A flight to Tenerife takes you to the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, once home to the brave and feared Guanches. Explore Tenerife’s volcanic landscape in Teide National Park and visit the parrots and penguins at Loro Parque.
Explore Tenerife’s mysterious past at Güímar Pyramids with its ancient structures, reed boats and possible links to other ancient civilisations. Mix with locals in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, winding your way from the seafront to the Plaza de la Candelaria.
For panoramic views of Tenerife take the cable-car to the top of Mount Teide or escape to the white sands of Playa de las Teresitas. Or go windsurfing at El Medano and play golf near Playa de las Américas.
The people of Tenerife love their fish, served sancochado (in a stew) or with mojo (sauce) with cilantro (coriander) or picante (spicy). Sample some of the local cheeses with a distinctive smoky flavour and enjoy them with some of Tenerife’s wines from Abona whites to Tacoronte Acentejo reds.
