User:Sapfan/Tenerife 2013
Below you can see a small report from my trip to Tenerife during Christmas 2013. The island is a typical tourist resort that has many high-quality, free license photos available in Commons already. Therefore, I only uploaded a few – those featuring objects that were somehow missed by my predecessors. Adding highlights such as Drago Milenario or Masca would be a waste of valuable server space.
The whole trip was a family vacation, where taking pictures of places off the beaten path was just a side effect, not the purpose. We also visited some places more than once and omitted others. I have created this page mainly for myself, to be able to recall what we saw. You may take it as an inspiration for your easy vacation, but if you feel bored, then check out some of my more exciting travels, such as recent or old charter train tours.
