If you are looking for a nice place, where sunny days dominate throughout the year and the average of temperatures lies between 20-22°, then welcome to Tenerife!
There are indeed many reasons which would encourage you to visit this place, but for sure, Tenerife's weather is the main one.
So many people of all ages travel to Tenerife to have long weeks or months full of relax and for this reason lots of them have an holiday home on the island.
Fly here is very easy and there are two airports: one located in the north and the other one in the south.
My first advice is to rent a car if you want to move wherever you prefere and make a complete tour of the island.
Tenerife is not so big but so many landscapes deserve to be visited!
Thanks to the excellent position on the Atlantic ocean, lot of surfers comes here to practice this sport.
One of the most important beaches to surf is Playa del Medano, just a few kilometers far from the airport Tenerife South - Reina Sofia.
Another very famous beach is Playa de las Americas and is one of the most popular tourist destinations.
All the zone is lively,animated and suited to entertainment, with lot of bars, pub, disco and restaurants.
Here you can find young people from all Europe.
If you are looking for a touristic zone but definitely quieter than Playa de las Americas, you can go to Los Cristianos.
Here I would advice you a very nice restaurant (Water Melon - Av. La Habana 8B, Los Cristianos), where you can eat a very good parillada on a terrace overlooking sea, in a beautiful atmosphere with candlelight.
Leaving the south you can drive up to the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the biggest and most populated city of Tenerife.
With the city behind us and continuing the tour into narrow streets, between mountains and sea , you will arrive in another fascinating and magic place, Punta Teno, one of the most unforgettable landscapes of the island.
This is the place I would recommend to all the people who want to visit an amazing area.
Here you will find only sea, mountains, wind and a small lighthouse.
Teide is the third biggest volcano of the world, with its 3718 metres, impressive mountain in the heart of Tenerife.
The national park of Teide is the most visited in all Europe.
You can make excursions, during the day time, by walk (if you are adventurous or trained!) or by cableway (ticket cost is about 25 €).
Here you can forget the beaches and the warm climate because the temperature is quite cold but once in life you have to try the immensity of the landscape seen from the above of the volcano.
Last but not least, I recommend to make a visit during the Carnival time.
The carnival is one of the most well-known features of Tenerife and the best after Rio de Janeiro.
The main celebrations take place in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the areas near the port where people dance with the sound of the best Salsa groups.
Whoever visits Tenerife during the month of February should not miss the vibrant and bustling celebrations and if possible join the crowd in fancy dress.
If you want to travel through breathtaking natural scenery, come here to enjoy and relax, in the island of eternal spring.
With Love,
G
