El Medano, Tenerife

that's where my friend Anna and I had a wonderful week of vacation during the last week of April.
El Médano is a small town only 15 minutes drive from the southern airport.
For some reason it's been spared by mass tourism and managed to obtain much of its original character...
If you're into wind- and/or kite-surfing, El Médano is a small El Dorado for you.
It also sports a bunch of tiny little boutiques - just the thing for a little island/ souvenir shopping.
But the best of all are the little cafes and restaurants - with papas arrugadas and delicious fish and seafood dishes...
we also made trips to Los Cristianos and El Teide Nationalpark. From Los Cristianos we joined a whale-watcher-tour... gorgeous! Here are a few pics...

Made to love

vacation's been over for almost three weeks and I'll tell you more about it in a bit... but for now I wanna share this song with you... it's one of my all-time-favorites and it touches me every single time:

The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door
I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see
It's no mistery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did I forget that...
I was made to love you,
I was made to find you,
I was made just for you, made to adore you
I was made to love and be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
and you said you'd keep me never would you leave me
I was made to love and be loved by you
The dream's alive with my eyes open wide
Back in the ring you've got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the haters spitting vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I'm reachin out, reachin up, reachin over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And Daddy, I'm on my way
Cause I was made to love...
I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you, made to adore you
I was made to love and be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
and you said you'd keep me never would you leave me
I was made to love and be loved by you
Bridge
Anything I would give up for you
Everything I give it all away
Cause I was made to love you
I was made to love you.......

I was made to love you, I was made to find you
I was made to love you, was made to adore you, made just for you
I was made to love you, I was made to adore you, made just for youI was made to love you, I was made to adore you, made just for youI was made to love you, I was made to adore you,
I've been loved by you
yeah, I've been loved by you
