Tenerife South - day 2

First two days were rather grey, but still very warm. I can tolerate cold but not hot. We did not do anything but walking around, that is what holiday do, right? Do nothing! Eat, drink, walk... Especially this kind of beach resort, not so many ancient streets and architectures to explore. But we are not beach people, so did not do sunbathing disappointingly :)
A strange rusted metal stuff over there, go and see:) 
A surfer dude is waiting for waves... waiting... 
Some surfer dudes are coming back, not the best place to surf I suppose.
Sorry for the grey sky. Later 4 days are full of sunshine, wait for it.
I think I can photoshop the sky into blue, but no time for that.

Tenerife South Trip - Day 1

From 17. March - 4. April, we have been on the trip to Spain. It was a fabulous holiday except strong wind and constant rain in the northern Spain, and the cold we caught when we got home. What a prize from a holiday:(! 
On the way to Tampere airport, was a beautiful morning!
Falling in snow is a big fun.
It was not that cold:)

This is a general map about our trip followed by spectacular photos through my new Pentax K-X camera. I can not wait to share it with the world...
I am not a good illustrator as you can see. But the main route is like this: 
Going (purple): Tampere (Finland) - Frankfurt (Germany) - Tenerife South (Spain)
Return (blue): Tenerife South (Spain) - Madrid (where is it?) - Santander (Spain) - Santiago de Compostela (Still Spain)- Frankfurt - Tampere


All flights by Ryanair, we were super lucky to be supported by his parents until Madrid including accommodation, very grateful indeed. For the return flights from Madrid all the back, for two persons' tickets cost me 260 Euro, decent! We love Ryanair, without it we can not make such trips to everywhere. I will count one day how many flights I have taken from Ryanair.
We had to stay in Frankfurt to catch the next day flight, even though still cheaper than other direct flights:) We arrived in Club Atlantis and had a nice dinner in hotel. It is an apartment hotel with two swimming pools in the inner yard. Very quiet and beautiful place!
 We had our arrival dinner by these pools. I liked it a lot!
After a lazy morning, we walked out...
A gloomy day but warm enough to force us to go back to room after 2.5h walk. It was too hot already, intolerable, we are so "northern". I can easily tolerate -15°C, but +25°C:)
