Tenerife Information
Largest of the islands, where you can watch whales off the coast,
explore Inca-style pyramids in the mountains, throw snowballs
on Mount Teide (over 12,000 ft) and then swim in the sea: all
on the same day, almost any day of the year!
Tenerife's beach and nightlife has something for everyone. On
the southwest, Playa de las Americas has the biggest range of
accommodation, from de-luxe hotels to economical apartments.
Neighbouring Los Cristianos is both a quieter, smaller resort
and ferry terminal for connections to the smaller islands.
On the northwest coast are both the spectacular towering cliffs
and small resort of Los Gigantes.
On the southeast, the Costa del Silencio stretches from Las Galletas
to El Medano. Here you'll find the best fish restaurants: try
Avencio at El Medano, or Rinconcito at Los Abrigos.
Mount Teide, a dormant volcano and National Park, influences the
weather: the north is more temperate so the land is green and
fertile, while the south is technically semi-arid desert - ideal
for sunbathing but cultivation needs artificial irrigation. The
interior has spectacular scenery where we also offer a choice
of very pleasant rural hotels.
Puerto de la Cruz is the elegant resort of the north that also
has the unmissable Loro Parque.
