Tenerife

Sand that shines in the sun, intensively green palm trees, the snow-capped peak of the Teide volcano, colourful parrots in Loro Park – these are the icons of Tenerife, the promised land of tourists from all over the world, where holidays last all year round. In the land of perpetual fiesta there is always time for fun and relaxation, and the unique insular climate allows you to take full advantage of the attractions of the Island of Eternal Spring.

Incredibly diverse in landscapes and climate, it has two clearly different parts of which are divided by a mountain range: warmer and sunnier south with sandy beaches and a cooler north with lush tropical vegetation, banana plantations and natural beaches with black and gray sands. The main tourist destination of north of Tenerife is Puerto de la Cruz.
