Summary
This episode introduces a new style of video called Aftercast Afternoons. The idea is simple: head out in the afternoon, choose a cafe, have a drink, and show viewers what the place is like.
For this first outing, Tim heads to Marietta Ice Cream Parlor in Playa de Las Américas, right by the seafront between McDonald’s and the tennis courts. After a breezy start and a quick drone shot, he settles in with a small Dorada and starts working through the menu.
Along the way, he chats with two visitors from Italy, Aurora and Ariana, who are enjoying a week in Tenerife. The episode then turns into a proper menu tour, covering smoothies, cocktails, desserts, wine, main meals and breakfast options before wrapping up and heading home.

Full write-up
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones, and this episode feels exactly like that. Tim opens with the launch of a brand new format called Aftercast Afternoons — a looser, shorter kind of Tenerife video built around dropping into a cafe in the afternoon, having a drink, and showing people what’s there.
There’s a bit of fun from the start, with viewers invited to guess where he’s heading before the location is revealed. The conditions are breezy, but not breezy enough to stop a quick drone shot. That gives the opening a bit of energy and helps make the episode feel distinct straight away.
The destination turns out to be Marietta Ice Cream Parlor in Playa de Las Américas, nicely positioned between McDonald’s and the local tennis courts. Once there, Tim gives a quick look around the venue and the surrounding seafront before settling down in the shade with a canya.
From that point on, the episode becomes a proper cafe tour. There’s a detailed run through of the drinks menu, including smoothies, cocktails, bottled beers and even Corona on draft. The small Dorada arrives, and the whole thing has that very Tenerife blend of casual, sunny and slightly improvised charm.
A nice human moment arrives when Tim chats with Aurora and Ariana, two young women visiting from Italy. It’s the kind of spontaneous exchange that often lifts these videos, giving a sense of who is actually passing through the island and what their holiday experience feels like. They talk about where they’re staying, what the nightlife was like, and how much the trip cost.
After that, the focus swings back to the menu. Desserts, pastries, wine, mains, burgers, fish dishes and breakfast items all get a mention. The place comes across as somewhere with a genuinely large range rather than just a token tourist menu, and Tim’s commentary suggests it may be doing more proper cooking than packet food.
The video finishes in a nice understated way, with one last look around and a sign-off as Tim heads home to cook for Christine. It’s short, relaxed, and easy to watch — exactly the kind of episode that could slot neatly into the channel as a regular extra format.
