From 5 march till 12 march 2025, I stayed another week in Vilaflor and El Sombrerito. Again I had a very good time there. English speaking Ector and Mariela run a beautiful hotel, bar, and restaurant. And Ector is a fine cook too! I had the 'fish of the day' and later the entrecote. Tasted very good mate! And not expensive. He makes local meals too, with goat's meat, goat's cheese, mutton, etcetera. Very good breakfast too. Muesli, milk, orange juice, thee, coffee, bread, eggs, fruit; everything you need.
The room was fine and not too cold. A little electric radiator for the coldest nights, and an extra blanket was enough. it can get cold at night at 1500 meters altitude. When the bar is open you can watch football or tv in the evening on the big screen in the bar. And of course drink anything you want.
Perfect hiking tracks around picturesque Vilaflor, Paisaje Lunar, Las Lajas, Pino Gordo, Pino Enano, beautiful churches and hermitas, the restored gardens.... And of course you have to visit the volcano the Teide, and the caldera at 2200 meters altitude. By bus at around 10.30 am, and back at around 15.30 pm, or by taxi. Some persons even go there by bike.... not me....
Regardless, I had a very good time at El Sombrerito once again. Thank you very much, and maybe we'll meet again. Hasta la vista.
