A Stunning Landscape And Fun Fiestas

A holiday to Tenerife offers a wide range of things to see and do. Some of the most popular tourist spots are the wildlife parks which have exotic landscapes to explore. The Loro Parque is a fantastic park which is home to a wide range of wildlife including seals, penguins, tigers and even dolphins who star in their own show every day.

The Las Americas resort has a incredible water pack which also contains a host of sea life including crocodiles and sea lions, ideal for those looking to add something extra special to their trip. Tenerife is home to the majestic Mount Teide which overlooks the island; you can ride in a cable car to the top of the mountain to experience the breathtaking views so don’t forget to take your camera!

Fiestas are held in Tenerife all year round, many of them connected to religious events are known as saint’s days. The fiestas are a great opportunity to experience the exciting and vibrant Canary Island culture first hand. Fiestas in Tenerife are often compared to the celebrations in New Orleans and Brazil and attract thousands of visitors every year.

A Vibrant And Exciting Nightlife

Tenerife boasts some of the most spirited nightlife in the world, ideal for those looking to let their hair down on holiday. A few of our recommendations include Bar Imperfecto in Santa Cruz, where you can enjoy rock and roll and alternative music. The Banana Garden in Palm Beach offers tasty Mexican food, which you can burn off on the dance floor whilst listening to live bands. If musicals are more your style, why not try one of the “west end” productions like Showtime Tenerife who do a show which is basically all your favourite musicals rolled in to one!

From surf shops to bike shops to Belgian beer shops to real Spanish market shops! Shopping on the island is very popular, and even if you’re just looking for a few souvenirs to take home from your holiday in Tenerife, Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz resorts are two great places to pay a visit.

Due to it’s geographical location, Tenerife has a wonderful mismatch of cultures (indigenous, African, Latin American, Spanish, European) which have combined to produce the creative and novel cuisine the island is renowned for. Compliment some parrot fish or Canarian lobster with some of the oil and vinegar based “mojo” sauce (you’ll find everywhere you go will have their own special version of it!), or try some of the spicy blood sausage, called Morcilla. The warm climate means that fresh fruit and vegetable is plentiful all year round so healthy eating should be easy. Above all, don’t let your Tenerife holiday pass you by without trying at least some of the scrumptious local food!

Weather and Climate

Taking a holiday to Tenerife pretty much guarantees warm sunny weather with blue skies most of the year round. The south of the island is the warmest area and has hardly any rainfall. Even during the winter months, the island barely cools down making it a perfect winter holiday destination. The water temperatures are also high, which is ideal for those who enjoy swimming or water sports.
