Pit Stop at Note di Caffe, Los Abrigos



The 'Note di Caffe' in Los Abrigos rang to a different tune on Sunday evening with a wide selection of titles sung in Spanish and English from various musical genre entertaining a lively crowd. It did not take long before the audience was tapping their feet and leaping up to dance floor reflecting the style being played at the time. 'Pal Santo' delivered an outstanding performance and, due to the many encores, played solidly for over three hours pausing every now and again for a sip of the local brew. All in all Sunday was a great day!

How this all started...

I accepted voluntary redundancy at the end of August 2011 and used the small payout to purchase a good laptop, a reasonable digital (DSLR) camera and a Kindle with GPS. I hadn't taken photos for years and as I was about to move around I had decided that the Kindle would replace my collection of books I was always going to read. The next question was "What to do next?" A friend of mine had been telling me to visit Tenerife for years so I thought why not! Easyjet provided a cheap ticket and a browse around the websites provided a nice little apartment in Los Abrigos. On arrival, after signing the paperwork I was asked if I was interested in hiring a car? Being on a limited budget and seeing how busy the island's roads were I had already decided that I was going to travel by bus. It turned out that Titsa, Tenerife's state bus company provide a 'BonoBus' ticket for either 12 or 30 Euros and the former can be purchased at most supermarkets. This tick

Los Abrigos - my base

View my Los Abrigos, Tenerife Photo Album Bus Routes: 470[Los Christianos] [Granadilla] and 483[Costa Adeje] [El Medano]. Having arrived and settled in to my apartment it was time to explore the village I had adopted for the next 12 months. First of all I took some photos from the windows as, true to their word, I couldn't get much closer to the sea. The taxi from the airport had dropped me at the top of the village square and I had walked down to meet David from Los Abrigos Properties (he has since sold the business) who had arranged to meet me at noon as I had picked one of the many 'public holidays' to arrive on. We then walked along the street 'Playa Grande' to my apartment block. It seemed like a good idea to continue to the end of the street and have a look at the beach, which I must admit, takes some getting used to black sand. I also wandered around the opposite headland before, feeling very hungry, I went in search of somewhere to eat. I had p

Los Cristianos - Burial of the Sardine

Bus Routes: 483[Los Cristianos, P Americas Est] to Los Cristianos. Return: 111[Santa Cruz] to Las Chafiras then taxi home. As you can see from the first photograph in the album I was not alone when I caught the 18:31, which actually arrived at 18:45, to Los Cristianos!  We arrived in ample time for the start of the procession at the 'Cultural Centre' where the 'Sardine' had been lying-in-state.
