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.On the summit of Guajara in Teide National Park

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 and being driven to contemplate committing GBH on a fellow walker.

Join me on another of Living Tenerife’s best hiking trails in February’s ‘Walkabout’.
