Tenerife

We travelled to Tenerife with Lavatrax who are now offering a downhill package. It's all van assisted and has some really long descents over a huge variety of often spectacular terrain. I would thoroughly recommend it. We spent a week there and almost rode it out in terms of what they have downhill - but they are still exploring!

We stayed in an appartment in Los Christianos. Nice to have the flexibility to cook your own food or eat out as you want, but Los Christianos is sterotypical Tenerife, full of old British couples and no atmosphere at all. We had a drink in a bar in El Medano, along the coast which has a much better atmosphere - full of kite surfers rather than high rise hotels. It would be more expensive though.
