Volcanic peaks, black-sand beaches and mild weather all year off the coast of Africa. The Canary Islands are Spain with an Atlantic twist, and each island has a landscape of its own.
Tenerife can be affordable for food and drink if you choose ordinary cafés and restaurants rather than beachfront terraces. In Puerto de la Cruz, neighbourhood lunches and supermarket shopping offer ways to keep costs down, while Costa Adeje’s seafront restaurants and hotels generally call for a larger allowance. Paid attractions can change a day’s total […]
Choose ordinary January weeks after Epiphany for a winter-sun holiday with less festive demand pressure. Tenerife suits coastal sightseeing and outdoor afternoons better than a trip that needs dependable beach heat every day. Costa Adeje is a sensible sunshine-first base, while swimming and outings into Teide’s high mountains need flexibility. In this guide Is January […]
Choose Costa Adeje for a beach-focused resort stay, Playa de las Américas for nightlife, Los Cristianos for a harbour-side beach base or Puerto de la Cruz for northern town life. For a first visit, the best choice depends on what you want to walk out to each day, not a single island-wide ranking. Your airport […]
Tenerife is known for Listán Negro reds, Listán Blanco whites and sweet Malvasía. Start with the red or white for a meal, then consider a small sweet wine afterwards. Dorada is the island’s familiar beer, while honey rum belongs to the wider Canary Islands drinking tradition. The grape name helps you choose a flavour; the […]
A relaxed meal in Costa Adeje can revolve around a pan of paella at El Tejado, salt-baked fish beside Playa del Duque or croquettes by the sand at La Enramada. Choose by what you want to eat and where you want to sit, rather than treating the resort coast as one restaurant district. These six […]
Choose ordinary January weeks after Epiphany for mild coastal days and sightseeing in Tenerife. You trade the festive accommodation rush for continuing winter-sun demand, not an empty or reliably cheap island. Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos suit a sunshine-first stay, while Puerto de la Cruz offers a north-coast town base. December to February works better […]
A morning at Las Vistas can end as soon as sand play loses its appeal, while Siam Park asks for a much bigger share of the day. Choose your Tenerife outings around what your children enjoy and how long they want to stay, rather than trying to fit the island’s largest attractions into every visit. […]
A beer order in Tenerife can mean a quick drink at a café counter or something to choose alongside dinner. Start with the names on offer: Dorada Pilsen, Dorada Especial Original, Agüita La Picona and Ranilla Summer. The two Dorada variants differ in strength, while the craft choices give you other recipes to explore. Glass […]
Tipping in Tenerife is voluntary, and leaving nothing is not rude. A tip is a thank-you for good service, not an extra payment you owe whenever you eat out, take a taxi or ask hotel staff for help. Choose according to the service you received and what you are comfortable giving. Restaurant and taxi customs […]
El Cedro’s mist-catching laurel forest, Hermigua’s valley and the carved church portal in San Sebastián give you three distinct reasons to cross from Tenerife to La Gomera. An optional stop adds the volcanic pinnacle of Roque de Agando. This is a full-day excursion from Los Cristianos ferry terminal and back, with travel from your accommodation […]
TITSA buses connect Tenerife’s main towns, resorts, beaches and both airports. The tram serves the urban corridor between Santa Cruz and La Laguna. Match the line number with the destination display before boarding, especially at airport stops and on late returns, when departures may use a different stop or finish short of the usual terminus. […]
Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival brings together parades, music and fancy dress, with spectators lining procession routes and costumed visitors joining the dancing in the squares. Choose the street celebrations if you want to take part rather than sit through a stage show. Their usual span runs from the opening Friday before Lent to the […]
