Toledo to Tenerife

This was a travel day from Toledo to Santa Cruz, Tenerife (Canary Islands). One train ride, two taxis, and one 3-hour flight. We arrived about 5 pm in time to meet our apartment landlady who showed us our 12th floor home until Monday.

Only 3.2 miles walking for the day.

Iberia flies out of Madrid Barraja’s Terminal 4. It appears quite new and modern.
This is the port view out of our 12th floor balcony.
The apartment viewed from the kitchen.
Reversing the view—from the balcony. Cozy, but it’s bigger than a hotel room.
The view northward off the balcony. There is port activity and a black-sand beach nearby.
Directly below are private recreation clubs and the private boat ports. There are at least six swimming pools within sight and about six tennis courts. Happily, they seem to be well-enjoyed.
We made one quick trip to the grocery store and then enjoyed crackers, cheese, and wine on our balcony. The weather is mild enough that we had our patio door open all night and a fan on in the room. Great sleeping weather!
The quay is empty tonight except for the regular Fred Olsen Ferry traveling between islands. We hear his three honks to alert riders to the approach, but it’s otherwise quiet. tomorrow and all weekend the cruise ships will arrive.
