The largest of the Canary lslands, Tenerife is undoubtedly the most spectacular. With lush, green landscapes in the North to the beach resorts of the South, all guarded by the spectacular Mount Teide. Santa Cruz is the capital, Puerto de la Cruz is in the North and Costa Adeje is in the South. Tenerife's year round warm climate promotes relaxation and stimulation. All in all, the perfect place to take a break.
The most important excursion to make is to Mount Teide - take the cable car to the peak of this amazing volcano. Small villages such as Garachico and La Laguna ooze charm and warmth and don't miss the spectacular carnival in Santa Cruz, a feast of colour for the eyes where non-stop entertainment awaits you.

History of Tenerife

The Canary Islands were first discovered by ancient Greek and Roman seafarers, yet it was not until the early 1400s that anyone made a serious attempt to conquer the Canaries.

The islands were named Canaria (Latin canis, dog) because of the descriptions of the large numbers of wild dogs roaming the islands, first reported by the Roman scholar Pliny
