Back in Puerto de la Cruz after two years, and honestly, it feels like coming home. This island keeps pulling me back for three reasons that make it perfect for the nomad life.
First, the community. Reuniting with friends who feel like family, even after years apart. The warmth of Spanish culture mixed with an international crowd creates something special.
Second, the nature. Atlantic breeze, dramatic skies, weekend hikes through forests and mountains. Whether beach or peak, there's always something new to discover.
Third, the infrastructure. Blazing fast internet, probably thanks to those sea cables connecting Europe and the US. Plus everything needed for modern life, from supermarkets to specialized shops.
Tenerife proves it's possible to have both adventure and comfort in one place.
