Where on Tenerife is this? Photo Challenge #8 2011


This month’s photo challenge is one of those places where you either know it or you don’t. Anyone who has visited this place should immediately recognise it – thatched huts aren’t exactly a common sight on Tenerife – but it might prove a difficult challenge for those who haven’t.

There isn’t a great amount to go on in this photo, just a section of hillside in the background and the huts themselves. But the huts are the big clue. Although once common-place in farming areas, there are only a few areas left on Tenerife where they can still be spotted; usually standing alone by the roadside, half hidden in the undergrowth.

This is the only place where you’ll find a small neat ‘village’ of them all in the one location. Thousands of people flock to this spot each year…but where on Tenerife is it?

Where on Tenerife is this? Photo Challenge #7 2011


This might prove to be one of our easiest Tenerife photo challenges…but then again you just never know?

A photo of a bench would normally seem an odd choice and difficult to place. However, maybe not when the bench in question looks as ornate as this one – not quite the same anonymity as those that line the promenades of Tenerife’s coastal towns.

As benches go this is a particularly attractive specimen and the wonderful old tobacco advert adds to its good looks…but where on Tenerife is it?

This month we’re after the exact name of this place as well as where it’s located. This spot has two names, a common one and an official one. Either will do, but award yourself a bonus point if you know both.

There’s also a reason why we’ve chosen this image as the photo challenge for July, so an extra special kudos point to anyone who knows what that reason is.

Where on Tenerife is this? Photo Challenge #6 2011


Even though we chose one of the most remote spots on Tenerife, a hamlet that can only be reached on foot or by the sea, there were still a couple of people who managed to identify May’s ‘Where on Tenerife is this?’ photo challenge on our Facebook page.

For June’s challenge we’ve chosen a photograph of a little town that isn’t nearly as remote, but which could still prove to be quite tricky to identify.

There is one huge clue that should point people to the general area, but after that it might take a bit of detective work…except for those who have stood in the same spot and soaked up this unique scenery.

This view took our breath away…but where on Tenerife is it?

Where on Tenerife is this? Photo Challenge #5 2011


April’s ‘Where on Tenerife is this?’ photo challenge was identified almost as soon as we hit the publish button. For this month we’ve opted for a real Tenerife secret; a place that we are sure not many people, relatively speaking, have actually set foot in.

There’s one very good reason why we believe this but we’re not telling yet as it could be too much of a clue.

This little beach and harbour lis located in a lovely, hidden little spot on Tenerife that you could say is off the beaten track…and then some. But where on Tenerife is it?

Where on Tenerife is this? Photo Challenge #4 2011


We have another coastal view for our Tenerife photo challenge this month, but this one includes a real fish out of water…or should that be mammal?

Anyone who has seen this whale in the flesh (I know it’s a skeleton but you know what I mean) should know exactly where this is.


The big guy pays homage to the relationship between man and the sea and over the last couple of years has been the site of a rather groovy fiesta…but where on Tenerife is it?

Where on Tenerife is this? Photo Challenge #8


We don’t know if our last photo challenge of 2010 is going to prove a difficult one or not. It’s certainly a unique scene and here at TM we aren’t aware of any other open air churches like this on Tenerife. In theory that fact should make identifying where it is that little bit easier. If you’ve ever passed this place how could you fail to notice it?

However, it isn’t located on one of the more popular tourist routes on the island and that just might make it a teensy bit more taxing.

We reckon that this enchanting wood and stone church sitting in the middle of the pine forest looks as though it could be straight out of The Waltons, but where on Tenerife is it?

Where on Tenerife is This? Photo Challenge #6


Last month’s ‘where on Tenerife’ photo didn’t prove to be too much of a challenge, so for September we’ve picked one which might, just might be a little bit trickier.

There doesn’t appear to be much to go on in this scene of a lonely little ermita sitting atop an arid mound somewhere on Tenerife. It’s a serene spot with great views over the Atlantic, but if you don’t recognise it, there’s not a lot in the photo to help.

Or is there? There’s one massive clue which should help direct you to the general location at least.

So where on Tenerife is it?

Where on Tenerife is This? Photo Challenge #5


The last photo challenge was clearly far too easy, so this one might be a little more testing.

This Guanche warrior obviously isn’t too happy with the gods. He stands shaking his fists at the sky beside a road that links a number of hill towns. He’s a larger than life character and an impressive fellow in many ways (in the interests of decency we thought it was better to go with a rear view).

Although on a relatively quiet road, many people are attracted to this spot by some absolutely WOW views…but where on Tenerife is it?

Award yourself a bonus pat on the back if you know who he is and what he’s doing.
