Staying at El Patio de Tita < http://www.littlehotels-canaries.co.uk/tita.php in the Orotava Valley we found ouselves the sole occupants, so we could swim as we wished :-) A great 6 day break! Be careful with the car hire - very Spanish! Check that you uplift your car from the airport to save time! Los Realejos has a large supermarket, and great restaurants including one which bbqs whole rabbits......(no photos!)
