There's so much to see and do in Tenerife, the only problem
you'll have is fitting it all in. If this comes as a surprise, perhaps it's
time you dragged yourself away from the pool and went exploring!
As you'll see from Wikipedia's
guide on Tenerife, Tenerife has the third largest volcano in the world and a peak that's
taller than any other mountain in the Canary Islands, and in Spain. It's home
to several World Heritage Sites, and its capital city - Santa Cruz - hosts a
fantastic carnival every year that's said to be second in size and stature only
to the world-renowned Rio Carnival.
How's that for
a start?
From the
man-made to the natural, there are tons of attractions to explore in Tenerife.
Get up close and personal with exotic animals in LoroParque, splash about to
your heart's content at Siam Park, one of Europe's biggest water parks, or go
walking in one of the island's beautiful nature reserves to explore its rugged
wilderness and dramatic landscapes.
As for places
to stay, you really are spoilt for choice. You only have to take a quick peek
at Trip Advisor to see the huge choice available. There are budget-friendly
self-catering apartments, rural villas in the back of beyond, swanky spa
resorts and well-equipped hotels with kids' clubs and water parks. If you're
looking for a spot of luxury, try the Iberostar Grand Hotel Salome in Playa de
Fanabe, it's one of a number of Tenerife hotels that scores highly on Trip
Advisor's 'luxury' list, and has also been named the Travellers' Choice® 2013
Winner.
Another great
thing about Tenerife is the climate. During the summer, temperatures regularly
reach the 30 degrees Celsius mark, but even in the winter months the climate
often hovers in the late teens or early twenties, which means you can often
walk around in a t-shirt while everyone else is shivering back home!
How's that for
a top trip?
