Tenerife in a nutshell
Although the largest of the Canary Islands has a reputation as a destination for beach-goers, 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 those who appreciate beautiful nature and hill walking. 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
Simply put, there’s something for everyone on the island – lovers of peaceful beach holidays, active hiking, colonial history and city life. Thanks to its consistently pleasant climate, Tenerife is also a great destination to visit all year round.
