eTenerife regularly receives emailed questions that would be better
asked in a forum setting. A destination portal like Etenerife is
a great place to find detailed articles and information but a forum
is ideal for asking specific questions and getting a more or less
immediate response.
Blogs are also a good source of feedback. If the blogger invites
comments, it is likely that the blogger himself or one of his/her
visitors will respond to any comment you make.
Here are some of the best Forums and Blogs relating to Tenerife
and the Canary Islands.
Forums
Tenerife Forum
This is a lively community which covers a wide range of topics about
enjoying a holiday or living in Tenerife including Jobs
Available,
items for
sale , News
and Announcements and much more.
Sun4Free Forum
This is another very busy forum run by the boys from Sun4Free. The
Rants threads
are always worth a laugh and the thread specific to North
of Tenerife is particularly valuable as the South does tend to get much more
coverage.
Holiday Truths Tenerife
This is a long-standing forum and is particularly valuable for those
planning a holiday to Tenerife.
There is less structure to the Forum in that the threads are not seperated by
subject but a browse through the latest discussions can be very
informative and entertaining.
Blogs
Secret Tenerife
Undoubtedly one of the most interesting blogs about
life in Tenerife, this collection of anecdotes and ponderings about
life
on the island
is beautifully illustrated with original photography. The blog's
author Pamela Heywood has been around in Tenerife for donkey's
years and Secret Tenerife is a vast collection of funny, exasperated
and touching notes on life in her island of 'Eternal Uncertainty'.
Tenerife Times
Perhaps less personal than Secret Tenerife, Tenerife Times nonetheless
carries a vast amount of information. This blog was set up for
the express purpose of allowing visitors to question and comment
on topics relevant to Tenerife while the webmaster continunes to
add regular informative articles on life on the island. I suppose
you could call it Tenerife's first flog as it serves the
purposes
of
both
a forum
and a blog.
Joe Cawley
Joe Cawley is perhaps Tenerife's most respected English travel writer
so not surprisingly his blog is a must for those wanting to learn
more about the island. Though not as prolific a blogger as some of
the others Joe's latest musings on Tenerife are always worth reading
as are his general writing
clips which showcase travel writing at
its best.
