Pine forests of the upper Guimar Valley on Tenerife's east coastNow call me Mrs Prudish if you must, but if I’m contemplating a spot of public naked sunbathing anywhere other than on a nudist beach, I’m going to opt for a location as far away from the beaten track as I can muster and then I’m going to lie quietly down and not draw attention to myself.

But not everyone it seems, shares my natural reserve.

From the new extreme sport of volcano surfing to naked buttocks amongst the plovers and curlews, Tenerife’s east coast may not make in into any walking guides but it comes up with a few choice surprises in the May issue of Living Tenerife.
