The trip we chose was to Faro de Teno on the north western tip of Tenerife. It was a grive we were familiar with, so the 55 miles cames as no real problem. We had zigged and zagged up the coast and stopped to take photos at several points. Mt Teide, when seen from the North was still blanketed with snow. Near Tanque we again stopped to view the northern coast.
Heading west from Buenavista del Norte we did not panic at the sign that said "Road Closed" "Use this road at your own risk". We headed onwards passing the fallen rockes and through the tunnels to the westernomost point of the island.
Tearing ourselves away from Faro de Teno we headed back, diverting from our original route in order to take the spectacular mountain route through Masca. We stopped for a drink and a salad at a mirador overlooking the village of Masca. GF said to the Silver Vixen "I could watch this all day." The cliffs were awesome and as the sun moved round and the light changed they continued to change before our eyes.
