A Ride Through the Clouds to Icod de los Vinos | Tenerife

Monika and I rode across the Teno mountain range to the north coast of Tenerife- to the town of Icod de los Vinos.
This 500 year old town is famous for its wine and a supposedly 1,000 year old Dragon Tree!
The Triumph Bonneville had started to sound a bit ropey as we travelled across the mountain range, and the temperature dropped significantly, so we were genuinely cold by the time we’d reached 1km altitude with thick cloud.
The landscape to cross to the north of Tenerife was hugely diverse and felt almost more like the UK, with fairly lush vegetation and quite green.
We pick up a speciality of Tenerife while in Icod de los Vinos- Banana Liquor, and then grab a bite to eat at Casa del Drago- a superb little restaurant with front line seats to the Dragon Tree- we hugely recommend getting a coffee or bite to eat there!
On the way, we see some great classic cars, including a Vauxhall Nova, a Mk2 VW Golf, and an old Mercedes 240!
