  1. Please can you send details of walks in Mt Teide national park.
    Maybe a map.
    We are on holiday in March 2015.
    Are guided walks available.
    Moderate difficulty up to 6 hours but NO very steep climbs and NO steep edges/drops.

    Thank you

  2. Are there any night hikes / guided star viewings? We are staying at the parador on 26th April, which is a Sunday night.

    Would it be possible to send me some walking routes suitable for children – youngest age 9. We are coming to Tenerife at the end of July and have arranged a permit to see the crater, but would love to spend the morning seeing more of the national park.

    Thank you
    Julie
