A wide beautifully paved bikeway led us six miles along the coast from the ship's port to the seaside village of San Andres. A sleepy picturesque town of colorful stucco homes and narrow little streets and cafes. While off the coast of Africa, we were certainly in Europe where men gather, hang out and gossip away their day. Very provincial and delightful. A short ride further, led us to a mile long white sandy beach. Parking our bikes, we strolled through the cool Atlantic waters and had our picnic.
On the way back to town, we passed a billboard advertising the Barcelona World Race Decathalon, depicting the modes of transportation in the race with contestants exiting subway cars with their "folding bikes" just like ours!
Back in Tenerife, we gathered at McDonalds; our European stop for free wi-fi. What a beautiful city - white boulevards, outdoor cafes, parks, monuments, palm trees.
