    Tenerife mejor que ver las ballenas Tenerife es único. Si no tuviera la vida echa en otra parte, aquí me venía a vivir. Y la gente estupenda, simpática, amables abiertos. Las ballenas bueno fue una experiencia de tres horas, las vimos a lo lejos, pero mo vimos nada más. Te Dan una pulga de bocadillo y una vbebida al empezar y casi al acabar.
