With Tweety on Tenerife: My Unforgettable Road Trip After the Holidays

After the bustling Christmas celebrations and the colorful New Year’s Eve festivities, I longed for peace and freedom. What could be better than a road trip around Tenerife? With the charming VW T3 campervan “Tweety,” I set out to explore the entire island. Traveling with Tweety on Tenerife – it was the best decision of my life!

First Stop: Tranquility in the North

My adventure began in Puerto de la Cruz. As soon as I arrived, I soaked in the relaxed atmosphere of the old town—a wonderful contrast to the holiday rush. Traveling in a campervan meant I could stop wherever I pleased. I parked Tweety at a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Atlantic and enjoyed my first sunset—right from my bed!

The north of the island is known for its lush landscapes. I visited the Botanical Garden and hiked in the Anaga Mountains. Thanks to Tweety, I could spontaneously decide to stay overnight near the trail. This flexibility made the road trip truly special.

The Heart of the Island: Teide National Park

On the third day, I drove into Teide National Park. The winding roads were an adventure in themselves, but Tweety handled the climbs with ease. Seeing the snow-capped volcano surrounded by surreal lava fields was breathtaking.

I parked the campervan at one of the designated spots and prepared a warm meal. It’s hard to describe how incredible it feels to sip coffee in the middle of such an otherworldly landscape—with absolute silence all around.

Soaking Up the Sun in the South

After the cooler days in the north and at Teide, I headed south for some sunshine. Tweety took me safely to Los Cristianos, where I strolled along the beach promenade. It was much quieter than during peak season—many tourists had already left, and I had the beaches almost to myself.

Thanks to the campervan, I was able to discover hidden gems like Playa de la Tejita. Waking up to the sound of the waves and taking a morning walk on an empty beach was priceless.

My Conclusion: Tweety Made the Difference

Tenerife is an island of contrasts—from lush forests and rugged volcanic landscapes to golden beaches. But what truly made my trip unforgettable was Tweety. The VW T3 campervan was more than just a vehicle; it was my home, my retreat, and my loyal companion.

Exploring Tenerife with Tweety after the holidays is especially rewarding. The island is less crowded, allowing you to fully enjoy its natural beauty. With a campervan like Tweety, this dream becomes a reality. Once you experience this kind of freedom, you’ll never want to travel any other way.
