Island Overview
Click for larger image
Tenerife is the largest and most varied of the 7 Canary islands, often called the Fortune Isles because of their all-year-round spring-like climate. Here, temperatures are high, breezes are balmy and the sun is strong enough to give you tan even when the sky is overcast.

The south of Tenerife looks very clearly what it is- a volcanic island with a rugged, arid landscape and a coastline fringed with black and golden sand. Here, lively beach resorts offer a host of sporting activities and entertainment.

The humid north however, has more exotic surroundings with lush valleys planted with bananas and rich tropical flowers.

At the centre of the island there is the magnificent crater of Las Canadas where massive Mount Teide rises, more than 12,000 feet above sea level.

This is a bountiful island with something for everyone.
