Taking on Tenerife

Spain kicks ass. It is without a doubt one of the most historically rich and intriguing countries in Europe, perhaps
the world. And there are so many places to explore in Spain that once you get away from the big cities, you find a
countrywith much more diversity than first meets the eye.

So in the spirit of great places in Spain, I want to post

about this article
on the town of Tenerife. Tenerife has a reputation as a kind of dirty beach town, but if you
venture outside, or north across La Columna Dorsal, the nearby mountains, you find will encounter lush countryside,
volcanoes, and smart little towns like La
Orotava
. I lived in Spain for a little while, and have to say I never went to Tenerife, but after reading this
piece, I felt like I missed something.
