Tenerife
is the largest island of the archipelago. There are most varied
landscapes: a mountain range with the mighty volcanic crater Cañadas
del Teide, with a diameter of 20 kilometers, and the 3,718 meters high
Teide in its centre.
Tenerife has a great
variety of micro-climates in a very small geographic area and provides
interest for many different types of tourist, not just those looking for
beaches but also others that enjoy hiking, climbing, paragliding, cycling,
photography or any other outdoor pursuit that benefits from the wonderful
climate and diversity of topography and landscape available to visitors.
The weather in
Tenerife is usually hot and sunny, ideal for those lazy days on the beach
relaxing and taking occasional cooling dips in the sea. For the more
energetic there are ball games, surfing, beach volleyball and many other
games. While playing we move around exposing each and every part of our
bodies getting a nice all-over suntan rather than bronzed front and rear
with white side panels. Walking along the lesser populated stretches of
the beautiful coastlines provides gentle exercise with interesting little
rock pools to explore.
Tenerife has as much diversity of
climate and landscape as a much larger country and is often referred to as
a mini-continent. The northern coast of Tenerife is bordered by steep
cliffs, but the southern part of the island slopes down to one of the few
regions of level coastal plain in the volcanic islands of the archipelago.
Accordingly, Tenerife is a paradise for tourists and makes an idyllic
holiday destination. The south of the Island, particularly Playa de las
Americas,
is world famous for its nightlife scene.
