About Tenerife
 

At the heart of the island lies Spains tallest mountain, Pico del Teide which translates to White Mountain. This volcano forms part of the national park which attracts thousands of vistors every year. The barren east coast contrasts starkly with the rich, green northwest, and the steep cliffs of the north seem worlds away from the holiday playgrounds of Playa de las Americas and the south west of the island.



The South East of the island has been sympathetically enhanced for the comfort of tourists. The beaches are naturally made of black sand from the volcanoes, but they have imported miles of golden sand from the Sahara Desert , and lined some of the resorts with palm trees. The beautiful warm seas are ideal for water sports, games and swimming. Bars and restaurants line some resorts offering anything from the traditional English Breakfast to Spanish tapas throughout the day.

The Northern areas are the most densely populated especially around its capital Santa Cruz. The region is humid with lush vegetation and vineyards which initally attracted all the tourists.

In the north of the island, the Anaga coastlineā€™s jagged rocks and the craggy Cliffs of Los Gigantes tower steeply above the blue Atlantic.


The island's geographic and sociographic diversity provides something for everyone, from whale watching to walking, from nightclubbing to bird watching and from steamy cityscapes to verdant villages. Tenerife is great for letting your hair down and partying espicially in the carnival season.
