Tenerife

A greener Canary Island

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, located off the northwest coast of Africa. The island also benefits from the warming effect of the Gulf Stream, which brings warm water from the Caribbean to the shores of Tenerife. This helps to keep temperatures mild and consistent throughout the season. The largest city Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is surprisingly lush thanks to its surrounding mountains holding on to some clouds and allowing for a bit of humidity amidst all the sunshine. Visitors mainly there for the beach opt for the resort towns spread out along the coastline.

The island has a green but rugged volcanic landscape with a mountainous interior, beautiful beaches, and turquoise waters. It is a popular tourist destination with various activities and attractions to suit all tastes, from hiking and cycling to swimming, surfing, and sunbathing.
