EuropeSpain10 days / August 2019
Highs & Lows
‘Superdino’ shops are the best for local produce, and the delicious tapas and churros are not to be missed!
There is a constant breeze over the island, more than welcome at the hottest parts of the day though!
Q & A
How was the food?
La Langosta was our most favourite restaurant as the staff and food were supreme but we visited many many cafes and restaurants all over the island and found them all equally enjoyable!
What tips would you give a friend?
Definitely make the effort to hire a car and get to Guayedra beach. It is a black sand beach from the volcanic rock, and is only known by a few locals. It’s a super cool place to swim and have picnic, with many of the locals also spending the night under the stars there.
Packing tips?
Definitely pack for warm weather as in August it rarely drops below 20°. However there is a breeze so I’d recommend bringing a light pullover for the evenings.
Transportation Tips?
Buses run often and to the main parts of the island, though a car is definitely useful for getting off the beaten track and exploring less touristy areas.
Lodging
Cordial Mogan Valle. A lovely hotel with a family friendly laid back vibe, plenty of pools and a great bar for mojitos! Location was only a short stroll from a superdino and the beach, aswell as the local market which sets up on the street out front. The whole hotel was really clean and staff were super helpful, even letting us move rooms to avoid the noise of construction. One of the highlights was the absolutely huge astroturfed balcony we had attached to the room with a stunning view onto the beach.
