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.

Many hiking routes in the mountains

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.
