Some time ago when Jack excitedly told me that one of his boyhood heroes, Richard Burton, had actually visited Tenerife, I was, to say the least, under-whelmed.
I had always known that James Bond (aka Sean Connery) was his greatest idol, but Liz Taylor’s third husband?!
My ignorance was quickly put to shame when I learned about [...]
The Christmas and New Year period has seen me walking off Jack’s excellent roast potatoes in the Teide crater, or Las Cañadas to give it its Sunday name.
Gingerly picking my way across compacted ice and snow; climbing ever higher in the thin air; half skiing, half running down the loose scree covered slopes of Guajara [...]
Well, party season’s over, Tres Reyes has been and gone, the decorations are down and we’re all back at work, so that can only mean one thing…Carnaval!
With less than 3 weeks to go before the start of festivities in Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz, Jack takes us on a surreal and hedonistic journey [...]
Well Tres Reyes has been and gone and Los Magos (disguised as Telefónica engineers) were kind enough to bring us internet and telephone connectivity to the new office so we now have contact with the outside world once again.
Our new telephone number is: 922 716 889 and our new fax number is: 922 719 260.

If your jewellery says something about you, then ‘elegant and sophisticated’ is what it says about Margaret Simms.
Growing up in London in the Swinging Sixties, Margaret reveals in December’s Living Tenerife how her passion for jewellery took her from the then-centre-of-the-universe, Portabello Road, all the way to Los Cristianos market.
Incidentally, you’d describe my jewellery as [...]
I’ve discovered the recipe for the best bocadillos on the planet:
1. Make up bocadillos with filling of your choice.
2. Pack them in a sandwich bag and place in bottom of a rucksack beside a litre and a half bottle of water, sun cream and some plasters.
3. Trek 8½ kilometres down Masca Gorge, clambering down sheer walls with the [...]
It seems fitting that if you’re going to give an award that recognises contribution to the preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of the South of Tenerife that you should choose to give something that symbolises that very heritage, and that’s what CIT Sur (Centro de Iniciativas y Turismo) have done in choosing to [...]
It has all the hallmarks of success; glass and chrome frontage; oodles of floor space; leather chairs; chic desks; black, flat screen monitors and a state-of-the-art server purring and winking in its slimline cabinet. It’s exactly the venue where you’d expect a highly prestigious publication to be based…
We’ve moved! Living Tenerife is now located in [...]
December’s issue takes us onto Tenerife’s terraces; not the ones planted with vines and potatoes but the ones filled with the blue and white shirts, flags and banners of the fans of Tenerife’s football team; CD Tenerife.
Jack dons his Scotland shirt (right colour, same affinity) and braves the passion and rivalry of a local derby [...]
