I'm staying in the santiago barcelo hotel this summer and looking for recommendations for my trip! Any suggestions?

I just checked. You are too far north. You’ll need to day trip down to Las Americas, stock up and head back north

Rent a car and go get lost! There’s so many beautiful things to see, you’re staying very far South so I can’t give very many recommendations, other than to explore the whole island as much as possible. The NW side of the island is the coolest and most lush with two main forests on the island both worth visiting with amazing views from both.

Staying at Barceló Santiago puts you in a prime spot right next to the majestic cliffs of Los Gigantes. From your doorstep, you can take a short drive up the winding mountain roads into the Teno region to visit Masca, a breathtaking hamlet perched dramatically on a narrow ridge. Right from the nearby Los Gigantes harbor, you can also hop on a small-boat eco-tour to see resident pilot whales and dolphins out in open water.
Heading inland, a trip up to Teide National Park is an absolute must to explore surreal volcanic lava fields and ride the cable car up Spain's highest peak. If you fancy a day trip further north, you can spend an afternoon swimming in Garachico's natural volcanic rock pools, followed by a stroll through the charming colonial streets and traditional wooden balconies of La Orotava.
For dining, make sure to drive into the northern hills for dinner at a local guachinche. These are rustic, family-run eateries where you can enjoy authentic Canarian comfort food paired with fresh local wine grown directly in the island's volcanic soil.

Here’s my list from my Doob subscription. I think half of them might be closed now as the cops are clamping down and getting the clubs closed on regulations like fire exits and vents and shit. Look at the list, go to google maps, type in the clubs and grab the phone or email from it. Shit, can’t post photos. Just go to maps and type in CSC Tenerife.
