Useful informations about spending your holidays on Tenerife

If you are planning to spend your holidays in Tenerife, here are some useful informations. There are also many cheap options. Before you come, check for easy jet offers on internet such us Rynair or you can go on skyscanner.com and compare prices with other airlines. There are two airports on Tenerife, north and south. When you come to the airport, you have lot of taxis in front, but if you want a cheaper option you can go with the local bus  (www.titsa.com or application on mobile phone titsa tenerife). They are painted in green color and in front of the airport exit. You also have a green pier in front of the bus stop and you can see timetable. Before you come in the hotel, check on the internet which area your hotel belongs to. For example: hotel Jacaranda is in Fañabe, (here on this link you can find the parts of islands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenerife#mediaviewer/File:Municipios_y_zonas_de_Tenerife.svg) other may be in Las Americas, Los Christianos or others. Dont forget to compare this to the lines of where bus titsa goes. In Canarias the bus is named GUAGUA (pronunciation is uaua). If you are not sure, just ask the driver for information. You can put luggage in the lower compartment of the bus. There is also option of the rent-a-car or rent-a-limusine. If you want to enjoy sunbathing on some famous beaches such as Las Americas or Los Cristianos, then the South Tenerife is right choice for you. You can choose to stay in hotels, apartments or hostels. The price ranges from 15 € per night for person. If you are adventurer and want to stay in Tenerife with minimum of costs, you can go to the option workaway, which means that you can find host people or families  which are offering free accommodation (bathroom, a bed or a room and a free meal) and  in return you will have to  work few hours for them.  If you are staying longer than one month, you can even try to find private accommodation. Just enter in google piso (apartment) alquiler or habitacion (room) alquiler or piso compartido (shared apartment) in Tenerife. In Spain is a custom to give a deposit to landlord in the amount of monthly rent. When you check out from apartment, you will get your deposit back, but who can guarantee you that? Here is what you have to do if you want your deposit back for sure. The most important is to picture apartment and furniture (especially if something is already been broken before) and do inventory which owner have to sign it. You can also give him contract to sign and take his ID number.  Ok, when you have situated yourself, you would need a transport to move around. The cheapest option is city transportation-buses. You can buy the ticket in the bus for one ride (more expensive) or in the store (bono ticket for multiple rides). You can find bus lines and prices on www.titsa.com  and easily move through the island. There is also a choice of rent a car where you can decide where you will go and what you will see. There are many excursions which you can attend also. Or if you are interested in activities such as surfing, scuba or bob diving, adventure in Forestal Park, paragliding and etc. Nightlife, shows , musicals and etc. So many possibilities to experience in Tenerife. My advise is to book excursion because in one day you can see half of the island and learn many things. The negative part of Tenerife is that is that they have many park with animals in captivity such is Loro park, Aqualand, Animal park, Monkey park, Camella park and even Siam park has sharks in captivity. I will never recommend you to go on this kind of excursions, instead you can go on boat excursions to see whales and dolphins in natural habitat. Teach others and your children to respect other beings and their freedom and do not buy tickets. If I told tou that dolphins and whales (orcas) are captured in small pool tanks and only direction they are swiming is in the circle, Did you know that in the ocean, they can swim up to 100 miles or 160 km. So, please, do not support slavery made only for profit. There are many commercial centers around Costa Adeje, but one of the biggest is situated near Mareverde apartments. It is a Gran Sur. You have variety of choice of food in this store and the prices are economical. If you want to buy yourself more then food, there are many shopping centers around and the prices are also economical.  So, if you want to have a good time on your holidays, there are plenty possibilities around you, you just need to relax and take it easy.

KORISNE INFO AKO PLANIRATE PROVESTI SVOJ ODMOR NA TENERIFIMA

Ako planirate provesti svoje praznike na Tenerifima, evo nekoliko korisnih informacija koje ce vam dobro doci. Prije nego dodete, provjerite ponude jeftinih aviokompanija. Mozete pogledati na rynair.com ili usporediti cijene na skyscanner.com. U svakom slucaju, ako krecete iz Hrvatske, preko sezone ima letova iz Pule, Zadra, Rijeke i Osijeka sa presjedanjem u skoro svakom vecem gradu u Europi. Tenerife su odlicno povezane. No, ako krecete u zimskom razdoblju, morati cete krenuti iz Venecie-Trevisa i onda presjedati preko npr. Londona, Pariza, Municha itd. Na Tenerifima su dvije zracne luke, juzna i sjeverna. Kad stignete, imate opciju rent-a-cara, taxija ili lokalnog autobusa (www.titsa.com or application on mobile phone titsa tenerife). Ako se odlucite za lokalni bus, evo nekoliko savjeta. Cim izadete iz zracne luke, ispred vratiju je stajaliste za buseve. Titsa ima zeleni stup-tablu ispred gdje se mogu pogledati satnice buseva. Pogledajte na internetu  u koj predio spada vas hotel i onda usporedite sa titsom. Najlakse je to uciniti na aplikaciji jer imate opciju izabrati na mapi od tocke A do tocke B i onda vam se u aplikaciji prikaze koj broj autobusa morate uzeti. Ako ste ostaromodni, onda jednostavno pogledajte dio gdje pripada vas hotel (npr ako ste u hotelu Jacaranda, to je Fañabe) i usporedite sa imenima stanica na stajalistu ili webu. Evo i link na sliku koja bi mogla pomoci (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenerife#mediaviewer/File:Municipios_y_zonas_de_Tenerife.svg). Ili najlakse, pitajte vozaca kad autobus dode. Ako se zelite kupati na najpoznatijim plazama poput Las Americas i Los Cristianos, onda je juzni dio Tenerifa stvoren za vas. Mozete izabrati smjestaj u hotelu,hostelu ili apartmanu.  Cijene se krecu vec od 15€ po nocenju po osobi. Ako ste avanturist i zelite proci sto jeftinije, mozete ici na opciju workaway. To znaci da cete naci domacina koji ce vas primiti, dati vam hranu i smjestaj,a za uzvrat morate raditi par sati dnevno ili tjedno. Ako zelite ostati duze od mjesec dana, mozete si naci I privatan smjestaj.  Upisite u google, piso alquiler (stan), alquiler  habitacion (najam sobe) alquiler piso compartido (stan koji dijelite s drugom osobom) in Tenerife. U Spanjolskoj je obicaj dati depozit u iznosu mjesecne clanarine, koja vam se vraca na kraju mjeseca. No tko ce  vam garantirati povrat tog novca? Evo sto trebate napraviti ako zelite povrat  novca. Najbitnije je slikati namjestaj, pogotovo ostecene dijelove  i napraviti popis inventara koji vam mora gazda potpisati. Mozete i ugovor potpisati i uzeti njegov ID od osobne iskaznice. Ok, sad kad ste se smjestili, trebati cete prijevoz da biste mogli putovati po otoku.  Najjeftinija opcija bi bio gradski prijevoz autobusom. Mozete kupiti kartu za jednu voznju direktno kod sofera u busu ili u specijalnim trgovinama kupite bono kartu za vise voznji. Linije i cijene mozete naci na www.titsa.com . To vam omogucava jednostavno I brzo putovanje po otoku. Kao drugu opciju mozete izabrati iznajmiti auto I sami odluciti gdje cete stati i sto zelite vidjeti. Niste ograniceni vremenom. Imate mnogo ponuda izleta na otoku. Doslovce se nude na svakom koraku. Ili ako zelite vise adrenalina, imate surfanje, paragliding, scuba ili bob ronjenje, adrenalinski park Forestal Park koji ujedno nudi I team bulding namijenjen grupama, itd. Onda imate razne spektakle poput mjuzikla, rock spektakla, karaoka,  koji se odrzavaju navecer uglavnom, toliko je mogucnosti za dozivjeti Tenerife. Moja preporuka su svakako razne ekskurzije kojima ovaj otok obiluje. U jednom danu mozete proci pola otoka i saznati puno interesantnih informacija. Nikako ne bih preporucila ekskurzije koje se ovdje masovno nude, a jedini im je cilj drzati zivotinje u zatocenistvu namijenjene za zaradu i privlacenje turista. To su zabavni parkovi poput Loro parka, Aqualanda, animal parka, Monkey parka, Camella parka pa cak i Siam parka koji drzi morske pse u zatocenistvu. Ako zaista zelite vidjeti kitove i delfine, svakako vam mogu preporuciti ekskurzije brodom gdje uzivo u prirdonom stanistu mozete vidjeti kitove i delfine. U onim bazenima, zatoceni, mogu samo u krug plivati (vidjela sam). U oceanu, na dan predu preko 160 km. Znaci, ucite djecu da postuju sva ziva bica i njihovo pravo na slobodu i naravno ne kupujte ulaznice. Ima takoder mnogo soping centra na svakom uglu, no uglavnom nisu gigantski, vec podosta mali. Jedan od najvecih na jugu je Gran Sur, smjesten odmah iznad Mareverde apartmana. Ima mnogo izbora namirnica, a i cijene su ekonomicne. Znaci, ako se zelite dobro provesti na praznicima, puno je mogucnosti oko vas, smao se opustite i uzivajte. 

Market Costa Adeje

Pet collars and signs designed especially for your pet

Handmade bags



Multihangers

Native american stand, lot of dream catchers

Everything that you need - marijuana stand

 

 

 

WORKING HOUR OF MARKET: 9-14 on Thursday and Saturday

So, you like to haggle?  Shop at cheap prices? See something different, new, innovative and practical? Get completely new husband or replace existing one? If your answer is yes, then this market is made for you. I was walking down the Street near the shopping centre El duque  and across the street I seen  charming market with many stands.  I decided to take a brief visit.

What could I lose?

 

 

First I seen cute little rounded stand that was selling fresh smoothies. Before you move on with the text,   you have to ask yourself when is the last time you ate or drink fresh, refreshing fruits  filled with vitamins and water? Here you can get some delicious  exotic fruit smoothie-s. Yam. I took some fresh strawberry-pineapple smoothie without milk. It was very refreshing.  So, with smoothie and camera, I was ready to take the tour.  The mix of Spanish and Indian music was in the air. At the market  you  have variety of choice. At the first stand, Native Americans  were selling their cd-s, flutes, tapestries, beautiful t-shirts and dream catchers. Do you know what dream catcher is? Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams, both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, but the bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day. After brief encountering with Indian tradition, I moved on. The next stand was selling souvenirs. If you want to buy a souvenir from Tenerife and have reminder of the time you spent here, this is the great time and place for that. There is a trick that you must know if you are going to bargain: If you have interest in something and you want to buy it, don’t show the interest to the seller. If he sees that you are interested, you will never get cheap price.  Some of the stands accept credit cards also, as this one with perfumes from Canarias.  If you have a pet with you or you left him back home, there is a stand which is offering the service of printing your pets name on the collar. Great gift for your loyal friend. If you want to be a good "samatarian", there is a cat charity association from Tenerife that is collecting donations (anything with value) in another stand. If you love animals,this is a good way to help stray animals which are depending on us. Be among ones which are creating the better world. Great thing here on market is that everybody is speaking English. You can also bought a handbag, wallet or buy completely new wardrobe. If you want to buy a lot of wardrobe or you have lot of clothes in your closet, there is a seller that is selling multi hangers for enlargement of your wardrobe space. Here, you can get it cheaper then on tv sell. If your passion is marijuana, then there is a stand made for you.   Seeds, hookah-nargilas, full equipment for weed, t-shirts, accessories and etc. Here on the market were a lot of handmade objects such as candles, piggy banks and etc.  that you can buy and redecorate your interior. Did you ever heard of feng shui? The old Chinese art that harmonises energy (chi) flow, architecture, mathematics and space in one. A tip for love: if you want to have fulfilled relationship or find a true love or get rid of the husband or boyfriend who is cheating on you, buy two candles, put them in south west corner or SW room which is your corner of love. These two candles symbolizes a couple. You can also put a picture of two birds together or a  couple together. It is important that you always put objects that are simbolizing a couple,  in couple. If you have favorite romance novel, put it in this corner, life could write similar romantic story made just for you. Red color is also very suitable for this corner.  Your space should always be clean, airy and sunny. Ok, lets go back on this charming market. So, if you are a girl, you could easily get proposed by some Spanish guy who is selling wallets. I asked him how much the m² costs. He told me that the price is 28 €/m².  So, if you have your own little business, you can even  try to sell something. After my smoothie and proposal, I decided that it is a time to leave for another adventure.

Sajam Costa Adeje

Volite se cjenkati? Kupovati po niskim cijenama? Vidjeti nesto drukcije, novo, inovativno i prakticno? Dobiti potpuno novog muza ili zamijeniti postojeceg? Ako je vas odgovor da, onda je ovaj sajam stvoren za vas.  Hodala sam ulicom blizu soping centra El Duque i preko puta ulice sam vidjela mali sarmantan sajam sa mnogo standova. Odlucila sam da cu ga nakratko posjetiti. Sto sam mogla izgubiti?

Prvo sam vidjela mali okrugli stand koji je prodavao svjeze smoothije. Prije nego nastavite  s tekstom, zapitajte se kad ste zadnji put jeli ili pili, svjeze voce puno vitamina i vode? Ovdje mozete kupiti odlicne smoothije spravljene od egzoticnog voca. Uzela sam jedan ananas-jagoda smotthie bez mlijeka.Da,mozete birati i hocete li sa mlijekom ili bez.Jako je osvjezavajuce moram priznati. Sa smoothijem u jednoj ruci i kamerom u drugoj, krenula sam u obilazak. Miks spanjolske i indijanske muzike je bio u zraku. Na toj maloj trznici ima puno izbora. Na prvom standu, Indijanci su prodavali cd-e, frulice,tapiserije,prekrasne majice sa motivima vukova i hvatace snova. Da li znate sto je hvatac snova? Indijanci vjeruju da je nocni zrak ispunjen losim i dobrim snovima.Dok se lagano ljulja objesen pored vaseg kreveta, hvata  snove koji prolaze pored njega. Dobri snovi znaju kako proci kroz hvataceve niti, no losi snovi  se zapletu u niti jer ne znaju kako naci izlaz iz njih i nestanu sa prvom zrakom sunca. Nakon kratkog uvida u indijanski stand, nastavila sam dalje. Iduci stand je prodavao suvenire. Ako zelite kupiti suvenir sa Tenerifa koji ce vas podsjecati na vrijeme provedeno ovdje, ovo je pravo mjesto za to.  Ako se zelite dobro cjenkati, morate znati jedan trik: ako vas zanima neka stvar koju zelite kupiti, nemojte prodavacu pokazati zanimanje za to, pravite se kao da vas uopce ne zanima jer ako on vidi da vas jako zanima, nikad tu stvar necete dobiti po niskoj cijeni. Ako vam ne zeli prodati za vasu cijenu, jednostavno se okrenite i odite. Velika je vjerojatnost da ce vam pokusati prodati po vasoj cijeni ipak. Neki standovi primaju kreditne kartice kao npr ovaj stand gdje prodaju parfeme sa Kanarskih otocja-kanarske parfeme. Ako ste dosli sa ljubimcem ili ga pustili u svojoj zemlji, tamo je i stand koji nudi printanje imena vaseg ljubimca na ogrlicu ili znak na ogrlici. Odlican poklon za vjernog prijatelja. ako zelite uciniti dobro djelo, na iducem standu mozete donirati svoje stvari ili novac udruzi za zastitu zivotinja sa Tenerifama. Oni skupljaju svoje priloge i time pomazu svim lutalicama.Donirajte i budite i vi jedni od onih koji stvaraju bolji svijet. Odlicna stvar na markatu je to sto svi pricaju engleski. Mozete kupiti torbe, novcanike, razlicitu odjecu. Ako vam treba dodatno mjesto u ormaru, jedan prodavac prodaje multivjesalice za ormar koji stvara vise prostora u ormaru. Ovdje  to mozete dobiti jeftinije nego preko tv prodaje. Ako je vasa strast marihuana, onda je ovdje pravi stand kao stvoren za vas. Sjemenke trave tj. Marihuane,nargile, pribor za pusenje, majice sa slikom trave, dodatne sitnice i sl. Na nekim standovima su se I prodavale rucno izradene kasice u obliku sove, rucno izradene torbe, svijece  i ostale stvari koje mozete kupiti kako biste uredili svoj interijer. Da li ste ikada culi za feng shui?  To je stara kineska vjestina koja uskladuje tijek energije (chi), arhitekture, matematike u jedan sklad.  Savjet za ljubav: ako zelite ispunjenu vezu ili pronaci pravu ljubav ili se rijesiti muza ili zene koji vas mozda vara, kupite dvije svijece, stavite ih u jugozapadni kut kuce ili sobe tj. Onaj  koji je kut ljubavi. Te dvije svijece simboliziraju par. Moze se staviti i slika dvoje ljubavnika ili dvije pticice. Bitno je da objekti  koji simbolziraju par uvijek budu u paru. Ako imate omiljeni ljubavni roman, stavite i njega u taj kut. Zivot bi vam mogao ispisati jednaku ljubavnu pricu. Crvena boja je prikladna za ovaj kut. Vas prostor bi uvijek trebao biti cist, prozracan i dobro osvjetljen. Ok, vratimo se na sajam. A ako ste slucajno zena, lako bi vas neki stravstveni spanjolac koji prodaje novcanike mogao zaprositi. Pitala sam ga koliko je placa m² prostora. Rekao je da to dode 28€ ili 214,00 kn. Ako imate neki mali obrt ili prodajete nesto svoje, mozete cak doci ovdje, otkupiti mjesto i vidjeti hoce li vam se posreciti. Nakon mog smoothija i prosidbe, odlucila sam da je vrijeme za odlazak u drugu avanturu.
