Tenerife is one of the largest of the main Canary Islands , Gran Canaria, Fuertevenutra and Lanzarote. Tenerife has two main areas which are used by tourists, Tenerife South and Tenerife North.

Each area has an airport, the North is called the North Rodeos airport and the more popular for international flights is the Reina Sofia airport in the South.
Tenerife is of course a volcanic island with mainly black sands and very warm weather all year round. Tenerife is famous for its volcano called Mount Teide which stands at over 3,000 m above sea level.

Tenerife South is the most popular with tourists with the North having more rainfall during the Winter months, however of course in the North you will also find some of the most beautiful unspoilt restaurants and scenary. Most tourists stay in the south of Tenerife and rarely venture to the north or even the capital Santa Cruz.

This gives many Tourists the impression of over developed tourist resorts and a sparse environment. Taking an excursion to either the capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del a Cruz or Mount Teide will show tourists a very different beautiful side to Tenerife. There are flowers and fauna in Tenerife which simply do not grow anywhere else in the world. The new Tenerife symphony hall is also worth visting.
Starting every February and lasting for a month is Carnival time, many people do not realise that in February the second largest carnival in the world second only to the Rio carnival is held in Santa Cruz.

For those wanting something a bit different Tenerife is now offering Rural Tourism through a network of small family run lodgings.
