WHY VISIT CANARY ISLAND?
TENERIFE -
A Diverse Landscape and Mild Climate
The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife spoils with its diverse landscape and mild climate. It's home to Mount Teide, the highest point in Spain, as well as rugged coastlines in the north of the island, lush forestations and beautiful valleys. With plenty of trails that offer breathtaking views, explore the island by foot and cable car on a hiking tour of Teide National Park.
By day, soak in the rays and the views on one of the island's many beaches, take a close-up look of the marine life with whale or dolphin watching, and try your hand at some watersports. By night, find a favourable spot on one of the peaks of island to enjoy a spot of stargazing.
Climate
On the same latitude as the Sahara, Tenerife is sunny for most of the year, not dropping below 20°c. Trade winds keep hot summers comfortable and the mild winters are perfect for exploring. You can lie on the beach with snow on top of El Tiede!
CUISINE
A fusion of cultures has imprinted itself on the food. Michelin star restaurants; beach bars serving freshly caught seafood; tapas in “guachinches” with the locals – food is a way of life here.
Culture
The World Heritage Site of San Cristobal de la Laguna still retains its 15th Century charm, while the island’s capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife has an impressive historic quarter.
Landscape
From the arid flanks of the world’s third highest Volcano, El Tiede, to the lush pine forests of Corona Forestal Natural Park, from tiny villages perched on ridges to steep cliffs dropping into the ocean and long black beaches, Tenerife is a spectacular island.
Golf
With an abundance of professional player designed courses, with sweeping views of a volcano and the Atlantic – there’s no better place to practise your swing.
Marine life
The waters around the Canaries offer almost perfect conditions for a large number of sea mammals. Dolphin can be seen all year round, and orca and blue whales come here to breed.
