Tenerife is one of the islands of the Canary archipelago and one of the most popular holiday destinations among tourists. As the climate is very mild, this option is ideal for a holiday all year round.
Things to consider when traveling to Tenerife
First of all, you should think about what kind of rest you need. Tenerife has almost everything to offer tourists: you can do extreme sports, relax in a hotel, undergo effective medical treatments, sightseeing, party fun, enjoy the beauty of the landscape. You can go to this island alone, and with friends, and even with small children - for every occasion there are suitable holiday options. However, the choice of location will depend on what you prefer. For example, in Las Americas, there are a lot of nightclubs and restaurants, as well as inexpensive hotels, so this place is great for young people. In contrast, Los Cristianos will be boring for party goers, but this city will leave the warmest memories for those seeking a relaxing holiday or wanting to spend time with their family.
Another important feature of a vacation in Tenerife is that its cost directly depends on the time of year. For example, in February, a trip there will be relatively expensive, since at this time a carnival is held in Santa Cruz, which attracts thousands of tourists from around the world. You can get a closer look at the cultural traditions of this place, attending magnificent parades, festivals and seeing the ritual of burning fake fish, accompanied by mass festivities. During periods of "calm", when the holidays are not held, you can significantly save on vacation.
Interesting nuances to keep in mind
Fishing enthusiasts should definitely visit Tenerife: this is one of the best places for fishing. There you can catch dorado, hammerhead fish, yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, wahoo. Few resorts in the world can offer similar conditions for catching large fish.
Lovers of contrasts will also like Tenerife. The peculiarity of this island is that there is one of the largest volcanoes in the world, which can be climbed by cable car. In winter, the top of the volcano is covered with snow, while at the foot of the volcano there is wonderful warm weather, so you can visit two "seasons" at the same time.
Monkey Park Tenerife is one of the rare places where you can see and even feed ringing lemurs. These wonderful animals in the wild were almost on the verge of extinction, but in the zoo on this island you can “communicate” with them personally. By the way, the Eagle Park will be at your service, where you can see unique shows with performances of birds of prey.
