Christmas time is arriving. The streets are full of lights, Xmas trees, Santa Claus and all this kind of things.

I must recognize, I love Xmas time!!!

I like the long meals with my family talking about anything and everything with some gossips, of course (hehehe).

And, what's about the presents? Every year I give all the presents to my familiy (not only mine). I enjoy doing it: looking their faces when they opened it. And, of course, when I open of mine presents.

From time to time during the year we have family lunches for a birthday or another kind of celebration. However, I really love Xmas time and the sense of these days.

Have a good Christmas!!!

We were in Tenerife and... What's the most famous thing in Tenerife? Yes, it's El Teide, the sleeping vulcano so we had to visit it.

At the beginnig it was a sunny day. Then, at the same time that we were going up with our bus the time changed, it was a foggy day (we were crossing the clouds) and finally at the top of the mountain it was sunny again.

In El Teide you could see all kind of colours in the ground and the stones modelled by the wind. The Earth is always surprising... Sometimes I thought I was in Mars but I was not, it was on Earth!!!

In one of our trips we visited La Gomera. It's one of the smallest islands (the smallest one is El Hierro).

This day we eake up at 4.30am because the bus was going to picke up us at 5.30 am. The 90% of the tourist in Tenerife are German so it was full of them.

We were in Tenerife so we had to go to La Gomera by ferry (it was like the "Love ship"). In 45' we were there and we started our bus journey...

In La Gomera exist a natural reserve called Garajonay so we could see that the touristy in La Gomera isn't only for its beaches. I will recommend La Gomera to people who like climbing and be with the enviroment but not for the typical touristy. They live surrounded by nature!!!

In our trip we could see also the famous Silvo Gomero (it isn't a person, it's a wistle). I thought it was based on a code but it isn't. It reproduces the sound of the language so it will sound different for any language. The man who show us it wistled in Spanish and in German.

After a long day we returned to our hotel in El Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife).

I wouldn't recommend this trip to people who go with children because you are most of time in bus. Peolpe like me who love the city and its chaos.

I would recommend this trip to people who like mountains and nature.
