And, if there's one thing that really
characterises holidays to Tenerife, it's the year round sunshine.
Tenerife's year round sunshine record means that the island always in
demand. Tenerife may be closer to Africa than Spain but the atmosphere is
definitely Spanish - relaxed and unhurried by day, the pace hots up as the
sun goes down.'
The resort of Puerto De La Cruz boasts stunning views of Mount Teide, a picturesque waterfront and excellent shopping and entertainment. Here you can stroll through the old town, replete with balustraded wooden balconies, beside the main square.
Holidays in Puerto de la Cruz were pulling people in even before tourism had been invented. And it's still going strong today. Come and find out why. Parts of this once small fishing village are still the same. Fisherman bring in their daily harvest. Typically Canarian houses line the streets and normal life flourishes in this hilly town. And yet, tourism has taken off too. No wonder Puerto de la Cruz's holidays are as popular as ever.
Just 35km from Santa Cruz, this picturesque
town is full of attractions popular with the Spanish and visitors alike.
Beyond it are yet more. Loro Park is famous for its parrots and dolphin
performances and the 18th century Jardin de Aclimatacion, between Puerto
de la Cruz and Orotava, houses a variety of plants from all over the
world. "
Holidays in
Playa de las Americas have got it all. Pack your days full of jet ski
rides, beach volleyball andyour nights with karaoke, cocktails and
cabaret. Playa de las Americas holidays have got seaside sparkle by the
bucket load. Away from the sand there are water parks, spas and even a
casino begging to be explored. There are three dark sandy beaches, Playa del Bobo and the two Playas de Troya. They are very popular in high season and offer a wide range of watersports. There are also three fabulous man-made beaches situated in the Fanabe area of Playa de las Americas and out towards Playa del Duque.
As well as several golf courses to sample around Playa de las America, you can visit Mount Teide (El Pico), the 12,402 foot volcanic mountain which towers above the island, discover the lush Oratava Valley or the lunar deserted volcanic stretches towards the south. Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, so there is plenty to explore.
A holiday in Los Cristianos is
everything you would expect from a holiday in Tenerife with an added touch
of sophistication. Just south of Playa De Las Americas you're close enough
to the action of the buzzing resort if you fancy a bit more activity of an
evening without it being right on your doorstep.
Holidays in Costa Adeje are ideal for those looking for a happy medium between bustling and secluded resorts. With the spectacular sight of Mount Teide forming the back drop you may well be surprised to find a modern resort in such a natural setting. Just 3 km from Playa De Las Americas you'll find yourself in a resort that's quieter than its neighbour but still with plenty to offer. This of course could be what appeals to you about a holiday in Costa Adeje, a smaller resort that's still close to all the nightlife and action of a busier resort.
On the north coast of Tenerife, between Puerto De La Cruz and Santa Cruz, is the picturesque town of El Sauzal. Surrounded by the steep, fertile and green slopes of one of the island's prime wine-growing areas, this old and charming town shows traditional Tenerife at its very best. If you're looking for a large helping of traditional Tenerife, take a look at holidays to El Sauzal.
El Sauzal is renowned throughout Tenerife for its fine wines and superb restaurants that serve typical Canarian cuisine. Wander around the town and its streets are full of traditional architecture and buildings like the church of Los Angeles that goes back to the 16th century. Just outside the town is another famous landmark: the 17th century hacienda of Casa del Vino la Baranda which now houses a wine showcase and museum. And a few minutes beyond El Sauzal is Mesa del Mar, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, and the small fishing village of El Prix where you can eat freshly caught fish.
This little gem has got charm. Lose yourself
in the tangle of old streets crammed with beautiful architecture or pull
up a chair in a backstreet bar and sip the superb local wine. Sunbathe to
your heart's content at nearby Mesa del Mar. It's easy to see how
El Sauzal holidays can leave you smitten. With attractions nearby
including caves and beaches as well as the larger towns on the island, it
is an ideal place to stay and relax or venture out from. Guia de Isora give you chance to relax. A picture postcard village set against a stunning backdrop of mountains, you'll find a peaceful pace of life in friendly Guia de Isora. It is a typically Canarian bolthole where days drift by with blissful disregard for the ticking clock. Here, it's all about lazy days in the sun, soul-restoring coastal walks, and tasty home-cooking in traditional little restaurants.
Sitting near Tenerife's west coast, this is an unspoilt area that's been pretty much missed off the tourism list, so if you've come to Tenerife for its lively nightlife, then this won't be your cup of tea. But if low-key charm is high on your list of priorities, this is the place. Lie back and relax on the nearby beach – one of the isle's best and listen to the soothing sound of the soft surf washing the sands.
Spectacular vistas are on tap here too, with views stretching out over the sparkling Atlantic Ocean as far as the island of La Gomera. Take a gentle stroll along the coastline and you'll see the views at their shining best – just don't forget to take your camera. There's a liberal sprinkling of shops, with supermarkets for all the necessities plus some pretty souvenir shops and don't miss the hustle and bustle of the local produce market held on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. You'll also come across plenty of restaurants where you can tuck into traditional island as well as international food.
If you want to pick up the pace, locally there's tennis, golf, fishing and water parks, plus the bustling resorts of Los Gigantes and Playa De Las Americas. Or jump aboard a leisurely ferry ride to the neighbouring islands of Gran Canaria and La Gomera for a delightful day out to remember.
Holidays in Los Gigantes mean
glittering sands and sparkling sea. Breathtaking beauty and brilliant
sunshine. When you get to Los Gigantes, you'll realise how this tranquil
town got its name. There's no looming high rise hotels here – instead,
dramatic cliffs, or 'The Giants', are the backdrop to the whitewashed
hotels that nestle beneath them. A truly stunning setting. The unique
beach of black volcanic sand is skirted by beachside bars. And the modern
marina offers everything from diving to dinner.
Playa de la Arena is symbolised by plunging cliffs that'll take your breath away, a spotless sweep of sprawl-on-me sand and some of the best tapas around. Compared with Playa De Las Americas, this place drifts along in a peaceful slumber, but that's where the appeal lies. It's pretty, it's relaxing and it's ideal if you're looking to chill out in the sun.
Why not take a shopping trip with a difference? The Wednesday farmer's market at Playa San Juan sells a wealth of local produce, while the Monday market at Alcala is the place to go for African crafts.
Playa Paraiso is a bit of a cheeky name for this resort because the beach really isn't much – a small rocky patch of coast. But they've made up for it with the super saltwater lido, the centre of resort life. For water sports and sand, head off to Playa De Las Americas and Los Cristianos courtesy of public buses.
Puerto de Santiago is one of those resorts you either use to come home to after a day out or where you settle in for a sun tan. On Tenerife's quieter west coast, it's snuggled between Los Gigantes and Playa De La Arena. Famed for its natural beauty and popular for its relative calm, this coastal cluster of resorts is only a short drive away from the bright lights and loud beats of Playa De Las Americas.
San
Miguel de Abona holidays will change your mind about Tenerife. The
centre of the southern region that shares its name, San Miguel de Abona is
one of the island's oldest towns. Narrow streets, classic Canarian styles
and a beautiful eighteenth century church.
The knights of Castillo San Miguel stage
weekly jousts which start with sword fighting and spear-throwing and end
in a medley of music and medieval feasting.
San Miguel de Abona's evenings revolve
around eating out. There is plenty to do and discover such as local
fishing villages, traditional markets with an abundance of fresh produce,
unspoilt country walks, hiking and picnicing, as well as windsurfing,
countless watersports, the golf courses of Golf del Sur and
Amarilla Golf, horse riding, carnivals - even rally car racing in the
mountains during September. If you're a fan of golf, holidays to Amarilla Golf are the stuff of dreams. The course here's a championship gem, sandwiched between sparkling ocean rollers and majestic Mount Teide. Picture yourself, teeing off in a sensational setting like that, Tenerife's trademark sunshine lighting up the scene. Look out for the 5th hole. Here, the sea becomes a fairway, making it necessary to cross it in order to reach the green. There's a handful of shops, bars and restaurants in the resort but for more choice head for Los Cristianos. It's just a ten minute drive away and has gorgeous golden beaches thrown into the mix |
