Creator's Key Takeaways

After more than 20 years of cruising, we've learned the best port days are usually the ones we planned ourselves.

It is called an eternal spring. So the temperature hovers around 70 degrees all year. So very comfortable.

Always when you rent a car, take good pictures or video when you pick it up because you don't want to be charged for anything that is not your responsibility.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take photos/videos of rental cars during pickup to avoid liability for existing damage.
Always carry a jacket when visiting Mount Teide due to wind and elevation.
Keep your cruise contract and emergency contact numbers handy if renting a car.
