It is time to share my photos from my last holiday. In January, I visited the (not so close) island of Tenerife and stayed there for a while. So let’s dive in into my warmer-than-usual January. ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/13311397e9.jpg "DSC07746.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/01/2e15baafa2.jpg "DSC07760.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/67971cba3b.jpg "DSC07716.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/70162f1d1e.jpg "DSC07766.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/01/16807e3898.jpg "IMG_1733.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/1552514e16-scaled.jpg "DSC07732.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/9c909f2ac2-scaled.jpg "DSC07902.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/b6275d6742.jpg "DSC07841.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/4eb1694784.jpg "DSC07792.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/01/799df61c71-scaled.jpg "DSC07838.JPG") Our visitor – I wouldn’t call him our best friend because he wasn’t that friendly but he DID let me cuddle with him for a moment. ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/3c29e8b5c0-scaled.jpg "DSC07718.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/da9c8e8272-scaled.jpg "DSC07735.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/9a246bd8eb.jpg "DSC07739.JPG") First part of the stay was mostly this – a stay. We did enjoy a bit of pool time. It was a great time to just sit down, put on some music and relax. But then, second week comes and we find ourselves driving car more and more, so we had a chance to take a look around the island. ![](https://pawel.orzech.me/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ce22ca5713.jpeg "IMG_1119.jpeg") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/d42782f158-scaled.jpg "IMG_1983.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/22b3469beb-scaled.jpg "IMG_1745.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/5d6362e0f1-scaled.jpg "IMG_1825.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/5f176a695e-scaled.jpg "IMG_1920.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/ba5393accb-scaled.jpg "IMG_1939.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/f104d8a535.jpg "IMG_1953.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/94be35fc46-scaled.jpg "IMG_1952.JPG") Of course we had to snag some sweet pics of sunset but I just couldn’t resist doing it. ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/2e0559bc15.jpg "IMG_1994.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/ed42134f7c-scaled.jpg "IMG_2020.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/a0d2094e4d-scaled.jpg "IMG_2040.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/c2e2239553-scaled.jpg "IMG_2048.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/a5cbeec23f.jpg "IMG_2057.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/625d1b8a07-scaled.jpg "IMG_2051.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/ec76397f38.jpg "IMG_2045.JPG") Then, for a brief moment – sky turned pink. And in this pink lightning – there’s my wife. ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/faffb5f806.jpg "IMG_2066.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/74589a04eb-scaled.jpg "IMG_2074.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/01/3b7bd2bd8e-scaled.jpg "IMG_2079.JPG") Then it was time to go further we ever went – quite literally! We went to see the nearby mountain (that’s actually a volcano) – El Teide. ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/bf551c5604.jpg "IMG_2095.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/b6023cfd29.jpg "IMG_2097.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/e3308e73f5.jpg "IMG_2103.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/98bbee0683-scaled.jpg "IMG_2104.JPG") To change a scenery a bit we moved down, to the top-right area of a map. I’m pretty good with geography as you can see. Top right, Tenerife, top right area on the map. There we went. ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/01/9e886228cb-scaled.jpg "IMG_2123.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/c83012e914.jpg "IMG_2118.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/0566b082f6.jpg "IMG_2127.JPG") ![](https://cdn.pawel.orzech.me/2026/02/9fa29d6289-scaled.jpg "IMG_2129.JPG") Of course – nothing good in life lasts forever so we found ourselves with [Kalima](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calima%5F%28Saharan%5Fsand%29?ref=pawel.orzech.me). That unfortunately made our life a little bit worse for a moment. There was no more pretty sunsets and everything turned a bit orange. So we got not-the-best goodbye from Tenerife but that’s fine. We are gonna get a better one next time? ![](https://pawel.orzech.me/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/0c2313317b.jpeg "IMG_7085.jpeg")
