Tenerife Holidays

Tenerife is one of the most beautiful of the Canary Islands. These Spanish islands are located off the coast of Morocco and are exotic as well as beautiful. When planning Tenerife holidays, it will be easy to find plenty of wonderful things to do.

Tenerife is so special that it is considered to be the Jewel of the Canaries. There are many things to enjoy on Tenerife holidays, and just mentioning five of them will at least get you started.
First of all, it should go without saying, that Tenerife is a perfect place to enjoy the sun, sand and water of the Atlantic Ocean. With the spring and summer weather that exists year-round on this island, these activities never stop.

A must see and do while on Tenerife holidays is to take a trip to Mount Teide. Teide is a live, snow-capped volcano and is also the location of a national park. You can take a bus tour that travels up the winding road past volcanic rocks, large boulders, and hair-raising turns. It is also possible to drive the road on your own and be able to stop and enjoy the scenery along the way up and down. Don't be surprised to find snow on the car as you descend the mountain.

It is also fun to pack a picnic lunch and enjoy eating that at the summit; weather permitting, of course.
Tenerife holidays offer the visitor the golden sands of the beach of Playa de Las Teresitas. This is located right near the capital of Tenerife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The beach is man-made and has perfect swimming water because the sands are cornered off by a breakwater.

This is a great beach for the whole family with the clean and shallow waters. There are bars, showers and everything you need for that perfect day in the sun.

Playa de Las Teresitas is not the place for surfing, however, and the north and northwest coastline is the best for that activity. Also at the most northwestern tip of the island is the most breathtaking sunset you may ever see. It is worth a drive to Faro de Teno but be careful. Don't take the road in bad weather due to possible landslides. There is a wonderful restaurant there, the El Burgado, that offers the perfect view of the sunset.

Last, but not least, in the top five things to do is to try the delicious local cuisine. Fresh fish is excellent. Be sure to try the Canary Island potatoes which are roasted new potatoes made very salty. It's also a great idea to try the small local restaurants that are run by local families. They will not only offer you mouth-watering food, but will surround you with kindness that you will not soon forget. Tenerife holidays are truly something special.
