My first month on Tenerife (2023.05.21)
Exactly one month ago (on the afternoon of 2023.04.21) I arrived on Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. At first the daylight temperatures felt hot, and the night temperatures felt cold, but I quickly used to them. Since I arrived on Tenerife I live with a (mostly Hungarian) cave/tent living community on South Tenerife. I lived both in a cave and in a tent too. Currently I live in a tent. I very much like both of them.
Most of the days were almost full of sunshine so far. The previous few days were cloudy. Today too. On one of the previous few days there were a few very little raindrops, but there were no real rain. I heard that the rain is very rare on this part of the island, but I also heard that it can be serious. It can wash away the things, including the tents.
In addition to the previously mentioned lemon trees, we have other trees too. We water them every day.
We have other plants too in pots. A complete garden. Of course we regularly water them too.
We cook the food outside on the community place. We have multiple cooking places.
By the way, yesterday (on 2023.05.20) afternoon someone gifted two seats to the community place. It is very convenient/pleasant to sit on them.
I really like this lifestyle. Living in the nature. Probably I will stay on Tenerife for long term (for months, for years, for decades).
We will see.
Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
I'm glad that you like the lifestyle
I can tell from your text that you are enjoying it
Yes. There is no rent, no bills (except the mobile internet), no worries, no stress. I spend as little money as possible.

Good to know that I made your day better with this post. It is always good if any of my posts brings a good mood to anyone. Thank you for positive the feedback.
Hello dear friend @xplosive good day
It's good that you are very well there, and you are enjoying it
I wish with all my heart that you do well and that you stay there for a long time
have a beautiful sunday
Thank you. I also wish a quick recovery/healing for you. Hopefully soon you can return to the gardening activities. I wish the best both to you and to everyone else too.
Funny post friend, genial !PGM
The best in it is that I am not joking. I (and the local community) really live like this on South Tenerife. In caves/tents in the rocky semi-desert. Soon (in the next few days) I will upload more photos.
What do you do for food buddy? Would you be still able to claim any funds from Hungarian government?
Mostly we (the local cave/tent living community) recycle (collect the no longer sellable, but still edible foods, which the stores are throwing away). We rarely buy food. We spend very little money. The recycling is a common practice in multiple counties, but currently this is not be possible in Hungary. So nowadays I would not be able to do this in Hungary.
On the papers I am still in Hungary. I currently do not have a Spanish address. I currently have two Hungarian addresses. I still receive my pension-like income from the Hungarian government.
Ah you are fine so . No fear of you
It sounds like you've found a very vital, well-balanced community. Do you grow any of your own vegetables? I bet a raised-bed garden would work well in that climate. It might require less water too. I'm happy you've found a more suitable place to live!
Yes. I very much like it.
Yes. Recently we bought two lemon trees, and we have other plants too. But mostly we recycle the food (collect the no longer sellable, but still edible food, which is thrown away by stores).
I do not know this yet. I currently do not have much experience in growing vegetables.
Me too. It is much easier. The best is that this island is warm all year. Even in the winter. The temperature is at least around 15 °C in the winter, so you do not have to heat. You do not have to worry about the cost of heating.
