The purpose of this web site is not to sell you a holiday, or to give a glossy Tour Operators view of Tenerife, but instead we do hope to be able to provide you with the real life objective
experiences of people who have visited the resorts, hotels and attractions that the island has to offer. If you find any information incorrect please not not hesitate to contact me.
This site is non profit making, and its success or failure, relies on feedback from its visitors. The Canary Islands are a group of seven major islands and six smaller ones in the Atlantic Ocean, lying between 60 - 190 miles off the north western coast of Africa. |
Originally the Canaries were
only a winter sun destination, but the combination of warm sunshine and fantastic modern holiday development, has put the islands on the map 12 months of the year.
The island is dominated by the giant snow capped volcano Mount Teide, which at 3,700m high is Spain's highest peak. This will be the first sight you see when flying in, and it never ceases to take your breath away!
Mount Teide effectively splits the island in two. The cooler northern part is a lush tropical paradise with banana plantations and palm trees. Here, you will have a number of more cloudy days, and perhaps even a few rain days. In contrast the south of the island is hot and dry with almost a desert like landscape.
Flights from the UK take around 4.1/2 hours and depart from all major airports.
