Where the weather decides the plan

  • A day in Teide National Park Spain’s national parks network describes a dry climate with strong day–night contrasts, often intense winds and some snow days in winter. Carry water, sun protection and warm layers.
  • A boat trip under the Los Gigantes cliffs Wind and swell change the comfort and operation of marine excursions. Reconfirm with the provider and keep a land-based plan.
  • A swim in Garachico’s lava pools Waves can make the pools unsafe. The lava paths and the old town still make the visit.
  • A walk in Anaga If cloud, rain or footing makes the trail unsuitable, spend the day around Taganana and nearby viewpoints instead.

Readings are measurements from Open-Meteo. Whether a bus or a boat trip runs is for TITSA and the boat’s operator to say, not this panel.
