The Real Tenerife: An Insiders' Guide - Softcover

In 2003 Andrea and Jack Montgomery swapped their lives in Manchester for the north of Tenerife. Since then they've been writing about the Tenerife that lies beyond the brochures. They’ve watched sunrise from the summit of Mount Teide and bathed in midsummer waters at midnight; belted out This Sex is on Fire in bars in Playa de las Américas and cried to Ave Maria at fishermen’s fiestas; downed too many mojitos in Cuban salsa bars and shared vino del pais from goatskin bottles with caballeros in the mountains; slept in palatial hotels and under canvas all on their lonesome in the pine forest; cross-dressed at carnaval and been spellbound at silent, religious parades; battled Atlantic rollers and floated in the rock pools at Garachico, trekked through ravines to remote hamlets and followed tapas trails through Tenerife’s capital. They continue to experience the parts of Tenerife that many travel writers don't reach. As well as writing about Tenerife, they chronicle their travels worldwide for their Buzz Trips website and are specialists in the Canary Islands which has resulted in two travel guidebooks and contributions to DK Guides and Frommer’s. They are Tenerife and Canary Islands destination experts for leading UK Slow travel company, Inntravel, and Andrea is Tenerife destination expert for The Telegraph. Jack and Andrea also write hiking guides that sell to over 30 countries around the World and their travel articles and photographs have been published in The Telegraph, The Independent, Ling, Traveller Magazine, Thomas Cook, Easy Jet, Escapades, Club 18-30 as well as various Spanish publications and online travel sites such as Cosmos and Monarch.
