Tenerife in a nutshell
Although the largest of the Canary Islands has a reputation as a destination for beach lovers, it would be a shame to view it solely as an island of beaches, as Tenerife is a paradise not only for lovers of the sea and the ocean, but above all for lovers of beautiful nature and mountain hiking. After all, it is here that Spain’s highest mountain, the 3,718-metre-high Pico del Teide, is situated.
The cheapest accommodation in Tenerife
In short, there’s something for everyone on the island – whether you’re looking for a peaceful beach holiday, active hiking, colonial history or city life. Thanks to its consistently favourable climate, Tenerife is also a great destination to visit all year round.
