Tenerife is known as 'the Canary with everything' and that helps to explain why holidays to Tenerife are so popular. Whether you're looking for a summer or winter holiday to Tenerife a good time is guaranteed for all. Tenerife is great for kids with its water parks and amusements whilst adults will enjoy the island's varied resorts and fabulous scenery.

 

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.'

With sun-baked sandy beaches and lively bars and nightclubs, the south coast of Tenerife feels a million miles away from the lush banana plantations and cosmopolitan towns of the north of the island. In fact, Tenerife is only 90 kilometres from north to south, but majestic Mount Teide cuts the island into two very distinct zones, giving Tenerife two very different characters. Step away from the holiday resorts and Tenerife's Spanish heritage reveals itself in sleepy whitewashed plazas and tiny Spanish tapas bars, in fun-loving fiestas and elegant colonial buildings.

Tenerife is dominated by the mountains that divide the island into the south and north. At just over 12,000 feet, the volcanic Mount Teide, in Las Canadas National Park, is the highest mountain in Spain and has a cable car which runs almost to the top.

 

Tenerife beaches Whether it's bustling beaches with plenty of watersports, or peaceful retreats where you can relax with a good book, there's something for everyone. Playa de las Americas has three dark sandy beaches, and three man-made ones, all with crystal clear seas that are perfect for watersports. Purpose-built in the 1960's, it's packed with bars, restaurants and clubs. In contrast, Los Gigantes is a fairly secluded spot.  Here you'll find black sand and clear waters, perfect for paddling and snorkelling. Up on the lush northern coast, Puerto de la Cruz is a beach resort that's high on charm. This is where the first holidaymakers came, along with today's tourists who still head for the three beaches along the rocky coastline. For sand-free sunbathing, head to the lovely Lido Martianez, where saltwater lagoons are surrounded by terraces and dotted with lava rock islands.

Eating out in Tenerife The amount of restaurants offering international cuisine means it can be harder to find some of the real Spanish eateries. But if you're keen to track down where the locals eat, keep your eyes peeled for some of the 'Guachinches'. These little places are dotted along the roads of Tacoronte, Acentejo and surrounding la Laguna. On the simple menus you'll find fresh caught seafood dishes like, samu. This popular meal is baked fish on a bed of salt, with a small jacket potato and mojo, a spicy garlic sauce. Other tasty treats include chunky casseroles, thick soups and meaty pork dishes. If you prefer something a tad more global, you're in good hands. A huge amount of restaurants offer international cuisine, like Indian, Chinese and Lebanese. Of course, a large portion of the island caters for those who like nothing more than the good ol' taste of England.

Night life on Tenerife When it comes to lively nights abroad, Ibiza tends to hog the limelight. But Tenerife has got enough bars and clubs to give the party isle a run for its money. The hedonistic Playa de las Americas is packed full of 24 hour party people dancing to the hottest djs spinning the latest sounds. The list of superstars who've manned the decks read like a who's who of clubland. From the good times of Danny Rampling to the fierce thump of Carl Cox, it's not just Ibiza that draws the big names. Just as popular but not as wild, Puerto de la Cruz also has its own fair share of pubs, clubs and restaurants. For something a bit different, don your tuxedo and indulge your James Bond fantasies at Casino Taoro, one of Europe's most luxurious casinos. In contrast to the party atmosphere, Los Cristianos is an altogether calmer affair. It's out with all night foam parties and in with cosmopolitan pavement cafes and harbour side restaurants.

Shopping on Tenerife Everyone loves a bargain, so Tenerife is a shopaholic's dream come true. Unlike the eye-watering prices of the UK, this place has tax-free shopping, so you can afford to go wild in the aisles and pick up perfumes and spirits at rock-bottom prices. The areas around Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz are chock full of department stores and shops, offering everything from cheap clothes to mobile phones at huge discounts. For something a tad more traditional, go for the smaller village shops where you can pick up some of the local crafts. Look out for some of Tenerife's unusual pottery, which is made without a potter's wheel and decorated with bold, tribal designs. Of course it's not only shops where you can pick up souvenirs. You're bound to stumble across a craft fair, so take the time to browse the selection of wickerwork baskets and knick-knacks.

 

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.
