| Loro Parque - Once a Parrot park, Loro Parque has now grown into the second biggest attraction on the island! (after El Teide, which as a volcano is likely always to be bigger!) Here you must see the world's biggest Penguinarium where 12 tonnes of snow falls every day! There's also a shark tunnel within an aquarium for you to get up close with sharks, Orca (killer) whales recently brought in from SeaWorld, Florida. There are daily sea-lion shows which really can't be missed, as well as lions, tigers, gorillas and jaguars. |
The Ivy - a real home from home, this ex-pat owned and run gem offers locally inpired food together with quality English cuisine in a relaxed yet formal environment. The subject of several glowing reviews on the internet, the Ivy is a regular haunt of the permanent English community, testament to their cruise-line trained head chef, Laura, and the warm welcome provided by owners Wendy, Dave and Douglas. Sensible prices, families welcome - booking not essential, but advised. |
