Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. Located off the coast of Africa, the Canary Islands are one of Spain's autonomous regions, surrounded by beautiful seas and blessed with warm weather all year round

With two principal areas - the north and the south of the island, Tenerife has plenty of contrasts in the landscape, offering numerous opportunities for things to do. The north of the island has small bays, relaxing natural pools and stunning cliff scenery. The south, around the towns of Adeje and Arona are the main beaches, with volcanic sand and rock to relax on, no matter what month it is.

Mounte Teide is the dormant volcano on the island. It last erupted in 1798 and it is the powerhouse behind some of the island's stunning scenery. It can be found in Teide National Park, easily accessible by car or on an organised day trip. Nature lovers will also enjoy visiting the Corona Forestal Natural Park and don't forget to take in the sea views - each one different in its own way thanks to the many beautiful sites found on the island.

If having the opportunity to try local food is high on your must-have list, look no further than Tenerife with its Spanish, African and Latin American food influences. Tickle your tastebuds with papas arrugadas (literally wrinkled potatoes!) a dish made of potatoes cover in either a green or spicy sauce. See how much heat you can handle with the two sauces to choose from! Treat yourself to plátano frito or fried banana, another local favourite.
