

Make sure you book a day trip for whale watching by Los Gigantes, early.

Banana Plantations San Pedro Tenerife

Trips from north towards Icod los Vinos:

Drive on TF5 from Santa Cruz-La Orotava-past Puerto Cruz for trips towards Icod Los Vinos. Go past Los Realejos and stop less than 10 minutes from there on coastal road at San Pedro Restaurant view point, above the most pristine nature reserve and hiking path next to breath taking bananeras (banana plantations)... Leave your car at San Pedro and enjoy... Also, food is quite good and not expensive at San Pedro. There's a veranda outside, too...

Or do Tenerife trips taking Titsa buses 107, 108, 363, 364 direction San Juan de la Rambla and make sure in Puerto Cruz at (ticket sales counter) that all bus lines stop at San Vincente. From there you walk back about 500 meters to San Pedro view point.

Another good spot, absolutely, worth a small tour on Tenerife Island, especially, for sundowner drinks while watching the sunset over La Gomera is the waterfront Garachico which is worth combining with Garachico shopping trip, for nice little affordable things to get with a hint of art in the back street tiny town.

Do a trip to mighty Mount Teide and its Cañadas by way of planning your own Teide excursions. However,pre-book an organized tour, rather, when only on short holiday as not to miss out on anything because the Tenerife Highlands are big and the experience of a life time.

Drago tree La Orotava Casa Lercaro

Do one or more Orotava trips...

Plan Tenerife trips to la Orotava and admire Drago Lercaro. At Casa Lercaro La Orotava sit on a veranda inside a genuine old Tenerife indoor patio for yummy snacks or drinks while absorbing the amazing mood of this timeless location.

Have some tapas (short Spanish Island snacks like little salads) on La Orotava Town Square by the bridge under shady trees. On the bridge note a large map of the town on a board. Many buses take you to the town's main bus station from where you walk up the main road and turn right on top where you almost see the town square.

For safe parking you would have to drive uphill to the old town to get lucky. Walking straight from bridge on Old Main Road you find best places to see right there. Look at the ancient Town Hall where church Iglesia de de Concesión nearby is a dream for art lovers. Don't miss out on Casa de los Balcones and Casa de la Artesania one of biggest Tenerife handicraft shops on other side of road.

San Juan Rambla promenade Tenerife

Pay San Juan de la Rambla a visit...

Go do a west coast trip to San Juan de la Rambla with its romantic San Juan Rambla promenade at night. stroll through this delightful typical small town with rock pools by the shore. It's a small artists' town I got to know by all its roads when doing door to door surveys as mentioned in page about me. San Juan de la Rambla is similar to Garachico but, not exactly as beautiful because much less has been restored.

I've seen exhibitions where they served free exquisite buffet cocktail snacks at
Restaurante Palmeras Arte
also has superb upstairs rooms with indoor garden.
good varied Catalan kitchen
nice salads
Calle estrecha, 15 (by big old church)

Ikea Tenerife trips:

People with a new holiday home in Tenerife, usually, do many trips to Ikea near Santa Cruz which provides so much home decorating and furnishing inspiration. I also found my wooden computer corner desk there which I didn't see anywhere else. Do a trip to this Scandinavian mall and you will see why strolling around there gives you a real holiday feel...

More trip options from or to Puerto Cruz:

Have a look at suggestions for Tenerife trips by bus from Puerto de La Cruz for getting around to the south and nearby or vice versa.

Check all Tenerife attractions as options to do more Tenerife trips such as small or long adventure excursions.

Different trips for different seasons.

One example would be to see flowering almond trees in spring near Masca or on the way to Cañadas.

Mountain resort pick-nicks are best done to escape summer heat to exchange for mountain walks or hikes.

Surfing trips to different beaches are best in autumn or spring.

Although Tenerife is not a big island it's impossible to to do enough trips while on a short holiday, only. Therefore, people keep their own holiday home in Tenerife, very often, to be used in winter while some let it out sometime during the rest of the year. Occasionally, they prefer their holidays in summer because, some trips lend themselves better for that season such as many which are geared towards some water sports in Tenerife.
