Vacation in Tenerife – a paradise island for an unforgettable trip
Dreaming of a perfect vacation, where spring reigns all year round and every day brings new impressions? Welcome to Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary archipelago, where sunny weather pleases tourists more than 300 days a year. Here the air temperature remains comfortable in any season (+20-25°C), and the warm ocean (+19-23°C) invites you to the beaches even in winter.
Tenerife is the largest and most diverse island of the Canary archipelago. It is not just a holiday destination, but a unique combination of natural landscapes, comfortable climate and wide opportunities for recreation. The main difference is the stunning contrast between the northern and southern parts. The southern coast is famous for its dry, sunny climate and sandy beaches, while the north is immersed in the greenery of subtropical forests and enjoys mild coolness.
Another calling card of the island is the Teide volcano – the highest point in Spain (3718 m) and a national park with out-of-this-world landscapes. The nature of Tenerife is surprisingly diverse: you can find lava fields, relic forests, rocky cliffs and black sand beaches.
The local resorts offer first-class hotels and entertainment, while the north offers atmospheric colonial towns and authentic Canarian culture. The island is suitable for all types of travellers, from couples to adventurers.
Tenerife is also one of the best places in Europe for whale and dolphin watching in the wild. Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream current, more than 20 species of marine mammals live here.
Gastronomy is another reason to travel. Local wines, fresh seafood, traditional potato ‘papas arrugadas’ with mojo sauce and exotic fruits make for an unforgettable culinary experience.
This amazing island is amazing in its diversity. Where else can you visit a tropical beach, climb a volcano, walk through misty forests and end the evening in a stylish restaurant overlooking the ocean all in one day?
