Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, close to the coast of Africa. Its location provides it with extraordinary weather conditions: Tenerife is a land of eternal spring, with average temperatures of 20 degrees in winter and 25 in the summer. The island's capital is Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The island offers the visitor an endless variety of ecosystems, microclimates and scenery. Black-sand coves in the north and long golden beaches in the south; volcanic areas; enchanting walks; abrupt ravines; and a number of nature reserves. All these are there to be enjoyed through our contact with nature. One of the most impressive natural features is the volcano El Teide. At 3,718 metres, it is the highest point in Spain, the centrepiece of a major National Park and a privileged location for observing the firmament.

The island inspires adventure and all sorts of sport: trekking, sailing, surfing, horse-riding, paragliding and hang-gliding,the possibilities are endless.

All this is supported by modern facilities that enable you to enjoy the island's special natural charm. Tenerife also hosts an array of events throughout the year: theatre, the plastic arts, photography and, for lovers of classical music, the unmissable chance to attend performances of the renowned Tenerife Symphony Orchestra.

The island's gastronomy is a further incentive. Tenerife has succeeded in retaining its most traditional recipes, while remaining open to new dishes, which explains why you may often find the most typical restaurants next to modern ones, offering the most contemporary cuisine. Delicious fish and seafood, tasty cheeses, excellent wines, honey and the traditional cereal gofio, all play a part in guaranteeing the richness of their dish.

Playa de las Americas : Playa de Las Americas is the most famous tourist area, and so this is where you will find plenty of small beaches, protected by long breakwaters to stop the made up sand banks being washed away. Being an area with a large number of tourists, always count on meeting a considerable crowd on the beaches. The great thing about this area is that all beaches are just a footstep away from each other. This is the place to practise all kinds of water sports and enjoy lovely scenery.

Lago Martiánez Puerto de la Cruz The public complex of Costa Martiánez, pride of Puerto de la Cruz, is one of the most admired examples of coastal transformation.

A reputable technical team, headed by the well-known artist born in Lanzarote César Manrique, created this exceptional piece of work adapted to the traditional Canary architecture and complemented it with original sculptures and some vegetable elements from the autochthonous flora. Its artificial pond, consisting of 27.000 m3 of sea water, highlights the rest of the pools, four for adults and three for children use, all of them show an original layout and beauty.

Tenerife Culture :

Tenerife combines tradition and modernity in all its cultural manifestations. It has continued the tradition of some unique and popular celebrations, such as the numerous fiestas and romerías, which take place every year. It has also preserved arts and crafts in the same way, in the fields of basket-making, embroidery, ceramics and others.

Traditional sports, such as lucha canaria (Canarian wrestling), juego del palo (a stick-based fighting game), or salto del pastor (which involves pole-vaulting down and across steep ravines), are a good example of the pride with which the islanders have preserved their traditions.
