Finca Palo Alto

Finca Palo Alto General information for guests at the Finca "Palo Alto":

 

Water
The tap water in El Jaral is of drinking quality and can be used for cooking without hesitation. Sometimes it is slightly chlorinated. Attention: This is only possible here. Do not drink from water pipes anywhere else. We recommend mineral water for drinking.

Waste
Please collect your waste in normal plastic bags (from shopping) and throw the sealed bags into the grey garbage container at the school every day. This will prevent vermin. Throw glass bottles and packaging into the glass container and collection container for packaging.

Towels
There are enough towels in every bathroom. Please do not take these to the beach. If the towels are dirty, give them to us in the laundry basket to be washed. The basket is picked up about once a week. Please do not wash them yourself!
Bed linen
There are two more sets of bed linen in each bedroom. Open them up if necessary and give us the dirty ones in the basket to be washed.
Attention: Please do not wash the house's laundry (towels, bed linen, etc.) yourself.
Coffee machine
There is a coffee machine for filter coffee and/or an espresso machine in the house.

Fill the ground espresso coffee into the portafilter for 1 or 2 cups.
Please wash the sieves after use and keep them. If they are not there when you move out, a € 50 fee will be charged. Some houses also have an espresso capsule machine.
Room cleaning and washing machine
A cleaning service (€ 15 per hour) is available on request. Otherwise, brooms and cleaning equipment are available. There is a shared washing machine at Casa Azul. You can get the key from the gardener. The wash cycle costs € 5, excluding detergent. Please pay him the total amount directly.
Plants
If you would like to water the plants in the finca yourself, please let us know otherwise the gardener will come by to water them.

Electricity
The Finca has normal alternating current, 220V/50Hz, like in Germany. The fuse box is in the living room behind the door. If the power goes out, switch the machine back on. It could also be the machine in the external meter box!
Pool and whirlpool
The pool is solar-heated. Please close the cover after use, otherwise the heat will be lost.
The whirlpool is permanently heated to 37 C and you can use it at any time.
To open it, one person on the left and one on the right should fold the two-part cover plate over the metal bracket and then slide it down to the back. Please close it again after use; otherwise, the expensive heat will be wasted, and we will have to contribute to the electricity costs.
Please note: Children are only allowed in the pool or whirlpool under parental supervision. Children should not bathe in the whirlpool for longer than 15 minutes.
Gas heating
Some houses have gas heating. The first bottle is free and usually lasts for around 10 days. Exchanging additional bottles is subject to a fee and must be ordered from the caretaker.
Infrared heating.
In some houses, there is infrared heating in the bedrooms. This ensures that the bedroom is at a pleasant temperature. Please do not change the set temperature on the thermostat to 20°C.

Restaurants
In Tejina, after the first bar and the supermarket, a road leads up to the left. Here is the restaurant "Las Goteras" with good, original Spanish cuisine. In Guia de Isora you will find several restaurants and pizzerias on the main street. Here too, the quality and price are OK. (If you get to know a good restaurant, ask for a business card and put it in your folder)
Supermarkets
If you are coming from El Jaral, turn right towards Guia de Isora. On the main road, after 500m, turn right into the "Dialprix" supermarket and just before you leave the town, turn left into "Alteza". If you turn left coming from El Jaral, you will come to Tejina and on the left is a bar and a small supermarket with surprisingly good prices. The large supermarket is at the large roundabout in Adeje, on the left up the hill is "LIDL", and at the roundabout on the right after about 300m next to the petrol station is "Mercadona" with a large fish and meat department!
Beaches
The nearest seaside resort is Playa San Juan. The quickest way is via Tejina. When you come down from
Jaral, drive left on the main road through the two tunnels.
Directly at the entrance to the town, take the first street on the right towards Playa San Juan. The path goes
through banana plantations to the lower coastal road. Turn right here. After
approx. 1km you are in Playa San Juan. The beautiful beach, however, is Playa de las Arena
with the black beach. Here is a nice place to swim. The town is on the lower coastal road 2 towns further after Playa San Juan, i.e. via Alcala to
Playa de las Arena, just before Los Gigantes. The well-known and good
restaurant "Pancho" is right on the beach.
Key deposit
On the day of departure, place the key under the
doormat of the front door after you have locked the door. You can also deposit any amounts that may be incurred for
finca wine, use of the washing machine, etc. in the house.
Smoking
Many of our guests are non-smokers or asthmatics. Therefore, you will surely understand if we ask you to smoke only on the terrace. We thank you for your
consideration.
Bodega
The bodega is available for fiestas. If more than 10 guests come to celebrate a party, we can arrange this for you. Ask us.

Los Gigantes with its cliffs is interesting.
