Tenerife Apartment Tour | Barraquito Coffee in El Medano | The Classic Everyday Cars of Tenerife
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- After fully unpacking, unloading the Bonneville and getting used to our new surroundings, we did an apartment tour of our new property in Southern Tenerife- twenty minutes from the tourist spot of Costa Adeje. I also do a cost breakdown of the apartment.
Afterwards, we went for a ride to a coffee shop to have a speciality of Tenerife- a Barraquito. On the way find a few interesting old cars still on the road. Tenerife is full of old cars- many of them in incredibly good condition, due to the lack of rain and cold conditions. Classic 1990s Mercedes, Vauxhall Novas, Renault 5s- too many old classics to stop for!
We stop off at a petrol station- the first fill up for the Bonneville. The price of fuel in Tenerife is the lowest I’ve seen anywhere in Europe- by a big margin.

Having lived in Tenerife for over thrity years, I enjoyed your video greatly, When sightseeing, don't ignore the other side of the island. There are somer great trips and scenery in the Anaga hills above Santa Cruz, and the areas around Puerto de la Cruz. Enjoy your stay in Paradise!

Let’s pray the German guy is safe and that wherever he was planning on staying survived.
What a great apartment and great value too
Recently stumbled on your series and I’m absolutely loving it. Your production style, music, etc, retro chic, etc. I’m 51 and you’re probably half that but still you drool over cars from the late 80s, early 90s. 5 years ago I retook my motorcycle licence having ridden as a teenager in Malaysia. Enjoying your videos. Keep it up. Looking forward to catching up on your previous videos.
Have just returned from Madeira , plenty of old 190 and 230 Mercedes being used as taxis , all rust free and still running strong.
It’s a very very fine site to see them!😍😍
Ohh wow, what a lovely apartment! It already looks like such an amazing place to ride too. Can't wait to see you explore the island.
Word of advice from my girlfriend who's worked on Tenerife for quite some time: bikes do get stolen, a lot. Quite recently the police even cracked down on a large group of criminals stealing motorcycles. They managed to recover 54 (!!) bikes, but I imagine a far greater number of bikes had already been parted out and sold. So please be careful, I'd hate to see something happen to your bike.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Maurice! You’ve opened my eyes, and scared me too! Thank you- I’ll take more care🤜🏼🤛🏼
Loved the videos keep up the good work 👍
Great job Freddie, Keep them coming
Love it! Everything looks wonderful 👍🏼

Enjoyed this video hope to see more

Awesome video guys, so happy you made it to Tenerife, I went there many years ago and now looking to get out of the UK somewhere in Spain so I'll be looking forward to seeing more of the content of this country.
We’ve never been to Tenerife always Lanzarote so looking forward to all your future content. All the best you two 👍
That was a great mini series detailing your trip and thanks for the additional costings. Sounds like you both had great fun on the journey. I thought my biking days were over but your fantastic videos have convinced me otherwise, so Ive just purchased a classic Honda CB400/4 to have some fun on. Looking forward to all of your upcoming Tenerife videos. Take care and have fun you two. 👍
More than anything i love about this vlog, its nice to see you and monika GENUINELY happy, in a new place. Couldn't be more excited to see what yall get up too.
Wishing you well on your new adventure. You both strike me you are seizing the day... Enjoying the uploads 😎👍
Great flat and lovely weather. Time to explore the island on two wheels 😎
Lovely video. Best of luck in your new home, flat and area looks beautiful.
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks Freddie and Monica congratulations on your new place
Your new digs look lovely Freddie & Monica, enjoy your time there.
What a lovely video and awesome presentation style. Thanks. You've just motivated me to go out on my vn900 despite typical British weather and petrol shortages.....
Great video the apartment looks fantastic you are both living the dream your going to have a great 6 months .
Very good job choosing the apartment! It will be interesting to see what things you two will see in future adventures. Best of continued good fortune.
I'm not jealous much!! Looks fabulous guys in joy looking forward to the next video 👍 👍 👍
Greetings from not so sunny south east London ! Loving your vids, the music is quality ! Very much reminiscent of my childhood in the 70’s 🎼🏍👍😎
Loved it!!
Hi Freddie I've just discovered your channel and I'm absolutely loving it.
Wonderful place, congratulations, enjoy!
I have enjoyed your videos guys, great adventure, best of luck.
Just started watching your channel, love the videos, got a few more to get upto date, always love Tenerife and the Canaries
Just found your channel today and I've been binge watching these videos. Love your passion for vehicles and rustless vehicles at that 😂
Fab video there. Lovely apartment you got. You’ll be inspiring us all to shut up shop here in the UK and head down to Tenerife with great weather and the cost of living down there. Looking forward to the rest of the series. 🙂
Great first blog from Tenerife guys! I’m adding Barraquito to my list of drinks I need to try!!😎 The video basically makes me want to book a holiday! 😂👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Wishing you both a wonderful time....
P.S: The soundtrack of your video is lovely. Great taste👍
Thanks so much for taking us on your journey to Tenerife, I absolutely love the place so I guess that's why RUclips algorithms brought you me to your channel, I was in Las Americas August just gone and looking forward to summer 2022.
Nice to watch your journey!! We did the same 21 years ago moving from Germany to Lanzarote in a Ford Explorer. All the best to you two.
I love the music guys!
Great content as usual From Freddie & Monica apartment looks amazing and the roads so quite far cry from Belvedere roads ride outs will be amazing enjoy .
They are living the dream!
Really enjoy watching your videos. Your trip from the UK to Tenerife was amazing and I take my hat off to you both. I've watched all of your uploads and recon they are extremely well done. Looking forward to seeing more as your experience in Tenerife unfolds. The roads there are fantastic on a bike you going to have a great time on the Bonnie. I'll have a look at the SIZZAPP as that looks very interesting. Enjoy and leave us poor Brits to contend with bad weather and naff roads ;-) Thank you guys
Thanks for the discount code Freddie. I ordered a Sizzapp this morning. Great apartment! Best wishes
Good choice on the apartment Freddie, Monica did you well in finding such a good place.
Nice one guys, looks brilliant...
I lived in El Medano for three months. Love it!
Just found your channel today and watched first 3 videos...Excellent tour guide. I lived in Teneriffe when i was 20 years old, 54 now so it takes me back lol. Thanks for the memories :).
Fab video as always! I had to message as the coincidences here are amazing! We are bikers who have been following you for some time and are also looking at relocating to Tenerife. We recently did a biking trip to Devon and are now here in Tenerife, but also staying in El Medano, we were really surprised when we noticed your video said the same location. Then we saw you sat on the sea front drinking those lovely Barraquitos and couldn’t believe that we had been sat at exactly the same table only a couple of hours earlier!! Admittedly we didn’t know of the Barraquitos so we must go back and try them before we go home. We will keep watching your videos and look forward to being here more permanently in the future. 😁🤞
Beautiful landscapes and very cool to watch! :)
Thank you!
I was in Tenerife last month- I am sure you will have a great time living there, I loved it. Really enjoy your videos.
Dude loving your vids! Keep up the good work!!! Even got my wife who’s not super into bikes to watch as she enjoys watching you and Monica on all your travels! Much love from the U.S.
Stunning!!!!
You’ve got me hooked on those Barraquitos now. Amazing drink!
Yes a Tenerife Car spotting channel😃
Great vlog love it when Freddie just stops to look at cars
I like it that you also have car knowledge and tell us car stuff
I was steered in your direction by my good friend, who highly rates your contribution to international vlogging . Have now watched (and subscribed) I can only concur with his recommendation and say that your videos are both interesting and very well presented.
Love love the " car spotting" please continue spotting - I enjoy it very much. 😀😀 👍👍
Very well produced,no waffle,snappy so keeps your interest,keep up the good work and hope you enjoy your stay on the island.
Looks like you two have settled in nicely, I look forward to the next instalment 🇪🇸
Thanks Dylan- all settled and perfectly in the swing now!🙂👌🏻
Just had a Burraquito coffee in Fueteventura after seeing this , your right it is a bit special ….
Enjoying the series keep it coming
Fast becoming my favourite channel on RUclips! Loved your journey down and looking forward to following what you get up to on Tenerife!
Thanks Andy!
Excellent trip. Looking forward to the next update. Glad to see you wearing a "correct" Triumph T shirt ! 😀
Thanks Mike!🙂
Lovely video Freddie and Monika.
I enjoyed every second of it and i m looking forward to see more.
Thank you
Delighted you enjoyed it, thanks Marius!
Hi Freddie and Monica. Came across your channel while looking at R9t's.
Absolutely fantastic. Great viewing, very informative and 'down to earth'. I'm stuck at home, sick, so have been ' binge' watching. Keep it up.,👍
Adore the retro cars shown in your video, really took me back a couple of decades, after passing my driving test my first car was a Metallic Blue Vauxhall Nova SR, boy I wished I’d kept it, it was in stunning condition, 3rd car I had was a Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider in Blue with only 24,000 miles on the clock, so I appreciate & thank you both for taking time out to show your love for cars from our beloved past, once again keep up the quality videos & take care on those roads, looking forward to your next update, take care of each other⭐️⭐️⭐️
Happy that you got there safely and have settled in well. Enjoy yourselves…live the dream and good luck 🤞👍😎
Thanks Alan🙂
Love the Vlog, we had our honeymoon forty years ago at Playa de las Américas at the Las Palmeras Hotel we remember that everything was and i quote "endemic to these islands" according to our tour guide.
personally i would not risk leaving the bike or anything unlocked. stay safe keep the vlogs comming as i brings back very happy memories of our honeymoon. Kindest regards Diane and Allen
Finding a late 90's early 00's Merc that hasn't rusted to bits, even on Tenerife, would be a real find! 😀Love these videos, keep them coming 👍
The absolute best notification to wake up to on a Sunday morning: Freddie Dobbs’ new video has dropped! Enjoying it as I drink my coffee and eat breakfast. I am so envious yet also inspired! Time to renew my passport. Have fun and be safe!
Looks like a perfekt hideout through fall and winter! Greetings from 🇸🇪
Really enjoyed all three videos. It’s always the best way to travel. I’m a pilot and regularly fly from Stansted to Tenerife south in fact I’m flying there this Friday morning. It will take approximately 4 hours but I’d travel your way in a heartbeat! So much more enjoyable. Great job and I wish you every success in the Canaries 👍
Stunning ☀️
what a lovely relaxing place to spend six months away from the U.K. open roads love it all the best to you both great watching 👍🏻😎🏍
Thanks Mark, I’m very excited!🙂
Looks fantastic. It has been so many years since I was in Tenerife. I must go back soon. I was waiting for "I think Barraquito is my absolute dream drink".
I wanted to say it, but I thought “no- calm down Fred”😆
Another time in your lives to make special memories, if any one is looking to spend time in Tenerife follow these lovely people.
Hi both, glad to see someone other than me that waxes lyrical over the old cars still on the road. Really excites me. Malta seems to have the oldest. Austins and British Leyland from the 60s. Love this channel to pieces, something for everyone. Beautiful apt
I’m really happy to see i’m not the only one, because I am literally beside myself with excitement seeing these cars!! I MUST do a trip around Malta- that sounds really incredible😀
Buenos dias friddie & Monica thank you for sharing your new Adventure in Tenerife Spain very much looking forward to the next chapter . Super nice weather amazing views . Not having to worry about locking your bike now that's something . Best wishes to you both . Rolley
Buenas dias Rolley! I’m still getting used to the more relaxed bike security!😆 Thanks so much, really appreciate it🙂🙌🏻
New subscriber. Luv the content 👍
Liked the mini tour of your new spacious apartment, looks great. Great to see you out on the Triumph on the roads of Tenerife, you are going to love riding up to mount Teide.
We were out on our Bonneville yesterday enjoying the last of the summer, went for coffee and cake at the Black Shed……………….ran out of fuel! All the garages were sold out, so I stopped at our local bike shop they gave us 5=litres to get home.
Looking forward to your next vlog.👍
Really glad you enjoyed it Shane!
Noooooo!! But how nice of the bike shop!🙂⛽️
Fantastic video. Great information. Top quality and very enjoyable to watch.
I know nothing about cars. My second car was a nova you are right they were called Opel in Spain.
I first went to Tenerife in 1989. I recall thinking gosh these people don’t have to deal with rust on cars like us. You summed it up well here.
We loved Tenerife so much back in 1989 would loved to have done what you did. But then we found other places , other challenges , children.
Enjoyed watching your trip by road in Spain. We must have done similar trips down France and Spain maybe a dozen times over the years. Only thing was we had three children in the back. Plus we had an additional boat to figure out what way to get from Northern Ireland to the mainland and back on the return.
You edit it all really well. The joy of travel and the freedom to make your own decisions. Keep making the videos. Great quality and thanks.
Vicarious travel is what this channel is all about for me.
Love Freddie & Monica's relationship is amazing and the video quality, editing and production is awesome!
Really hope the German guy on La Palma is ok. Fingers crossed. Hopefully you'll fortuitously meet up sometime.
Loving your channel, guys!
Best of luck for the future.
🍻 🍻
El Medano love sitting there at the Calima Cafe sipping a coffee watching the world go by.
Liking the cars you show on the channel I've got a mk4 escort rs turbo series 2 hope you and Monica enjoying it out in tenerife
If RUclips had a two thumbs up option I would have clicked it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this channel. I can't click fast enough when I get notifications of a new video.
We love el Medano... been there once a week to follow the Kitesurfers... have a great time there:-)
I go to GC a lot and it’s great to see tatty old 80s cars bumbling about. I think they look great all battered and sun faded.
Couldn’t agree more!
Whenever i go to southern Europe i always do a bit of old car spotting like yourself, Malta is a good place for it too i can't help myself!!.
Hi Freddie and Monika! Thanks for the videos I am really enjoying them. Probably you know now, the liqueur that we use on the barraquito it is called Licor 43 and that is why the barraquito it is that great and yeah!! we call Opel to Vauxhall, do not know why hahahaha. Thanks one more time for the videos guys.
Love the channel. My kind of lifestyle, just riding bikes in a laid back fashion and heading off for a coffee at a favourite cafe. Not sure about living in Tenerife, though, apart from the weather. Compared to the UK I wouldn't have thought there was much variety in the way of roads, terrain, interest and culture. But you're just there for a few months so why not! Love the riding gear reviews, too.
Just found your channel and really enjoying it! lovely bike by the way and well proud of the little fiat. interested to see how you adventure pans out... i feel London wont be seeing you both in the 7 months Freddie. ;-)
Lovely video Buddy ✌️🤘
Had 2 Novas , GSI and 1.3SR
Great fun ,,
Looking forward to seeing where the next few months takes you both
I was desperate for the 1.3SR! They were incredible fun!
@@FreddieDobbs a very fun car for a guy in his early 20s 😂😉
Looks incredible mate. I moved myself this past weekend but sadly my one hasn't ended up in such a pleasant environment. Stepping stones and all that I guess (specifically the loose buggers that guarantee a dunk into the water). Have a great time there, I look forward to seeing more of what Tenerife has to offer from a biker and resident's perspective rather than just the usual tourist. And fingers crossed for the German too, maybe he'll find his way to this video eventually and let us know.
Well done sir fred and lady monica a great vidio the lovely monica looked like summer with that helmet on !🌈 on the back of your trumpet your going to miss all the rain and crap of winter in the uk and fuel shortage and food you have pulled a smart move there be safe and happy iam not jealous at all doh !
Thanks very much Leslie!!🙂🙌🏻
I’ve been closely following the British news- Monika’s mum can’t buy any fuel in Ipswich so can’t get to work- crazy!
