Tenerife Apartment Tour | Barraquito Coffee in El Medano | The Classic Everyday Cars of Tenerife
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 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.

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
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!
how do you get cash?

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.
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🤜🏼🤛🏼
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!😍😍
Love love the " car spotting" please continue spotting - I enjoy it very much. 😀😀 👍👍
Great vlog love it when Freddie just stops to look at cars
Freddie is such a brilliant,natural presenter. Should be on TV.
Fast becoming my favourite channel on UA-cam! Loved your journey down and looking forward to following what you get up to on Tenerife!
Thanks Andy!
You’ve got me hooked on those Barraquitos now. Amazing drink!
Yes a Tenerife Car spotting channel😃
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.
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.
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 🎼🏍👍😎
We stayed in Los Gigantes on our last holiday before Covid. Took bus down to El Medano and spent the day there, cracking place.
Hope you enjoy your time there, would love to go back again.
Our holiday was September 19, 5 months before Covid kicked off, strangely we were warned of a virus in Los Gig and hand sanitising stations were everywhere along with guidance to wash hands frequently and advised use wipes to disinfect surfaces.🤔
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!
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!
Just had a Burraquito coffee in Fueteventura after seeing this , your right it is a bit special ….
Enjoying the series keep it coming
They are living the dream!
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.
I'm not jealous much!! Looks fabulous guys in joy looking forward to the next video 👍 👍 👍
Lovely video Freddie, great music as well 👍
The apartment looks amazing, you've both landed on your feet there. Looking forward to seeing more great videos from Tenerife. 👍
Great little tour of your apartment, what a fantastic price!!
Hope your both settling in well, look forward to seeing some more great videos.
Relax and enjoy the weather!!
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 :).
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks Freddie and Monica congratulations on your new place
Good choice on the apartment Freddie, Monica did you well in finding such a good place.
Just started watching your channel, love the videos, got a few more to get upto date, always love Tenerife and the Canaries
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⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent trip. Looking forward to the next update. Glad to see you wearing a "correct" Triumph T shirt ! 😀
Thanks Mike!🙂
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”😆
We love el Medano... been there once a week to follow the Kitesurfers... have a great time there:-)
El Medano love sitting there at the Calima Cafe sipping a coffee watching the world go by.
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🙂🙌🏻
I do hope the German guy is safe and well and off La Palma, with hope he’ll come to Tenerife and settle there, be great if you did see him again. I do love Tenerife, I’ve been going since 1996, unfortunately not every year.
After you had your Baraquito and stopped off at that “Car Park”, as you took your helmet off, just as you had it down at your side with the view in the background, that would be a photo I’d be proud of.
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 👍
Happy that you got there safely and have settled in well. Enjoy yourselves…live the dream and good luck 🤞👍😎
Thanks Alan🙂
Another time in your lives to make special memories, if any one is looking to spend time in Tenerife follow these lovely people.
We’ve never been to Tenerife always Lanzarote so looking forward to all your future content. All the best you two 👍
I have enjoyed your videos guys, great adventure, best of luck.
Ahh Tenerife it is tha heaven on earth a nice place :) I have been there 8 times the last 2o years and i never get tired of it now i have pension so i maybe move down there since i live in cold Norway :) Nice!
Go for it ! Make the move and enjoy your retirement.
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 👍
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. 😁🤞
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!🙂
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
Lanzarote and César Manrique Foundation is a must visit. Enjoy Teide star gazing. Its going to blow your mind. 😁
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 😎
I was in Tenerife last month- I am sure you will have a great time living there, I loved it. Really enjoy your videos.
Another excellent video Freddie. Been following you for sometime and always enjoy watching you and Monika and your adventures. Wishing you both a fantastic time on Tenerife and looking forward to more great videos.
Thanks so much!🙂
Enjoyed this video hope to see more
If UA-cam 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.
Another great video, Freddie. The big rock (Montaña Roja) can be climbed via a path from the El Medano side. The side you can see from your apartment has a nudist beach right in the shadow of the rock. Can't wait for the next video!
Ah thanks Peter- I was wondering if it could be climbed! And we just found out we’re next to a nudist beach!😆
If you take a bottle of water and some crisps on the climb, you can sit out of the wind at the top, put some water into the bottle cap and watch dozens of small lizards come out to drink and eat crisps.
@@peterknight183 That's brilliant, I'll try this!😆
Our stomping ground, we have an apartment in Fairways just up the road, (we rent it out) But we were out there the other week for 2 weeks, it was so windy, overcast most of the time and rained lol But it's still great to go there and relax :D The apartment looks great :D
Really enjoyed watching these video's on your move to the Canary Islands. How are you managing to stay longer than 3 months coming from the UK with Brexit and everything?
Great job Freddie, Keep them coming
Very well produced,no waffle,snappy so keeps your interest,keep up the good work and hope you enjoy your stay on the island.
Love it! Everything looks wonderful 👍🏼
I used to own a Cortina Mk 3 estate with mushrooms growing out of the carpet. I also owned a Cortina Mk 4, a Vauxhall Chevette, a 1980's Vauhall Astra and a Peugot 405. I learned to drive in a Renault 16 with the gear change on the steering column. Good car. They all had manual chokes apart from the 405.
Wishing you both a wonderful time....
P.S: The soundtrack of your video is lovely. Great taste👍
Loved the videos keep up the good work 👍
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!
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!🙂👌🏻
i lived in ibiza for 7 years and used to see a lot of old cars often still driving around the island but sometimes just sat wasting on private land. renault 5 gt's were a common sight, the odd opel manta etc. im very jealous of your new place i miss spain terribly.
You and Monika are turning out to be one of the most adorable couples I have come across . Cheers to both of you ✌️👍🍻
Great film,nice to see some of the island. You should try and head up to Los Gigantes part of the island. It has amazing cliffs. Good to see Freddie sporting the Steve McQueen style of riding gear, the old American Chinos and Dessert Boots. Well Done!
Thanks John! The next vlog’s from Masca- truly truly mind blowing!!!🙂
As a UK sub I'm not jealous in the slightest !!! 😖😞😟😥 And how refreshing to see a petrol station without a 30 car Queue waiting to get in and still has some fuel to sell 😁😁😁😁😁 Keep the videos coming !! 👌👌
Just found your channel today and I've been binge watching these videos. Love your passion for vehicles and rustless vehicles at that 😂
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.
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
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.,👍
Great content , I’m new to your channel, it’s right up my street . How are you managing the schengen zone restrictions… 90 in 180 day rule ?
Learnt to drive and passed my test in a Vauxhall Nova 1.2L, great little cars, that was about 1987/88.
Beautiful landscapes and very cool to watch! :)
Thank you!
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.
My wife and I honeymooned in Playa de Los Americas in 1986 and rented a white Opel Corsa. It was hardly a ball of fire - only a 1.3 - but if you took out the air cleaner it was good for an extra horsepower. Or so I’ve been told.
Thanks for the discount code Freddie. I ordered a Sizzapp this morning. Great apartment! Best wishes
Hello,
I am very pleased with your presentation and jurney from Englad to Tenerife. So many beautiful places on the way,but at the end of trip this is spectacular. The new apartment is very qute and modern and spacious and evertihing that will surelly confort you and Monica. Why I am so entusiastic? Simply because my son and his wife had the same choice as you. They are living now in Tenerife and I think it is a perfect choice in every aspects. Your comments as new commers in the area are so positive and fresh. Let's become truth
your wish to learn spanich.
I will share with my son
your yotube chanell.
Adrian
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.
🍻 🍻
I lived in El Medano for three months. Love it!
Stayed in El Medano for 3 nights. In the afternoon the wind builds up off the African coast, making El Medano a paradise for wind and kite surfers. The rock promontory at the southern end is a lava vent extending out from from El Tiede. I got a taste for octopus in the restaurants. Magellan pulled into the natural harbour on his trip around the East Indies.
We stayed in the appartment compex in lava red 10 months ago, and in 3 weeks back to El medano. I hope one day I can buy an appartment on Tenerife, I love it.
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.....
Thanks so much for taking us on your journey to Tenerife, I absolutely love the place so I guess that's why UA-cam algorithms brought you me to your channel, I was in Las Americas August just gone and looking forward to summer 2022.
Must say Freddie you look like a model for triumph one cool dude, nice to see you and Monika happy in Tenerife qué tengas un buen día amigo 👍
You’re too kind, thank you David! We’re really loving it, gracias!🙂
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😀
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. ;-)
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!
Lovely apartment..enjoy.. We are looking forward to your journeys in Tenerife xx
Love the canaries. Visiting lanzorote for the first time next week and back to Tenerife in December and April. We may bump into u guys if I see a posh guy on a triumph ill stop you 😂 were staying in Adje and Las Americas
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 😂😉
Wow! El Medano has changed out of all recognition since I was last there... forty-five years ago! It was just the hotel and a few fishermen's cottages then.
Wow i absolutely envious of your life i wish im there now
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. 🙂
I like it that you also have car knowledge and tell us car stuff
even "the worst" from Freddie sounds like a compliment!!
Never been more jealous. Mainly because you can actually put petrol in your fuel tank. I’ve got more fuel in my lawn mower than in my bike. Really want to go out for a ride today. On a brighter note though, that Nova made me smile and took me back to 1986.
The fuel situation’s crazy in the UK at the moment!!! So glad you liked the Nova- a very special car of its time🙂🖤🚗
You should get your petrol at the Los Abrigos round-about by the motorway. And on Saturdays and Sundays. Prices drop by 6-10 cents on these days. Could be different days of the week in other petrol stations. 2 weeks ago, petrol was 0.98 eur / L. Enjoy!
Me a wife did similar journey last did the same ferry but drove thou to Santander in a day 26 hours on boat to Portsmouth then a days drive up to Stirling central Scotland in a Land Rover Discovery 3 towing a cargo trailer 😎🏴
Great content, your presenting style is very good indeed. Actually, you remind me of AA Gill a young version maybe, you definitely have that vibe.
