One more really good thing about big hotels, if you are traveling with a small baby, there is a special baby food available here. So, you don’t need to worry where to buy it 🙂

Teide National Park is at the top of our must-see list 🙂 and I had a dream to see a volcano on my birthday 🙂 So we are going there!

Teide National Park is located in the center of the island of Tenerife. It’s the largest and oldest of the four national parks on the Canary Islands.

The entrance to the National Park is free, so you can drive or hike there.

Mount Teide dominates the landscape of Teide National Park. If you want to climb the peak of the Teide on foot, you need to obtain a special permission to do it. It’s free of charge but better to obtain it a few months in advance, cause the places are limited.

Roques de Garcia is a  place to admire! Incredible natural sculpture park. You don’t realize how huge these rocks are until you are standing in their shadows.

Los Gigantes is a resort town on the west coast of Tenerife. One more thing I wanna do on my birthday is to swim with a view 🙂

We decided to visit the public heated pool – “Oasis Los Gigantes”.

It’s a lovely place to spend a sunny winter day or a half, get a tan, admire famous Acantilados de Los Gigantes, while sipping a chilled cocktail 🙂

Yeah, here is a great view of Acantilados de Los Gigantes, probably one of the most attractive natural wonders on Tenerife. It’s giant rock formations, Acantilados de Los Gigantes, that rise from the sea to a height of 500-800 metres. Very impressive view!

In addition to stunning landscape, the majestic cliffs provide protection from trade winds, contributing to a warm and sunny climate. So, it’s a lovely place to rest with kids.

Los Gigantes is a fantastic option for those who are looking for a quieter holiday resort.

Beautiful view over the ocean. Of cause you can explore the beach here, it has classical Tenerife’s black sand, but waves are too big and it’s hard to swim 😦

Yeahh, it’s quite hard to attend bars in the evenings when you have a small baby:) so, we are spending our evenings in a hotel’s bars 🙂

That’s all for today 🙂
