Tenerife, an island to enjoy
3,000 hours of light, which illuminates everything it touches with a smile. Four hundred kilometers of coast full of postcard beaches, ideal to recover your strength and live the seaside life to the full. Forty-three protected natural spaces which cover half the Island's territory. Tenerife is one of the most complete destinations anywhere in the world. An island whose 2034 square kilometers have as many options for enjoyment as an entire continent. Except that here, wherever on the island you may be, it is all less than an hour away. A true luxury.
Tenerife is the ideal place for a complete and different holiday at any time of year. With exceptional weather and an exuberant natural environment, full of contrasting landscapes, the island has modern, top-class and comfortable hotels and self-catering accommodation that put it among the top holiday destinations in Europe. On the other hand, the modern Conference and Convention Centres, in both the north, the south of the island and in Santa Cruz, more than meet the demanding requirements of conference and incentive travel tourism.
For those who prefer a more direct contact with nature, the rural tourism accommodation and camp sites provided another way of discovering the island.
The Tenerife Island Cabildo has created a Tourist Accessibility Guide for people with impaired mobility, offering a data base that covers everything from hotels to public buildings.
Culture loving visitors have a long list of both private and public art galleries and museums at their disposition: history, archaeology, anthropology, ethnography, science, crafts, fine arts and natural sciences. On the musical front, every year, there is an opera season and a "zarzuela" - light opera - season, plus a musical event of the first order, the Canary Island Music Festival, held at the beginning of the year, with the world's leading soloists and symphony orchestras as the guest performers.
The Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, acclaimed as one of the best in Spain by the critics, organises a regular season of concerts from early October, through until the end of May. Concerning popular festivities, the pilgrimages are full of the colour of Tenerife folklore, while the festivities of Corpus Christi and Easter are impregnated with pure religious tradition. But, the most cosmopolitan and popular fiesta is undoubtedly the Carnival, which has been declared of International Tourist Interest.
It is easy to enjoy yourself in Tenerife, both by day and by night and whatever your age. The range of leisure activities covers scientific and natural interests, with visits to the Botanical Gardens and Loro Parque in the north, or the colony of pilot whales in the waters of the south, to the fun of Aqualand Costa Adeje water park and other attractions, including sporting activities like trekking, with an extensive network of sign-posted trails. The nights of Tenerife are especially pleasant, thanks to the mild climate. Casinos to try your luck in an elegant setting like the Puerto de la Cruz Casino, restaurants, night clubs with international shows, discotheques and pubs with live music, and these are just some of the options available to visitors each night.
