Travel Guide to Tenerife

With a year round balmy climate, a hugely diverse landscape and a fantastic array of activities, its no wonder Tenerife has become such a popular year-round destination.

Explore Tenerife

Lush vegetation and a rocky coastline characterise the north of the island, whilst the south has a lunar landscape with volcanic sand beaches. The popular resorts of Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos, Puerto de Santiago and Puerto de la Cruz provide an ever improving range of amenities, with beautiful man-made golden sand beaches now complementing the dark sand beaches in some resorts. Mount Teide dominates the island and can be seen from vantage points all over. A journey up through thick Canarian pine forest and mountain villages, leads to the vast volcanic National Park, but to get above the clouds to the peak will involve a cable car ride.

Getting Around
Regular bus services from resorts to major towns and most large villages. There's even a bus service to Mount Teide but be careful not to miss the last bus back! Taxis are readily available 24 hours a day and are ideal and economical for shorter journeys, with some drivers speaking a little English. Hire a car and venture off down narrow country roads to find outstanding views and real local culture.

Eating and Drinking
Potaje is a thick vegetable based Canarian soup. Ropa Veja is a heartening dish and very similar to bubble and squeak. Dried apricots, raisins, almonds and goat's cheese are produced on the island. Ron Miel is a delicious honey and rum liqueur. For those with a sweet tooth, try banana liqueur which can be drunk plain or with a creamy base.

Local Interest and Culture
Take a trip to Candelaria, home to the Patron Saint of the Canary Islands. The seafront of this pretty village is adorned with the massive statues of The Guanches, nine chieftains who stand guard in a row with their backs to the Atlantic. The recently discovered Pyramids of Guimar, found 25 kilometres south-east of Santa Cruz, are also worth a visit.

Beaches
Playa Fanabe in Las Americas is a long stretch of sandy beach, over 1 kilometre in length and offers the full range of water sports and safe swimming with a wide range of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops lining the seafront promenade. Las Teresitas, outside Santa Cruz, is a beautiful beach made of sand from the Sahara desert with very few beachside developments. There's a mixture of golden sandy beaches and attractive dark volcanic beaches around the island, so there's a beach to suit all tastes.
