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.
