A Beach With No Road in Southern Tenerife | Tenerife Diaries
Good morning from tenerife today we are doing well we're going to do storm dodging actually today because yesterday there were some really bad storms almost everywhere else on the island apart from specifically where we are so although it looks sunny here i think actually four people sadly died at sea yesterday there were videos of ferries look like they're almost about to capsize all of the food falling out of the kitchens roofs being blown off buildings it's been completely crazy i think today it's coming to an end so we're going to stick to the south of the island we're going to go near the coast to somewhere that i don't think we've ever been before so do a bit of exploring the weather is well at least here anyway absolutely glorious so we're going to head off penny is packed up let's hit the road let's do a gear for the day right at the start it's been a little while since i've done this right american company daytona low profile helmet be honest it's only dot department of transport us approved for safety it is not the highest standard of ece safety so probably shouldn't recommend it but i like this because it's a low profile helmet and it does look like it's one of the best fitting best shaped open face helmets that i've tried throttle snake gloves wear these a lot german company they won't win any safety awards but they look so good and they give a real weathered look and they're just easy to get on and off no buckles or anything like that i am a fan of those italian made sunglasses specifically designed for motorcyclists and great thing about these they don't break it doesn't matter how tight a helmet you wear these will not distort they will not break they're incredibly hard wearing with what i've got an ipswich when we're back in the uk i'm so happy with this i took the thermal lining out bellstaff brooklyn's jacket and yeah i just love it so much you start to notice all of the beautiful design features everywhere on it it is just a stunningly good quality jacket i know there are a lot but if like me you're a fan of going on to ebay checking out some second hand stuff you can actually get a bargain for one of these maybe 250 pounds on ebay secondhand their jackets for life so you can get a good value one of these used so i'd recommend that as well you'll notice new channel sponsor hood jeans british company they do two styles of jeans sk 11s which are these the slim fit or the k7 which is the traditional fit pair of jeans safety is above all else for her jeans so these are the highest safety rating jeans safety rated genes you can possibly get triple a rated that's how the sk11s look and honestly if there's a higher rating than aaa rated these will probably hit that as well because they are well beyond the aaa rating requirements tcx x blend boots i've had these two years now i wear them a huge amount they are still absolutely perfect and i honestly think they'll last a lifetime if not at least 10 years brilliant pair of hard wearing boots and of course the bike with the heck come back a penny is quad lock attached there i've just kicked a fairly big stone into the side of the fiat and the lights that i love so much it's okay everything else now is on order back in the uk so front lights mirrors everything will be there when we're back in the uk let's hit the road expecting everything to fall that i will all over again i hope you can pick that up monica on the camera because that is the lowest lying snow on the mountains up to tayde the volcano that we've seen in six months here that is significantly low-lying snow right there ahead of us and so what you've got is a huge huge downfall of snow on el tede i wouldn't be surprised if they've closed the roads because they do not grit roads here ever all they'll do in tenerife is close the roads on the mountains road gritting putting salt on the roads doesn't exist here so that's low-lying snow north of the island you've had a huge storm that's been battering the coast and ripping ceilings off buildings and here we're back in paradise again i have never been anywhere where you've got so many extreme microclimates all within the space of what feels like 40 50 kilometers or something it is absolutely crazy you got me wrapped around your face with everything going on with russia even tenerife the prices have gone up i remember when we got here it was 109 euros or 109 cents a liter for fuel and now 138 says 109 to 138 in the six months we've been here i mean i've heard places i think monic said in lithuania it's now over two euros a liter for fuel so can't complain too much we've been riding for about 15 minutes and we'll put the exploring on hold because we're both hungry so we're off to palma to eat and then exploring after who really knows this is i don't think we've ever stopped it before like an old church abandoned thinker monica looks uneasy but wow look at this place it's got an old church there shall i take the camera monica yes it's like an old abandoned thinker or something don't know if anyone's living here but let's have a look so right behind this volcanic landscape a few different doors there i won't go too close because people may actually be living in there and then they look semi-lived in over there everything else fairly abandoned with i think that would be the old church all bricked up but kind of semi-painted in yellow these buildings ahead of me they they borderline look like they could be lived in but everything now is just a shell and people have been drinking but everything else completely done oh but look at these i love this looks like this is an old bar area with the barrels there and a little roof but that looks possibly like it's actually been burnt out but what a beautiful place this would have been with cacti all around stinking heat of this area which is in palma and then these must be must be the old lose i guess yep hold loose and or yeah there's the old lou wow with a semi burnt out looking roof okay now i'm really starving we'll get over to get some food monica often doesn't like coming these little places because quite often these kind of places you do have people who turn them into their own homes and genuinely actually have kind of turned a ruin into a place that they live because there are a lot of abandoned old buildings and fairly often you will see well i don't know what they i don't know if your classmates hippies or what but people actually living them and reusing them as a home for themselves and also often quite a few lizards that monica absolutely hates to it's like something from the wild west isn't it a proper ranch there cacti everywhere old barrels there and look at this i love the old school sign right behind a cacti all overgrown cevasa from 1939 such a great spot isn't it don't know how long it's been closed for but it's a shame it's a great spot probably been here about 15 minutes and actually it was monica that said this would be a great place for kind of bike shed biker hangouts bar coffee shop food all the bikes park in this area with this keep this entrance exactly the same it's so cool i'll show you this come here because dorada is a proper tenerife bear this is dorado the local bear look dorada cerveza from 1939 started world war ii it started but look at the logo of it that's el tede in the background there and then the dragon tree of ico de los venus right in front of it it really is a proper local beer from tenerife do do this is a great place we've been a few times just get some of this homemade chili and it's a kind of health food not just vegetarian it's actually all types of health food they got fresh fruits and veg in there in palma which is one of the up-and-coming touristy spots about 15 minutes from the main touristy area and the food is so good these are tofu tacos tofu avocado tacos oh it tastes so good and homemade chili they actually make everything right there and i absolutely love this place we've literally moved next door so fruitopia where we just had lunch and now cafeteria trego which is right next door and i'll include all the details in the written description but this looks pretty apple cake from here and it can be a bit hit to miss actually with coffees and tenerife but this looks like a very good cappuccino as well so do you know i just realized that shimonica we are the most pathetic i like to think of myself as an adventurer you know all that's happened today we have traveled five miles to hannah stopped at an abandoned church and just eaten for almost the entire video there's been no exploring until we're literally five miles away from okay right we'll tuck into these before they start melting so it's warm today but if you're in tenerife or if you're planning on coming on the on the 17th of april there is the volcano hunt that's brought to you by easy rider television the motorcycle rental company and basically you need to register online and i'll include the details in the written description and it's a huge motorcycle get together ride out around the island and then there are competitions and prizes for each best category award so i'm actually mail off i'm judging i am actually the judge of the best classic of the day so i may not be famous for my immaculately kept bikes however i'm going to be the judge so i have my sensible hat on on the day and i cannot wait a little bit nervous but i can't wait for it so monica and i i'm hoping i'll get monica in the back we'll go for a nice slide at the end of it i'll be i get to pick the best classic of the day i will be in my element i i'm so excited to be there and it's the first ever one so 17th of april if you're in tenerife sign up for that it should be a really good day monica's just forced me to tell the truth here i spend half my life trying to eat healthily and then the rest of it tucking in quite happy to two apple cakes it's pathetic literally just eating at health food place and i'm just gorging two apple cakes completely eliminates all of the healthy eating that i do so though so good well that is the road we need to go down and we're somewhere we've never been in a complete kind of maze of different banana plantations and interestingly we were going past the banana plantation and you see the destruction from the wind all of the sides of these had been blown down and we saw inside a huge amount of trees had actually been blown down from the winds yesterday so the seas there were probably about 600 meters away but we can't get there because the road's been blocked off so we'll have to go all the way around again and hopefully try and find it i can see the sea right ahead of us but it looks like it's only dirt tracks to get there so we'll do 10 more minutes trying to reach the sea and after that we just accept we're lost okay there should be an off-road track in the corner here for us to lead off to the coast there banana plantation's blocking us there so there's no point getting on right here so our last chance to find a good track will be right at the corner of this road okay we found it this network of tracks here will definitely take us in the right direction huge amount of different tracks seen different bike tracks and trails as well so definitely motorbike season we just saw a local biker heading off here so yes that was on an off-road bike but the great thing about the bonneville is it can be absolutely everything it can be an adventure bike an enduro bike and some kind of touring bike as well i i don't know if i'm talking nonsense but let's head off monica jump on let's do some off-roading it's too warm for walking jump on we've never been here before this is stunning so i'll include a link of where this is our description but this is right on the south coast of tenerife in between the touristy area of a deca and places like that and our area which is the el medano area and we're banging in the middle here on the coast completely untouristy banana plantation cacti palm trees dotted along and then this rocky rugged coast and i think i've got a bad cough actually from breathing in so much dust um i think monica filmed it that was just such a great shot an off-road ride on like an enduro bike just whizzing along behind us such a nice spot on the bonneville how was it monica awful so comfortable no so comfortable perfect for two people great little off-roading i was actually very scared yeah monica was petrified we almost fell once but luckily monica managed to die should we try and get down to the coast okay yeah okay let's get down to the coast okay we made it well we made it to the coast i will definitely put an exact spot of where this is because i've just seen there's an amazing looking walk all the way along the coast to an old lighthouse along there it's just we've already been going for about three hours and wearing this skier maybe we'll come back and lie together but that route that walk along there looks absolutely stunning so i'll include all of the details for that we'll relax here for a little bit i'll get my breath back thank you so much for coming along with us today please do give the video a like subscribe to the channel and we'll see in the next one
