It’s time to come to the end of the logue (next week we start again for a few days at Catalonia…) so I will post two entries today. As well I was really looking forward to write from this day as it was except for the end, completly ingenious and in fact the pictures show this only inadequate.
One of the most beautiful streets on this island is the street from San Nicholas to the heartland. Very good quality but very narrow and with oncoming traffic (later it becomes wider but the quality is not more so good). But if you have the nerves for this it is really worthwhile.
Arriving San Nicholas angekommen we had to search a bit. This is there very typical. Sometimes you have a sign, sometimes not, I think, they assume, that the driver follows the street until a sign (here to Artenara) shows another direction.
The street runs narrwo through high mountains. Impressive! After many curves it passes two reservoirs (the water here is emerald green, not the colour of the sky). The good small street ands at a tower (fortunatly it was renovated and closed, at our last visit it was horrible inside and close to it) from it’s place you have a good sight.






The street continous, but the surrounding is changing. More green and more settlements. And somtimes you see one of thos typical houses build into the rocks.
We went to the Pico de Gáldar. From here the weather changed. Until here it was sunny. The North of the island was cloudy and the wind was cold.





We went back to Artenara, into the sun. The village is the highest on the whole island. From the street to it you can even take a look to the Teide on Teneriffa.

From Artenara you have a wonderful sight to the holy rocks of the island, Roque Ventaiga and Roque Nublo.


We went to, as our guide wrote, most beautifull village of the island, Tejeda. The place is absolutly wonderfull.





From there we wanted to go back to the south. On the way we could take a look on Saturdays chaos in the central mountains…

Because of a bike rallye many streets were closed. Unfortunatly this forced us to take a long way through the grey dark North to the motorway. So the end of this day was not so nice as you may think, this was absolutly no fun.
Well, only one more trip is left and will follow, to the North of the island, but not today
