Twenty-five years ago, I would have greeted news of heatwaves in Britain with a ‘YAY! About time we got some hot weather.’ But nearly twenty years of living on Tenerife and in Portugal completely changed […]
The first thing I have to say is that, over the course of four years exploring and helping create Slow Travel holidays across the country, walking in Peneda-Gerês National Park gave us the best experiences […]
There’s a question to do with outside leisure that pops up every now and again, and which has some people involved in the activity pondering, maybe even as they yomp (another term thrown into the […]
It’s sixteen years since we set up our first website to share what we were discovering about the real Tenerife. The website was an afterthought, designed to accompany a driving guide to some of our […]
