After such a terrible summer I suddenly can't face the long winter ahead without some sunshine so I am trying to talk the OH into some winter sun.


Does anyone have any reccomendations of child friendly places to go with a then 2 1/2 yo and and 6 mo, I was thinking the Canaries are about as far as we would want to go, but am open to other ideas.


Has anyone any suggestions of quieter places to go in the Canaries away from the masses? And any accomodation reccomendations?


Thanks in advance

Hi

We lived in Tenerife for 5 years and I had both kids there. It is wonderful for kids. easy, safe, shallow beaches,loads of pedestrian areas, everyone very child friendly, great ice cream...


we still have our house there and rent it out for holiday lets. it's off the beaten track in a little village but only 20 mins to the beach.


i'll send you a pm with details...

Just in case other people are in need of some winter sun..... you can have a look at our place in Tenerife at

We had 5 very happy years there and never went near "the masses". I'm very happy to give tips on local things to do via PM.

Canela I may be onto you about your place, perhaps for oct/nov when our youngest is bigger and I can face the airport with all three of ours. How easy is it to get there from airport with three young children?


All our friends used to love tuscany or Amalfi Coast, but generally rave about Tenerife now they are kiddied-up.

In a hire car or taxi, the airport is only 15 minutes away from our place.


It's true - it is a really good place for families. I think because you're guaranteed sun, but not tooooo much, the beaches are really easy with shallow water, and for the more adventurous there are plenty of places to explore - pine forests, volcanoes, whale watching etc.

    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
