We were looking for an active winter break and Tenerife ticked every box: mountains, sun, cycling and walking routes, and a direct flight from Edinburgh. The choice was easy and we were not disappointed!

Getting started

The GR11 has been in my bucket list for a long time. I originally wanted to run it, but my Achilles kicked away the running shoes and brought me boots instead, possibly a good thing since the terrain was way more difficult than what I expected.
