We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is rapidly decreasing during November, falling from 24% to 6% over the course of the month.

For reference, on September 20, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 46% of the time, while on January 13, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

  • Gran Canaria Airport (GCLP, 90%, 12 mi, south, 0 ft elevation change)
  • Tenerife South Airport (GCTS, 6%, 71 mi, west, 131 ft elevation change)
  • Fuerteventura Airport (GCFV, 3. 8%, 97 mi, east, 7 ft elevation change)

What is the Best Time to Visit Canary Islands?

The answer given to “what is the best time to visit Canary Islands” depends on the reason and time of your visit. If you visit them to escape from the winter back home, surfing, sunbathing or hiking, there are specific times of the year for each of these occasions. Every month of the year is the best for specific reasons.

 

The Weather in Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are popular destinations in Europe, thanks to their unique climate. In contrast to other travel destinations, you have a high season in both winter and summer; winter is for mature visitors escaping from the cold weather, while summer is for family holidays.

 

Summer in Canary Islands

It falls between June and September, witnessing the warmest climate on the Islands. Luckily, the temperatures are bearable due to the ocean’s cooling effect. For this reason, families make the most of the warm temperatures to visit the Canary Islands and enjoy the white sand beaches

And, in case you loved risky activities, you can also go scuba diving at the same time you enjoy the sea landscapes. Even more: you can take up surf sports for beginners in Tenerife. 

Also, staying healthy is easy if you spend your holidays in Canary Islands: there are multiple places to go hiking. 

Winter in Canary Islands

Winter is really special in the islands. In that season, whereas most Spain is facing a hard and cold winter, weather in Canary Islands is not so cold and extreme.

Winter starts in November and finishes in March, being January the coldest month. But, attention: temperatures in Tenerife go as high as 21ºC even in the coldest month. If you want to live one of the warmest winters in the world, your will definitely love Canary Islands.  

Another singularity in Canarias is the fact that, since there are different islands in the archipelago, you can experience different temperatures and climates in the winter. 

There are islands which are warmer and cosy than others, such as Fuerteventura, whose average temperature is 18 degrees in winter.  

When is the High Season in the Canary Islands?

By far the best time to visit and enjoy the Canary Islands is from April to September. It welcomes more people as families flock to the islands to bask in the white sands. However, the unique weather on the Islands makes both winter and summer good periods to visit them.

In the winter, the islands welcome the elderly who are escaping from the cold back home. It might be the coldest months on the Islands, but warm enough to allow to stroll on the beach.

 

High Season in Tenerife

As the largest among the Canary Islands, Tenerife welcomes visitors throughout the year. June, July and August witness the highest number of visitors, with food, festivals and fanfare renting the air. The week before Easter is the busiest one during summer as Europeans jet in to enjoy the cool weather.

During winter, the southern part of the island is habitable compared to the north. The raging winds of the Atlantic make Northern Tenerife colder, although it doesn’t prevent tourists from coming.

 

When is the Low Season in the Canary Islands?

Winter is generally slow in numbers and buzz, except around Christmas and New Year. There is little activity from mid-January to early March, although the beach still has elderly people enjoying the “Swallows.”

Low Season in Tenerife

The average temperature is 20’s, which is still conducive, especially for tourists from Europe. Numbers drastically drop in winter, with February and March as the worst hit. However, bars and hotels in Tenerife do not close.

Where to Stay in Tenerife

Tenerife is at the center of all tourist activities. Several hotels on the island are close to the shoreline, with breath-taking views of the Atlantic Ocean and easy access to the white-sand beaches.

Catalonia Las Vegas

Catalonia Las Vegas hotel is located off the beach overlooking Martinez Lake at the center of Puerto de la Cruz. Visitors have a beautiful view of Teide Mountain.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The garden area has the beauty of a wonderful Canary Island patio. If you visit Tenerife during the winter or summer, the hotel offers customized amenities to make your stay enjoyable. In case you want to tour the island, there is a bus stop and a taxi bay near the hotel for easy mobility.

The Canary Island is a shelter in winter for most Europeans. Visitors come to enjoy the temperate climate and white sand beaches. Welcome to the Canary Islands all year long and enjoy the exquisite Spanish hospitality.

The Canary Islands are one of the top holiday destinations in Europe during the colder months thanks to the super climate here. The temperature rarely drops below 17 Celsius in winter and spring. You can expect warm temperatures whenever you visit these beautiful volcanic islands. Some of the best beaches in Spain are spread across the 7 islands.

There are 7 main islands that form the Canaries and some smaller islets. Some 1350 miles away are 4 other Spanish Islands which lie in the Mediterranean Sea. The focus of this guide is to look at the the hottest Canary Island that attracts the most tourism during the busier months.

Hottest Canary Island in January

January is one of the most popular months for tourism in the Canary Islands. There are plenty of warm temperatures still on offer wherever you go. Many choose to flock here to spend Christmas and the New Years festivities away from the colder climes up north.

January is the coldest month but the temperature is unlikely to drop much below 17 Celsius. There is still plenty of rainfall around but a significant decrease from December.

The hottest average temperature is 18 Celsius for both Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria. Tenerife and Lanzarote both drop to 17 Celsius.

Warmest in January – Gran Canaria
There is little to choose between Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. Both have the same outside and sea temperature. There is a touch more rainfall in Gran Canaria but not much more.

Our preference is for Gran Canaria. The popular resorts of Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés will likely be much busier at the beginning of the year.

Which Of The Canary Islands Has The Warmest Weather In February?

The warmest Canary Island in February is another 3-way tie as the temperatures remain on the cooler side. Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote all reach 18 Celsius which is the mean daytime temperature now across the islands.

Tenerife remains at 17 Celsius during this month but is still the place to be in February. The Sea temperature is also very similar across all the islands with an average of 18 Celsius.

Tenerife tends to see more rainfall in February. More than the other islands with Fuerteventura receiving the least rain.

Warmest Of The Canaries In February – Fuerteventura
Preference for February is Fuerteventura despite there being little between the other islands. There is less rainfall in February than anywhere else.

This beautiful island is also approaching the windy season. Fuerteventura is popular for windsurfing and other board activities. The warm air coming from the Sahara Desert is enough to get our vote.

How About The Hottest Canary Island in March?

March is the start of spring when the temperature is beginning to increase. This month is like February in many ways. Tenerife tends to get plenty of rain as the other islands are seeing a significant decrease.

The average monthly temperature in Tenerife and Fuerteventura is now 18 Celisus. Lanzarote and Gran Canaria are now warming to 19 Celsius. The Sea temperature is also increasing to 19 Celsius on average. Some of the other islands are remaining at 18 Celsius.

Warmest Canary Island in March – Gran Canaria
The vote goes to Gran Canaria for March due to the fact that the Sea temperature is warmer than Lanzarote. The levels of rainfall and the outdoor temperature are identical between the two. Both will be warm whichever you decide to visit.

Best Canary Island For Families.
Gran Canaria is one of the best islands for families to spend their holiday. This is especially true of resorts such as Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria which is one of the top places for family fun. In all honesty, there is little to choose between this island and Tenerife when it comes to a great holiday.nsectetur adipiscing elit.

Warmest in October – Tenerife
There is no escaping the rain in October unless you are fortunate. The sea temperature in Gran Canaria will be warmer than the eastern islands but not as warm as Tenerife.

Hottest Canary Island in December – Fuerteventura

The hottest Canary Island in December is close between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Both islands close to the African mainland enjoy warmer weather during this month. Gran Canaria can be as warm but usually sees around double the rainfall . The only thing separating the two islands is the sea temperature and amount of rain that arrives.

Coolest Canary Island in December

The coolest of the four main islands is Tenerife in December by some distance. The average daily temperature during this month is 17 Celsius. The high temperature now is 20 Celsius with a low of 14 Celsius which is on the chilly side. Like the other islands, Tenerife sees 6 hours of sunshine each day.

Tenerife also sees quite a bit more rainfall than any of the other three islands. December usually sees around 7 days of rain with high precipitation levels. The advantage here as it is with Gran Canaria is that the sea is a warm 21 Celsius. This is usually the case at the start of the month with the sea cooling around Christmas time.

What is the best time to visit Canary Islands?

March-May and September-November is the best time to visit the Canary Islands. During these months, the crowd is less, and you can explore the places better. Also, the best accommodation costs are cheaper. Summer months of June-August and winter months of December-February are generally the peak seasons in Canary Island when the places are filled with tourists from all over the world. The winters in the Canary Islands has an average temperature of 20 – 23°C and the summer months have temperatures usually surrounding 26.5°C. Canary Island is typically hot all year round and hence, visiting the place during the shoulder months of March-May and September-November is the best way to experience the beauty of the place, devoid of the crowd. October is one of the wettest months in the Canaries with around 15-18 days of precipitation; hence the low season in terms of tourists in the places. However, you can visit the Canaries even during this month to keep off from crowds which are generally overflowing in the peak months.

      The last month of autumn is not the best time to relax on the sea. Although there are countries in the world where it is warm and sunny at this time. One such country is Spain and its islands. The most distant of them are the Canaries, about which the story will go today. Let us dwell in more detail on what the weather is expected to be in Tenerife in November 2020, what will be the temperature of the water in the ocean off the coast of the island and whether it is worth flying so far on vacation this month. So let’s get started.

      Tenerife and the Canary Islands are fairly far from mainland Spain. Geographically, the Canaries are much closer to Africa and their shores are washed by the Atlantic Ocean. Rest here is interesting not only from the point of view of a beach holiday, but also as an excursion. There are many mountains on the island, which were formed from the eruptions of volcanoes. Here in many places there is a “black” coast, which became so in color all because of the same volcanoes. The nature of the island is magnificent, and there are some species of birds and animals that can not be found anywhere else. And the simple life of the locals is very different from the life that flows in the European part of Spain.

      If you decide to visit Tenerife for the sea and beaches, then November is not the right month for this. The proximity of Africa makes itself felt, plus the island is located right in the ocean. This month it is cool here and you can not swim.
      The average air temperature during the day is about +20 degrees Celsius. There are warmer days, but the maximum that can be is +23 and that’s it. But even less than the norm, the air can cool. The winds are changeable and a cool wind can often blow, which will cause the air to cool down to +14 +16 degrees.
      To get to know Tenerife better, check the weather on the island by months.
      Also check if you need a visa for Tenerife if you already have a visa for Spain.

      The same 14-16 degrees of heat are expected at the resort at night. But in the absence of the sun and from across the ocean, it will seem that the temperature is even lower. So it is, and if the thermometers show +15 heat, then it feels like it can be only +8. Which is cold enough.
      Evening walks around the island are only possible in warm clothes. If you are going to go somewhere after sunset, you should dress warmly and do not interfere with a thermos of hot tea with you on the road.

      At the end of autumn, not only the air cools down, but also the waters of the ocean. Although the ocean cools much more slowly. This month, its waters will still be around +22 degrees, but still, few people dare to swim. Often there are high waves on the water, and even in the absence of waves, there is a coolness that frightens tourists, and they do not dare to go into the water.

      For the whole of November there are only 13 sunny days. It’s less than half a month. The rest of the days are cloudy with rain. There are 5-6 completely rainy days, and during this time 80 millimeters of precipitation falls. Of course, this is not much, but since most of the precipitation falls on the last ten days of the month, it can be said that the rainy season begins after the twentieth of November.

      As in Europe and Africa, Tenerife’s days are getting shorter. At the beginning of the month, it lasts 11 hours, and on the last day of November, only 10 hours. Do not forget about cloudy weather, which “takes away” another 1-2 hours from a sunny day.

      Many tourists, leaving in the morning for an excursion to the mountains, come back in the dark. Therefore, you should take a few flashlights in advance, which will illuminate your path. Also put warm clothes in a travel bag – it is noticeably colder in the evening, and snow can lie on the mountains.

      Reviews of tourists about the weather and recreation in November in Tenerife

      George.
      “We visited Tenerife in the middle of November. The weather is overcast, everything is grey. A lot of money was spent on the rest, and I would like to have a normal rest. But they chose the wrong month. So it’s better to come here in the summer.

      Luda.
      “Spain is my second life. I love this country and everything connected with it. But Tenerife is different from the Spain I know. Everything is different here: life, behavior, culture and so on. As for the weather, it is cool in Tenerife at the end of autumn. It often rains and the ocean is stormy. So only excursions are available here, and then for those who are not afraid to get wet and freeze in the mountains.”

      Imagine that you have planned a vacation with children in Tenerife and decided to follow the route of your trip on the map. You move your finger across the countries of Europe, go around the northwestern coast of Africa and stop at the southern borders of Morocco.

      Small dots in the Atlantic Ocean – this is the most exotic and southernmost Spanish resort, the Canary Islands.

      Tenerife resorts can surprise even the most experienced tourist. Eternal spring instead of changing seasons, ocean instead of sea, black sand instead of golden sand – as they say, find 10 differences.

      To save you from unnecessary work, Kidpassage has already found the main differences of a family holiday in Tenerife: find out when it is warmest here and how to spend time with benefit and pleasure.

      Tenerife on the map of Spain

      Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. Located in the Atlantic Ocean, 500 km from the northwestern coast of Africa and 1300 km from mainland Spain. The capital of the island is the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (more often called shortly, Santa Cruz).

      In those latitudes where Tenerife is located, heat is a common occurrence. But this does not apply to the Canary Islands. There are no other seasons in Tenerife other than spring.

      When the winter is cold in Europe, the air temperature in the Canary Islands is +20°C. And instead of the summer heat inherent in the south of Europe, pleasant heat is set on the islands: + 25-27 ° С.

      Holidays with children

      Exotic holiday in Tenerife is an attractive feature, but this is not the only plus of the island.

      In favor of a holiday in Tenerife with children is the fact that the weather here resembles a warm late spring. It’s perfect for those who can’t stand the heat.

      Another advantage of Tenerife for children is the long beach season, which peaks in September-October. True, until autumn the water in the Atlantic Ocean is rather cool, and therefore it is better to relax in the resorts of mainland Spain in the summer.

      And here is another feature of Tenerife that may seem both a plus and a minus. It is boring to relax here with a child, sitting in one place: in order to gain impressions, you need to travel around the island. But if you decide on such sorties, pleasant discoveries await you.

      When it comes to holidays with a baby or a toddler who is too early to go on excursions, it is enough to choose a family hotel and enjoy comfort and tranquility.

      One of the few disadvantages of the island is its remoteness. Traveling in Tenerife takes at least 7-10 hours.

      When is the best time to go

      There are two answers to the question, when is the best time to go to Tenerife, and both are correct. Timing depends on your goals.

      The first answer is from June to October. This is the warmest season in Tenerife, when you can sunbathe and swim. At the same time, summer and autumn on the island are not so hot that it was necessary to refuse trips on excursions.

      The opening of the season in Tenerife falls not even in June-August, but in September: only by this time the ocean has time to warm up well.

      The minus of this period is a huge number of tourists. You need to take care of booking a hotel room a few months before the trip and be prepared for the fact that there will be no free space on the beaches.

      The second answer is at any time. Since there is no cold and bad weather here, you can also climb Mount Teide in winter and visit mountain villages where cave houses are still being built and farming according to the traditions of past centuries.

      In addition, a large-scale carnival takes place in winter: the fun lasts almost a month and overwhelms all the cities of Tenerife. Children take part in a mini-carnival.

      Weather and climate

      The scientific classification of Tenerife’s climate is not as eloquent as its poetic description: The Canaries are called the islands of eternal spring. The average air temperature here is +21°C, slightly warmer in summer and autumn, slightly cooler in winter.

      The area of ​​the island is relatively small, but the climate of the north and south is markedly different.

      The north coast is a little colder and it rains more often. The southern coast is protected by mountains from cold winds and precipitation, so it is warm and sunny there.

      Eternal spring begins to resemble summer in June, when the air temperature rises to +23-24°C. In July-August, the thermometers reach + 25-27 ° C, sometimes it is a little hotter. If you are planning a holiday in Tenerife for the summer, choose June and July because heavy rainfall occurs in August.

      The gentlest sun on the island is in September. At this time, you can spend much more time on the beach than in summer: the air temperature is kept within + 23-25 ​​° C, and the sea is even warmer than in July-August. That is why September is considered the time for the best holiday in Tenerife with children.

      It is still quite warm in October, but it rains from time to time. Usually the rain does not drag on for several days, but pours violently for an hour or two, to again give way to clear weather.

      From November to May, the island again goes into “spring” mode. The temperature drops from +20°С to +16°С in the winter months, then rises again: in March the air warms up to +17-18°С, in April to +19°С, in May to +20-21°С.

      Rains are rare in winter and spring. This is a good time to relax with a baby in Tenerife, although it is unlikely that you will be able to sunbathe and swim in the sea.

      Warm days at any time of the year give way to rather cool nights. As soon as it gets dark in Tenerife, the air temperature drops to +13-14°С in winter and to +17-20°С in summer.

      When going on vacation with a child, be sure to take warm clothes, you will need them for evening walks, for excursions in the northern part of the island and for climbing the Teide volcano.

      A characteristic feature of Tenerife’s climate is the “hello from Africa” ​​that sometimes arrives in the form of dust, sand and rising air temperature. This phenomenon, due to the proximity of the Sahara desert, can cause trouble for tourists. But this happens only a few times a year, lasts 2-4 days and does not always bring discomfort.

      Sea water temperature

      Tenerife’s water temperature changes as little throughout the year as the air temperature. At the same time, unfortunately, most of the time the water remains cold for bathing children – the Canary Current is to blame for this.

      In July-August the water warms up to +22-23°С, and only by September the sea temperature reaches its maximum, +24°С. The warm sea can be caught in October: the temperature is +23°C for almost the entire month.

      The rest of the time the water temperature on the island does not exceed +20°C.

      And what’s more important: among all the resorts in Spain, the warmest sea in October is in the Canary Islands. When the beach season is closed almost everywhere, in Tenerife it is still in full swing.

      Catering

      Hotels in Tenerife use all food concepts, from breakfast only to all inclusive. If you are going to eat at the hotel, ask about the availability of a children’s or diet menu – this is a common service.

      Still, most tourists prefer to dine in restaurants outside of hotels. In Tenerife, you can find cuisine for every taste, of course, both Spanish and local Canarian.

      Among other things, be sure to offer your child Canarian potatoes. A simple potato in a uniform, which was once boiled in sea water, and now – just in very salty, is covered with salt crystals and therefore acquires an inexpressible charm in the eyes of children. There are supermarkets and hypermarkets in all popular resorts. The Spanish chain Mercadona and SuperDino/HiperDino stores, which are found only in the Canary Islands, are mainly represented. The Russian supermarket “Kalinka” operates in Las Americas.

      Fresh vegetables and fruits, fish, cheeses can be bought at farmers’ markets. They work once or twice a week: in Costa Adeja – on Thursdays and Saturdays, in Los Cristianos – on Sundays.

      The best fish market on the south coast is located in Los Cristianos. A food market opens in Puerto de la Cruz on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

      Transport

      Titsa buses, aka guaguas, are the only form of public transport in Tenerife. There are about 200 routes on the island, so you can get to almost anywhere.

      The most popular routes for tourists are 110 and 111 connecting Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje with Santa Cruz, and 101-104 going to the capital from Puerto de la Cruz.

      The fare depends on the distance. For example, a ticket from Costa Adeje to Los Cristianos will cost 2 euros, from Costa Adeje to Santa Cruz – 9.50 euros. Tickets for children cost the same as for adults.

      If you plan to use transport frequently in Tenerife, it makes sense to buy a Bono-Via card. With it, each trip will be significantly cheaper than when buying single tickets. For example, with Bono-Via, the road from Costa Adeje to Santa Cruz will cost 6.25 euros.

      Note that the Bono-Via card is also valid on the Santa Cruz city tram. One-time tickets can be bought from the driver, but the card can only be bought at bus stations and special outlets.

      Buses usually run from 5:30-6:00 to 21:30-22:00. The exact timetable, traffic interval, ticket prices and other useful information are available on the carrier’s website.

      Taxis – white cars with a green board showing the fare – can be found at special stations or called by phone. The average fare is about 1 euro for each kilometer of the way, another 2-2. 50 must be paid for landing.

      Renting a car to get around Tenerife is a smart decision: it is easier to get to non-touristic and amazingly beautiful places by car than by bus.

      Country roads are not loaded, unlike urban ones. Resorts can have problems with traffic and finding parking spaces. There are few free parking lots on the island, they are mostly located near attractions.

      Paid street parking marked with a blue line. You can also use underground parking.

      This is a story about why it is worth deciding on a six-hour flight, why Tenerife is called the “island of eternal spring”, and how to plan your first trip to the Canaries wisely.

      Obstacles on the way

      Tenerife has long been a rosy dream on the list of desirable tourist destinations. There were two reasons for this: price and distance. And if the first can be changed, then the second cannot!

      However, dreams must come true! And when it became clear that the list of typical holiday resorts had been exhausted, I had to look for ways to the “Island of Eternal Spring”, which is how Tenerife is often called for its special climatic conditions, the same weather all year round and the state of nature in this corner of the Earth.

      The price barrier becomes much less if you plan your trip yourself. Tickets are easily purchased on the Internet, housing is also rented. Ryanair operates non-stop flights to Tenerife from Warsaw, which is a big plus when you are flying with two children – eight and three years old. If you choose a good flight time (I mean the time of daytime sleep for children), then such an obstacle as distance can also be minimized to reasonable limits.

      Location

      I chose the accommodation very carefully, taking into account the requirements and wishes of each of our group. Perhaps if we had planned the trip a little earlier, there would have been more options. But the vacation happened almost impromptu in June 2017, so all available hotels on the usual Booking were fully booked.

      Then I turned to Airbnb.com and after a week of studying offers and correspondence with the owners of the apartments, I found the most successful option for our company of six people (four adults and two children – you already know the age of the children).

      This was a two storey bungalow (or villa) within the Palo Blanco complex located in the resort town of Adeje close to the island’s best beaches. The location of the house is good both in relation to the beaches and in relation to the entire infrastructure of the city. And the terraces of the villa (there were two of them) offered gorgeous views of the ocean and mountains.

      Adeje and, accordingly, our villa was separated from the south airport of Tenerife by 20 km. The car was booked in advance via the Internet from Autoreisen. This company was recommended to me in correspondence by the owner of the apartment, saying that he himself used its services more than once. And now I have checked its reliability on personal experience and I can recommend it to you.

      Prices compare favorably with other companies, and we got the booster and car seat for free. Not in vain, apparently, a considerable queue of arriving tourists lined up at the airport, wishing to receive a vehicle booked in advance.

      By the way, everything is organized very conveniently – having received your luggage, you will definitely notice the Rent a car offices in the airport building. Go there with a printed booking confirmation and a credit card. And with a driver’s license, of course)). After you pay for the reserved rental days, you will receive a key and a parking space number, from which you will begin your unforgettable acquaintance with the island of eternal spring.

      Adeje: the golden mean

      You don’t necessarily have to choose Adeje as your resort, but I’ll tell you why I chose it:

      1. The distance from the airport is optimal – within acceptable (from my point of view) ecological proximity. No reminder of planes during the holidays, on the one hand, and a short journey to the destination, on the other.
      2. Convenient sandy beaches with a gentle entrance to the sea are within walking or cycling distance: Fanabe, Torviscas, La Pinta, Troy, El Duc.
      3. Adeje is located in the southwest of the island, close to resorts such as Las Americas and Los Cristianos. Before the trip, I read, and upon arrival I was convinced that the weather conditions here are among the best for a beach holiday. The mountains do not allow thunderclouds to pass from the northern coast of the island, and the ocean is relatively calm, including thanks to the breakwaters, which now and then curb the elements.
      4. Adeje is the golden mean between noisy and crowded Las Americas and some seemingly abandoned and very small Los Cristianos. And in Adeje, the choice of beaches is much richer.

      One of the beaches of Adeje is El Duc.

      Here, in Adeje, there are a lot of cafes, supermarkets, mini markets, city shops and a market near El Duc beach. We lived near the San Eugenio shopping center. Inside it they chose the Mercadona supermarket, where they bought everything they needed. Most of all, Mercadona was remembered for the abundance of seafood. Ready-made foods fill the counters, and nearby, the same items of raw and frozen are offered at 5 cents cheaper)). We did not save 5 cents (to walk, so walk), we preferred ready-made tiger prawns and never regretted it!
      End to the principles of “all inclusive”, “half board” and others like them.

      This was the first beach holiday of my life without prepaid meals. And to tell the truth, I was a little alarmed during the preparation for the trip. After all, on vacation you want to relax, and not to combine the positions of a cook. However, Mercadona was on my side, a myriad of beach and non-beach cafes and restaurants, as well as a well-equipped kitchen of a rented villa. In addition to ready-made tiger prawns, in Mercadona you could buy delicious goat cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables (even sliced ​​and vacuum-packed), pastries and much more for breakfast.

      Lunch was mostly on the way from the beach. Every day, you can accept invitations from various local barkers who politely ask you to taste dishes from the local cuisine and tempt you with various promotions. Seafood soup was the main goal of adults, and chicken soup was in demand among children for lunch. Each cafe cooks differently. Fans of the “sea” soup liked the Intercontinental cafe the most, and its fans constantly asked for chicken soup in the Odisseya cafe. Both of them are located on the beach of La Pinta. The prices are acceptable. Lunch or dinner for a family of 4 cost an average of 35 euros (this is with beer, but we don’t drink much)))

      Conclusion: I liked eating on my own, and the translation of dishes into Russian really lifted my spirits (see photo)

      All dishes with a capital letter – this is such respect for food in the Canary Islands)))

      Places of interest seen with one’s own eyes

      Since we had booked a car for the entire stay on the island, it was decided to use a program of alternating active and passive recreation. That is, today we are traveling tourists, and tomorrow we are locals sprawled (as far as those who are 8 and 3 years old will allow) on the beach.

      So, during the two-week “eternal spring”, the following points are marked in the navigator:

      Loro Parque

      Loro Parque, originally created as a parrot park, has expanded to the scale of a dolphinarium, an aquarium, a huge penguinarium, a place for adults and children to relax for a whole day. And not only children, but also their grandparents saw a lot for the first time: a show of trained parrots, a gorilla in two human heights, a palm forest, orchid plantations … fried cuttlefish in garlic sauce, in the end))) You should definitely come to the park, although to see how the penguin swims.

      How you want to step over the fence and run through the Palm Forest!

      We treated the owners of Loro Parca with a piece of banana (parrot in Spanish is “loro”).

      Siam Park

      Siam Park is big, but there were even longer queues – first to enter, then – to go to the sunbeds and become the happy owner of at least some corner where you can leave the slates for the duration of the slide. A long line awaits you at the approaches to the highest hill Tower of Power, for which, in fact, many people come to Siam. And since the head of our family is an extreme person, he also came here in order to experience a free fall into the abyss and slip past the sharks through a glass tunnel.

      I felt like the wife of a Decembrist, standing in the sun for an hour with a video camera raised in my hand and trying to catch the moment. When the turn of your Decembrist comes up is not clear, since the length of the queue is not visible due to the special design of the slide. Of course, you can agree to “wave your pen when you climb the scaffold”, but there will be so many “waving” to your cowardly companions in front of your hero that you can only hope for the sharpness of your own vision))).

      Here it is, the Tower of Power. “Do you want to ride?” asks this hero of the day. – “I? Not a drop!”

      As a conclusion, I would not go to this water park again. Because of the queues and crowds. And because of the range of slides, which is not for my adrenaline level and not for children (which is the same). But one day you should probably visit. To have an idea of ​​the largest water park and the highest slide in Europe.

      Aqualand

      Aqualand is a water park for mothers and children. Slides of reasonable height and speed, plenty of free sunbeds, no queues. And one of the best dolphin shows in the world! Vacationers in Adeje can walk to the park.

      Dolphins of Aqualand, or rather their tails))

      Teide Volcano and National Park

      Having reached the funicular station by car, I thought that I would just look at it, take a picture and go on. But it was not there! I’m traveling with an extreme! And now I’m already climbing the volcano on the funicular, taking my jacket with me, because it’s only 8 degrees Celsius at the top! On this day, for the first time, I breathed rarefied air, but everything went well)).

      I would not advise children to take further than the funicular station, at least small ones. The climb is heavy and dangerous. Our three-year-old stayed downstairs with her grandparents, and the eight-year-old traveler climbed up like an adult and did not even choke.

      On the outskirts of the Teide.

      The city of Puerto de la Cruz, its beach and Lago Martianez (artificial lakes)

      The city is beautiful, I’m glad I saw it, but parking is very difficult. This is the northern coast of Tenerife, the ocean is completely different here – some kind of harsh and very worried. On the beach and at the bottom of the stones, which, with the speed of the waves, rush to the swimmers. Apparently, due to the fact that the beaches of the northern coast are inconvenient for swimming, artificial lakes Lago Martianez were created – this is a complex of pools with sea water. I don’t think it makes sense to go specially to them, but if you happen to be nearby, it’s a rather pleasant stop for a couple of hours.

      La Arena

      The hill town of Puerto Santiago and its most famous black sand beach, La Arena.

      Black sand beach in Puerto de la Cruz).

      I almost booked accommodation here, so it was doubly interesting to visit this place. The beach is beautiful, the views are charming, but we appreciated our bungalow in Adeje even more. The beach is inconvenient for swimming for the same reasons as the beaches of the north coast. I didn’t even go into the water here. Although not a thin ten, I was afraid that I would blow it))) The son went with dad by the hand, and if it weren’t for dad’s firm grip, I don’t know how we would have caught the child. The element here is dangerous.

      “Now I understand what the ocean is!”

      South coast

      South coast of Tenerife, El Medano town, beach of the same name and La Tejita beach. Here we saw a rather scorched landscape against the backdrop of stunningly beautiful deep blue water. The very strong wind that walks on this coast creates a paradise for surfers, but interferes with bathers. That’s why we didn’t even take our swimsuits out of our bags, but we ate sand a year ahead))) But the kids clung tightly to the brim of the hat!

      Bicycle rides

      Several bike rides along the coast of Adeje, Las Americas and Los Cristianos. It is better to ride early in the morning and in the evening – both the people and the sun are much less at times. A bicycle per day for an adult will cost 9 euros, for a child of 8 years old – 7. 5 euros, and a bicycle seat for a three-year-old – 3 euros. It’s worth the drive, because there’s not so much to get around on foot, but to make sure that our Fañabé beach and our Adeje resort is the best is a must!

      Tenerife reviews: general impressions

      As far as can be judged from the reviews of tourists about Tenerife for 2019, the general impressions of the rest on the island are excellent: unusual volcanic nature, flora and fauna, mild climate, fine sand – yellow, white, gray and even black, warm ocean, comfortable beaches. The weather conditions are so favorable that you can visit the island all year round.

      True, travelers complained about slow internet, and this applies to any part of the island. Perhaps such a policy is aimed at ensuring that people have a little rest from high technologies.

      Reviews of hotels in Tenerife

      Hotels on the island, judging by the responses, are designed for a variety of categories of tourists – there are luxurious five-star hotels, where there are no complaints from vacationers, and two- and three-star hotels, where not bad, but not all so smooth. By the way, we recommend searching for hotels in the Canary Islands on the Roomguru.ru metasearch engine, which searches among several leading booking systems at once and finds the best price.

      According to the reviews of tourists in 2019, in Tenerife, most hotels were highly rated, regardless of the star rating and cost of living. Vacationers appreciated the level of service, the location of the hotel is good in most cases, but at the same time they noted some shortcomings.

      The Iberostar Anthelia 5* hotel in Costa Adeje deserves the best ratings among tourists. The hotel is suitable for families with infants. Large landscaped area, swimming pools, restaurants, mini-club for children and other services, close to two beaches with black and white sand. Excellent European cuisine, extensive Spanish wine list.

      People who crave a relaxing holiday recommend Jardines De Nivaria 5* in Costa Adeje. The hotel is located near the beach and promenade, close to the airport – 20 minutes drive. The rooms are always clean, excellent cuisine, two swimming pools, SPA. Young people will be bored here, because there is no animation and noisy discos.

      Where to live in Tenerife >>

      Excellent beach in front of the hotel, excellent cuisine, well-groomed territory, many services for children, cafes and shops. There are noisy streets nearby, so you need to choose your room carefully.

      Flamingo Club 3*, a resort complex of apartments in Playa de Las Americas, deserves a fly in the ointment. The hotel stands on the first coastline, a beach with light sand. Animation at a high level, shops and cafes, near the port and the yacht club. The rooms have a kitchen. But people complained about the inattentive attitude of the guides, the noise of the parties, as well as the dishonest tricks of the hotel management regarding the timeshare service. As tourists warn, there is too much false information, and the price of the offer leaves much to be desired.

      The Los Cardones budget apartment complex in Playa de las Americas has received its share of negative reviews, although the reviews are generally good. Vacationers complained about insufficient cleanliness, old furniture, sometimes unsanitary conditions in the rooms, problems with hot water, indifferent behavior of staff, and attempts at theft were recorded. Obviously, the hotel is designed for a very unpretentious tourist.

      Did you know that sometimes a package tour is cheaper than a flight and can be purchased instead of a regular flight ticket? At the same time, the price of the tour includes flights, accommodation, transfers, insurance and meals of your choice.

      Prices and shopping – 2020

      Most tourists note the European level of prices in Tenerife. Souvenirs and household items with food are quite affordable. But what is inexpensive for a European is not always suitable for our compatriot, so some travelers tried to limit their expenses by avoiding visiting local cafes and restaurants. The average check in a cafe for a lunch with wine is about 20-25 euros per person. Expensive excursions and prices for entrance tickets to attractions – from 30 to 60 euros per person.

      The island is a tax-free zone, everything can be bought a little cheaper than on the continent. Shops delight shoppers with discounts, some items of famous brands can be bought at a 60-70% discount. The central street of the town of Playa de Las Americas – the Golden Mile – is popular with vacationers, there are many multi-brand stores. The largest number of shopping centers and shops is located in the capital of the island, Santa Cruz.

      Beaches and resorts in Tenerife

      Judging by the reports, our compatriots prefer to relax on the south coast of Tenerife, where the weather conditions are milder and the infrastructure is well developed – this situation will not change in 2020. The most popular resorts are Playa de Las Americas and Costa Adeje. The latter is preferred by lovers of respectable rest.

      A relatively inexpensive place in Tenerife is Puerto de la Cruz. Low prices attract a large number of tourists, many rent transport here or stay in a tent camp.

      The best beaches in Spain >>

      The general impression of the cities of the island, according to the responses, is very clean. Sidewalks are washed, flower beds are decorated. All beaches are public, you need to pay 3-5 euros for a sunbed with an umbrella. Every morning the beaches are cleaned with special equipment, the shores are perfectly clean.

      According to the reviews of tourists for 2019, in Tenerife the best beach is located in Las Americas – Playa del Duc. Clean, picturesque, with perfectly clear water and light sand. Las Vistas Beach is located right behind the port of Los Cristianos and extends towards Las Americas. Very long, wide, the water is the color of azure.

      Among the exotic black beaches, Playa Jardin is famous – spacious, well-equipped, with a waterfall on one of the sites. The very beautiful and quiet black beach of San Marcos is located near Puerto de la Cruz.

      Holidays in Tenerife with children – 2020

      According to tourists, holidays with children in Tenerife exceed all expectations. You can safely go to the island with a small child: there is no danger of getting infected, which is typical for most exotic resorts, or being bitten by insects or snakes. In addition, the pleasant climate is very well tolerated by children. Tourists also note the high level of service and good food. A whole network of entertainment has been created for children in Tenerife – zoos, water parks, dolphinariums, theaters and shows of marine animals, and so on.

      Tenerife tips and tricks

      Many tourists have noted that excellent wines can be purchased on the island for around 5-10 euros per bottle. Experienced travelers recommend bringing Malvasia wine and palm honey as a souvenir. It is better to buy pearls in special centers where certificates are provided for the goods.

      The island is very convenient for sightseeing on your own. To do this, it is enough to buy a card and rent a transport or hire a taxi with a driver for the whole day. You can rent any vehicle – bicycles, scooters and cars, the cost depends on the brand and year of manufacture. Excursions are more profitable to buy for several days.

      In general, holidays in Tenerife, according to tourists for 2019, are primarily suitable for those who love nature and a relaxing pastime without night races in clubs and discos. Perhaps that is why there are so many European pensioners and couples with children on the island.

      Until 2012, I had never rested anywhere, I had never even been to the sea, so the dream to visit some country simply overcame me. When the opportunity arose to go on a “journey”, the choice was between Thailand in the fall and the Canary Islands in December. My choice fell on the Canary Islands, or rather, the island of Tenerife, in its northern part. My choice was due to the fact that in winter I really want warmth, and here, like nowhere else, the climate is favorable (the promised +23 – +25C.), Especially for those who can hardly tolerate acclimatization. There is no problem with that here.

      We arrived in O. Tenerife on December 1 – the weather was a couple of degrees lower than expected (+21 – +23). The ocean was generally + 18- + 19C, but this did not stop us from enjoying water procedures to our heart’s content. The only negative is a rather strong wind, but it was not felt everywhere (the higher in the mountains, the stronger the wind).

      It was always sunny in the morning, the weather was also sunny during the day, it never rained during the 10-day stay. Day 2-3 was cloudy. Fog was descending from the mountains, and it was not the air that was not humid – it was easy to breathe. And in the evening, after sunset, it became cooler, so a warm cardigan would not hurt. Moreover, at night the wind subsided, and it was a little cool, but not windy. Thanks to the mild climate, the excursion to the mountains to the crater of the volcano was very easy. I really liked the entertainment that was included in the price of the tour: we went to loro park, siam park (an absolutely amazing open-air water park), visited all kinds of excursions and much more. Of course, this weather is ideal for excursions, and not for a beach holiday. The weather is also very good for surfers. I want to note that even if there is no entertainment on the tour, you can find a lot of interesting things for yourself without any problems. I was very pleased with the rest and the weather. A great place to relax in the winter, for people who do not like to “roast” under the scorching sun.

      rest and weather in Tenerife (Spain)

      An incredible combination of hot Spanish temperament with the cool Atlantic and a hidden volcano gave the world the island of Tenerife. This place has a certain magnetism, a perfect combination of warmth, sun, ocean and unique nature. Evergreen scenery, cliff-lined beaches and never too hot or cold weather make this island very attractive to tourists from all over the world. Tenerife in October is fresh in spring, warm in summer and mild in autumn.

      Holidays in Tenerife in October: advantages and disadvantages of the trip

      The time of a beach holiday on the largest island of the Canary archipelago lasts almost until the beginning of winter. The air temperature still allows you to lie carefree by the ocean, listening to the sound of a powerful surf, the sun still provides a perfect, not blushing tan. Reviews of holidays in Tenerife in October absolutely confirm these facts and allow you to plan a trip to the highest point in Spain in the middle of autumn.

      Let’s designate other advantages of the October trip.

      • No heat, but warm enough to relax on the beach. Sharp cooling does not happen either – the weather at this time is stable.
      • Due to the absence of the scorching sun, you can add sightseeing in any quantity to a beach holiday. Sightseeing will be comfortable.
      • The water in the ocean warms up well, but cools down slowly, so that vacationers swim throughout the month.
      • Outdoor entertainment is in full operation, so that neither kids nor school-age children will be bored on the trip.

      Let’s note a few disadvantages of travel so that you can take them into account when planning your trip.

      • Slightly more than half of the days of the month are sunny, the rest can be cloudy or rainy.
      • The beach is increasingly windy, and in combination with cloudy weather it is cool for swimming. Take this fact into account when packing and plan sightseeing for such days.

      Weather in Tenerife in October

      Echoes of summer are still heard in the sunny sky, and in the ever-spring atmosphere, and in the warm waves of the ocean. And all this only confirms that the weather in October-November is suitable for a beach holiday, at least for most of this period.

      The weather in early October is quite warm. The daytime temperature can reach +28 °С, the night temperature is not so high, but stays between +21 °С – +24 °С. At this time, you will not be disturbed by a cold snap, but it is still worth putting a light jacket in a suitcase.

      The temperature in Tenerife in mid-October during the day can fluctuate between +18 °С – +25 °С, dropping by 3-5 degrees at night, but not lower than +12 °С. Therefore, especially diligent tourists can easily get their portion of tanning even in the middle of autumn.

      The weather in Tenerife at the end of October is not always predictable. There are seasons when the thermometer drops to +15 ° C during the day, in this case a beach holiday has to be replaced with a sightseeing one. The nighttime temperature differs little from the daytime temperature, falling no lower than +12 °C. With the same probability, the weather on the island can please the sun and pleasant +24 ° C, making it possible to sunbathe and even swim.

      Air and water temperature

      Describing the advantages of Tenerife, one cannot fail to note the uniqueness of its climate: mild, without sudden temperature changes, critical cold snaps and abnormal heat. It is comfortable here at any time of the year – whether it is the beach season or winter, which is more reminiscent of a warm European spring.

      Air temperature in Tenerife in October

      Temperature in Tenerife in October during the day, on average, is +23.2 °С, at night – +19.1 °С. So in the middle of autumn, the chances of swimming and sunbathing are quite high, especially if you are not a big fan of heat and tiring heat.

      Water temperature in Tenerife in October

      In October, the Atlantic still pleases with warm waves, and the average water temperature is +24 °С. The ocean does not have time to cool down, thereby allowing the swimming season to be extended almost until the end of autumn.

      From time to time, the arrival of cool currents near the shore is felt, and therefore it can be uncomfortable to swim for several days. However, the situation is quickly improving, and tourists are returning to their usual beach and entertainment activities.

      Precipitation

      By October, the amount of precipitation on the island almost doubles compared to the previous month and is about 72 mm. So, mid-autumn is considered one of the wettest months of the year. However, no more than 4 days are rainy, and therefore precipitation will not spoil your plans at all.

      Sunny, cloudy, cloudy days

      The length of daylight hours in October is 11.1 – 11.9 hours.

      October is not the sunniest month of the year on the island, with clear days covering about 58% of the month (18 days). About 26% (8 days) the sun is periodically covered by clouds, and only 5 days (16%) are overcast.

      Beach holidays

      The ridge, formed as a result of volcanic activity, divides the island into two parts – southern and northern. The beaches can also be divided: on the south side of Tenerife the water is warmer, on the north side it is cooler. However, all the coasts here are united by cleanliness and impeccably beautiful views, wherever you go.

      San Marcos Beach

      The exotic black sand coastline in the northern part of the island, well protected from the waves, is ideal for lovers of secluded relaxation. There is no usual tourist hustle and bustle here, from vacationers, mainly, only local residents.

      The quiet bay where San Marcos is located is equipped with everything you need: showers and toilets, restaurants and bars, beautiful terraces overlooking the ocean.

      Playa del Duque

      This coast has been awarded the Blue Flag certificate and is deservedly known as the best beach in the southern part of the island. The sand here is light, yellowish-gray.

      The water near the shore is perfectly transparent and clean, the infrastructure is designed for a comfortable stay and includes expensive hotels and shops, cafes and restaurants, beach amenities in the form of changing rooms, toilets, sun loungers and umbrellas.

      Excursion vacation in Tenerife

      When planning a trip to Tenerife, you can count on the most varied vacation: beaches, excursions, walks, family entertainment on water attractions – in the middle of autumn, all this is absolutely available. Choose any of the types of recreation according to the weather and your preferences, and the vacation will be interesting and eventful.

      • Things to do with children in Tenerife

      Park Garcia Sanabria

      Right in the capital of the island, the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is the largest park in the Canary Islands – Garcia Sanabria, named after the mayor who was most actively involved in the development of the project.

      About a hundred years ago, 67 thousand m 2 of land turned into one of the most picturesque sights of the island. Green arches, lush vegetation, palm trees and flowers, fountains and statues, paths along which you can wander into the most remote corners and take a break from the hustle and bustle – you will find all this for free in this unusual place.

      Any day in early October you can have a great family walk and enjoy the vibrant tropical nature – the park is open every day.

      Monkey Park (Monkey Park)

      This park is more like a petting zoo where monkeys and furry lemurs can be stroked and fed. However, it was founded as a breeding center for endangered primate species. In addition to monkeys, turtles and crocodiles, toucans and parrots, monitor lizards and other animals live here. Some of the animals are in enclosures, while the rest move freely around the territory and easily make contact with visitors.

      If you want to feed the animals, it is better to come to the opening of the park. They are reluctant to eat special food that is sold at the entrance to the zoo, but if you treat them with a banana or dates, they will enjoy it.

      You can visit Monkey Park any day in mid-October – it is open seven days a week.

The museum halls are also dedicated to the prehistoric flora and fauna of the island. So, visitors will certainly be impressed by the stuffed animal of a giant rat, exhibited right in front of the museum building.

      You will also be interested in the model of an active volcano, which clearly demonstrates its activity with the gurgling of magma and stones flying out of the vent. Moreover, the weather at the end of October will allow you to continue the tour and see the Teide volcano, going to the national park of the same name.

It also organizes festivals of folk art and honors the indispensable products of the Canarian cuisine – water and flour.

      On October 12, there are several important dates for the Spaniards. One of them is dedicated to the appearance of the Virgin Mary standing on a column (in Spanish – pilar) – Holy Virgin Day Pilar . Pilgrims from all over the world come to the place of the apparition, and they prepare especially carefully for the celebrations. On this day, unusual processions of giant puppets and head puppets take place – they have fun and dance, taking the guests of the holiday with them.

      Meals and transfers

      The cuisine of the island part of Spain generally resembles the traditional one, however, a large influx of tourists, especially from Britain, has made its own adjustments to the concept of food in Tenerife. You can easily find here a simple breakfast of an ordinary British, consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon and coffee, as well as many fast food places where you can eat for a relatively small amount – from 3 to 6 euros per person.

      However, to feel the real atmosphere of the Canary Islands, it is worth trying the local cuisine. Traditionally, Canarians do not bother with cooking: fish or meat are cooked over high or low heat and served with sauces. Goat meat, rabbit meat or young lamb meat, which is popular here, can be tasted in one of the local restaurants. Fish dishes are well prepared and served in small fishing villages.

      How can you do without traditional Spanish paella and a huge variety of tapas? Tasting this food is the main task of any self-respecting tourist.

      The cost of food in catering places decreases from the center to the outskirts. In unpopular tourist places, where the main visitors are locals, the cost of the same dishes can be half as much as in a restaurant near beaches and hotels.

      Tenerife’s bus network is excellent – you can get anywhere on the island using public transport. The buses here are green and are called Guagua . Their schedule can be downloaded from the website of the service company or taken at the bus station. It is more profitable to pay for travel using a card, so you save almost twice on trips. Do not forget to activate it not only at the entrance, but also at the exit, otherwise the amount will be debited for the entire route.

      Recommendations for families with children

      A trip to the shores of the Atlantic in the middle of autumn will bring you extremely positive emotions and leave pleasant impressions. The weather is perfect for family walks, beach holidays and excursions. Do not forget that in the evening the island is cool, so we recommend putting a light jacket and jeans in your luggage.

      • Vacation with children in Tenerife

      There are plenty of entertainment and attractions for families on the island. No less interesting will be visits to animal parks – they are very diverse and interesting here. For school-age children, the island has museums of history, nature and science.

      Our article on interesting facts about Tenerife will help you get to know the island even better. We hope that Kidpassage tips and tricks will be useful to you when planning your trip. Let your vacation on one of the largest Canary Islands leave only pleasant memories and unforgettable impressions.

      The population of the island is about 1.100.000 inhabitants, and the national language is Spanish. The time difference with Moscow is 2 hours in summer and 3 hours in winter. The local currency is Euro.

      Climate and geographical features

      Tenerife is considered the highest island in the Atlantic Ocean thanks to the volcano called Teide.

      Due to the mountain range, 2 climatic zones are created in this territory:

      • north, relatively humid and with dense vegetation;
      • sunny south, quite arid.

      The climate of the island is unique and is divided into 2 parts. In the north of the island it is mild and cool, while in the south it is warmer due to sunlight.

      At the peak of the swimming season in Tenerife in September and October, the water temperature is between 20-24 degrees. You can sunbathe in Tenerife throughout the year.

      In this heavenly place, you can find a lot of interesting things to do besides swimming, but for beach lovers, we hasten to inform you: people swim here all year round! Indeed, even in the January off-season, the lowest temperature of ocean water is 19degrees. Of course, not everyone will like such water, but in this case, 4-5 star hotels in Tenerife have heated pools.

      Tenerife in spring

      Tenerife’s spring state is felt throughout the year. By the way, the Coming of Spring is another of the many holidays that, among other things, the island is so rich in, it is celebrated in the spring, on March 21st. March to May is warm, mild, dry weather. Light rain is rare in the north. Sunny during the day, slightly cool at night. Great sunbathing time, visiting various parks and attractions.

      Tenerife in summer

      Unlike most southern European resorts, Tenerife does not get very hot in summer. The maximum temperature is usually observed in August and is about 30 degrees Celsius, which, coupled with low humidity, gives quite a comfortable feeling. The days are sunny, and the sun is not “evil”, but suitable for sunbathing. Rain is possible only in the mountains, and even then no more than once a month. The water warms up to an ideal 22 degrees. For lovers of sports recreation on the water, the northern breeze blowing will come in handy! Summer holidays in Tenerife have another plus – a lot of fruits are grown on the island, which just ripen in the summer months. There are many tourists.

      Tenerife in autumn

      The autumn season on the island is slightly different from the summer. During the day everything is also hot, up to +25. Evenings and nights have become cooler, the temperature can drop to +17, so you should slightly warm up in clothes. But the water, as usual, is warm, the sun is gentle, so you can safely run to the beach. The amount of rain increases slightly – up to five per month on average, especially in the northwestern regions. This is due to the higher humidity of the microclimate, so in autumn the demand is increased for the resorts of the southern part of the island: Costa Adeje, Las Americas, Los Cristianos. In any case, autumn in Tenerife, with its sun, bathing ocean and natural beauty, compares favorably with the dull European slush, which manifests itself in the form of a good tourist flow compared to other resorts in Europe.

      Tenerife in winter

      The winter months are more like the usual not so hot summer. In the evening and at night, the coolness is felt more noticeably, but even a light sweater already saves from it. There is a little more rain, but they are short-lived, which is called “a light summer rain” or “it dripped and passed.” In winter, lovers of discounts are very fond of relaxing – prices in Tenerife are reduced by about a quarter. The ocean is not so inviting for swimming – about +19 degrees, which significantly reduces the flow of tourists. When planning a trip, do not forget about the strong winds of the north coast, especially when you are going on an excursion to one of the wonderful National Parks of Tenerife. Dress warmly.

      It’s time for holidays in Tenerife

      Tenerife, as mentioned above, is under Spanish jurisdiction, respectively, and the inhabitants of the island adhere to the Catholic religion. These two facts explain the presence of a large number of church holidays, which are celebrated, however, quite secularly, with carnivals, processions, dances and other fiesta. Of the brightest, it is worth noting the “Holy Week”, which takes place before Easter. At this time, colorful processions of believers with religious symbols can be observed throughout the island. The Corpus Christi flower festival should also be noted, when large cities are covered with whole carpets of flowers. The celebration of the Day of Our Lady of Candelar (she is considered the patroness of the Canary Islands) looks very colorful, it is celebrated on August 14 and 15. And, of course, the Day of the Canary Islands – May 30, which is happening as violently and brightly as possible! Do not forget about the New Year and Merry Christmas, which are also honored on the island.

      Carnival season in Tenerife

      Peaks in February. It is called “Mardi Gras”. The largest actions are held in the capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The dry presentation was deliberately chosen, because any, even the most enthusiastic, replete with exclamation marks and other ahas, is still not able to convey even a small clip of the ongoing carnival riot. It’s just a must see! It is not for nothing that the Tenerife carnival is considered the second most beautiful in the world, right after the Brazilian one, which takes place in Rio de Janeiro. After the unbridled fun of the carnival, its end is marked by Great Lent.

      The most comfortable stay in Tenerife: monthly weather

      Updated: 28 Jan, 2022

      Tenerife is an amazing island of the Canary archipelago, where you want to be constantly. The climate in Tenerife is mild, characterized by the minimum average annual temperature fluctuation, and it is recognized as the most preferable for people of all ages. This is one of the resorts in Europe, where the swimming season lasts 6 months, and you can simply bask in the sun by the ocean throughout the year. To see how comfortable it is to live in the Canaries, let’s see what the weather is like in Tenerife by months.

      Despite the fact that the island is relatively small, the climate there changes markedly when moving across the territory from south to north. In the southern part, the weather is drier and hotter, it is here that you can enjoy a beach holiday all year round. In the north of the island, the climate is also mild, although not so warm, especially in winter.

      And now let’s take a closer look at the climate in Tenerife and the temperature of the water in the Atlantic Ocean off its coast.

      Winter in Tenerife: warm and little rainfall

      The mild winter climate invariably attracts those who want to soak up the sun and spend time on the warm coast to the resorts of the Canary archipelago. And if you hardly want to swim in the waters of the Atlantic, then you can definitely go surfing, go on excursions to sights, climb the snowy peak of Teide, or just walk.

      If we talk about the winter weather in the Canary Islands and Tenerife by months, then we can say this about December: nature pleases with bright green hues, sun and freshness.

      In December, the average air temperature during the day is +18…+21°С, at night – about +15°С. Water keeps the temperature at +20.5°C.

      The number of sunny days is impressive: 25. It rains only 2 days a month, while the air humidity is quite high – 75%.

      January is the coldest month in the Canaries.

      In the northern part of Tenerife, cold northeast winds blow, the weather is rainy, but the sun pleases with its presence quite often: more than half a month. In the southern resorts, the weather is good: there are 22 sunny days per month, precipitation can be no more than 5-6 days.

      In Santa Cruz de Tenerife in January daytime temperature is +17…+20°C, nighttime temperature is +14°C. In the south, in particular in the resort of Playa de las Americas, it is usually warmer – about + 21 ° C during the day.

      The waters of the Atlantic Ocean warm up to +19…+20°С. You can take a dip, but you will hardly want to swim in water of this temperature for a long time.

      If we compare January and February, then for these months the weather in Tenerife and the temperature of the water in the ocean near its coast are almost the same.

      On the north side of the island there are 3-4 rainy days, and in the south – only 2. Sunny weather in February usually pleases for 15-19days.

      In the last month of winter, the temperature on the thermometer during the day does not fall below +18°C, at night it stays at an average of +13°C.

      Anyone who wants to take sea baths should be prepared for the fact that the water in the Atlantic is quite cool – about +19°C. A good solution would be to book accommodation in those hotels that have their own heated pools.

      Spring is the time to observe the local nature

      Spring in the Canary archipelago can be briefly described as follows: the richness of colors and the brightness of aromas in perfect weather. In the spring, it makes sense to come to Tenerife to engage in outdoor activities and go on sightseeing tours: you can climb to the top of Teide, go on a boat trip in the ocean to watch whales.

      Let’s see how the water temperature and the weather in Tenerife change by months in spring.

      Since March, the weather conditions in Tenerife begin to change little by little. During the day, the air temperature on the coast often exceeds + 20 ° C, which means that it is already quite possible to walk in light dresses, shorts and T-shirts. Evenings and early mornings are still quite fresh, so a warm sweater and a thin jacket are a must.

      In March, the number of sunny days already increases to 21, while cloudy and rainy days, on the contrary, decrease to 1.

      The water in the ocean remains at the same temperature: +19°C. All in all, the water is as invigorating as it is during the winter months.

      With the month of April in Tenerife and all the Canary Islands, the weather comes really spring and warm. April is the time of transition from the low season to the high, beach season.

      The average daily temperature is +21°C, although the thermometer often shows +24°C. At the same time, the average night temperature is not yet high – about + 14 ° C.

      The days are gradually getting longer and the sun more active. There are 22 sunny days in a month.

      The water in the Atlantic Ocean has not yet warmed up, and its temperature remains the same, that is, +19°С.

      Precipitation is very low. Rains fall mainly in the northern part of Tenerife, and they are always short-lived.

      In the last month of spring in the Canaries, the beach season is already open.

      The average temperature in May is as follows: during the day +24°С, at night +16°С. The length of daylight hours increases, as does the number of sunny days: there are 25 of them.

      The number of days when it rains is reduced to almost zero, although at the beginning of the month the probability of precipitation is slightly higher. Humidity is about 64%.

      As for the water in the Atlantic off the coast of Tenerife, the average is +19°C, and in some places +21°C.

      Summer is the high season in the Canary Islands

      Living in Tenerife is extremely comfortable in the summer: pleasant weather without sweltering heat, and the water is at least not “fresh milk”, but not cold either. In summer, fans of beach pastime and outdoor activities, lovers of eco-tours and water activities come here.

      How does the weather in Tenerife differ from month to month?

      June is the peak of the high season in Tenerife.

      With the onset of June, there is an increase in night temperature to +18…+20°С, daytime temperature to +25…+27°С, although sometimes the thermometer rises to +30°С. In the northern part of the island, the daytime temperature is +24°C, the nighttime temperature is +17°C. But at the same time, any heat in the Canary Islands is easily tolerated, because the air is always fresh.

      In the first summer month, daylight reaches its maximum value – 13.9hours. In addition, the weather is almost always clear and sunny: 25-27 cloudless days.

      June is the driest month on the resort islands. The average rainfall for this pore is 12.8 mm.

      The water temperature in Tenerife is increasing: on average it is +22°C. but since the water is still not too warm, it makes sense for families who go on vacation with children to rent a hotel room with a heated pool.

      In the middle of summer the weather in Tenerife is even warmer than in the previous month. No wonder the bathing season is getting really massive. By the way, it is at this time that many families with children come to relax by the ocean.

      During the day the air temperature on the coast reaches +28…+30°C. Given that the water in the ocean at this time is already warmed up to + 22 ° C, it is clear that this time is ideal for sunbathing and swimming. Warm night weather (+20°C) allows you to make pleasant walks near the water, have fun at night discos.

      There are incredibly many sunny days: 29-30, that is, almost the entire month. The sky is covered with clouds only in the mornings, but by the afternoon they safely disperse. Rainy days this month can have a maximum of 1.

      August is the warmest month on the spa island and the peak of the high spa season. This period is great for beach time.

      The daily temperature of the last summer month is very close to +30°C, although the average value for the whole island remains at +26°C. At night, the average air temperature is +21°С. Such heat is much easier to bear thanks to the fresh winds blowing from the ocean.

      It is usually sunny in the Canary Islands in August: 23-25 ​​days of cloudless weather and only 3 days of rain.

      Compared to the summer months, the water temperature in Tenerife reaches its highest position in August: +23°C.

      Autumn is the time of the velvet season

      Although the climate in Tenerife is not characterized by any “extremes”, there is still a time of the year on this island when it is most convenient to combine various types of recreation.

      What is the water in the ocean, and what is the air temperature in Tenerife by months in autumn?

      Velvet season in the Canary Islands is marked by another influx of tourists. As many tourists note, this season has only two drawbacks: high crowds and too high prices.

      The weather of the beginning of autumn is almost similar to the weather of August and quite fits the definition of “paradise”. Temperature indicators of air are at the level of +28°С. The water temperature reaches the highest annual rates of +23…+24°С, and in small quiet bays it is even higher.

      Daylength decreases to 11.9-12.7 hours, but the weather is mostly clear: the sky remains cloudless for 21 days.

      At the beginning of autumn there are only 3 days with rain, precipitation is 45-50 mm, it can be a little windy.

      The velvet season lasts almost the whole of October in Tenerife, and the end of the active swimming season takes place towards the end of the month.

      Daytime temperature background gradually acquires values ​​of +26…+22°C, nighttime +18…+19°C.

      The water in the ocean is still the warmest this month, for example, +23°С in the waters near Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

      In October, the number of rainy days already increases to 5, precipitation is 68-80 mm. The bright sun shines for 17 days, there are no strong winds yet.

      In November, the air temperature in the Canary archipelago gradually decreases, approaching an average of +22°С. The water in the ocean is still warm: + 21 … + 22 ° С, in Candelaria the temperature is even slightly higher.

      Compared to September, the same amount of precipitation falls (68-81 mm), but there are more rainy days: 6-8. Accordingly, the sky is often covered with clouds, it becomes windy.

      The last weeks of autumn in Tenerife are a time of relaxation for those who enjoy windsurfing and kitesurfing. A lot of those who want to ride the waves come to the coastal town of El Medano, where wind speeds often reach 25 m/s.

      Conclusion: when to go to Tenerife

      The weather allows you to relax in Tenerife all year round, the main thing is to determine for yourself exactly what kind of vacation should be. From whether it will be lying on the beach, doing water sports, walking around the cities or eco-hiking to get to know the local landscapes, not only the choice of time for the trip will depend, but also the choice of the part of the island where to go. For those who prefer to spend time on the beaches, it is better to choose resorts in the south of Tenerife, especially in winter. To the north of the island, known for much richer landscapes, it is better to go to those who rely on an extensive excursion program and sports recreation.

And it does not matter that the name of the archipelago is translated from Latin as not quite romantic « dog islands “. Meteorologists even awarded these places the status of “the best climate on the planet”, and this despite the fact that one of the islands has 28 (!) microclimatic zones!

      Climatic zones of the Canary Islands

      Despite the proximity to Africa, the climate of the Canary Islands differs significantly from the sultry continent. The archipelago is dominated by a tropical trade wind climate , it is dry and warm throughout the year. Interestingly, the weather over the Canary Islands is shaped by the interaction of African dry harmattan winds and wet trade winds from the Atlantic.

      Please note! The Canary Islands is an area where modern technology and renewable energy reign supreme. Here they successfully use the energy of wind, water and the sun for the functioning of the entire infrastructure of the islands. Desalination of sea water for drinking, using wind to power an entire airport, or even sandy beaches from the ocean floor – the Canaries honor nature and contribute to the future.

      Individual islands and their clusters differ in climatic features. In particular, the islands in the southern part of the archipelago are drier, while the northern Canaries are distinguished by wet weather and lush tropical forests.

      • The highest islands of the archipelago (Tenerife, Palma, Gran Canaria) differ from the rest by their relief, which forms a special weather here. At the foot of the volcanoes – warm and dry, but the higher, the cooler the climate becomes. Even in summer, you can see a snow cover near the hills of volcanoes. Because of this, the largest of the islands of the archipelago are called separate miniature continents.
      • The eastern islands are drier than the others because they are affected by the hot winds of the Sahara.
      • Another influence is exerted by the Atlantic Ocean, in particular its currents. This influence is especially felt in the southern islands.

      On the main tourist spot of the Canaries, Tenerife – eternal spring. Temperature fluctuation not more than 7 degrees in both directions . The second largest island, Gran Canaria, is not colder than +20°C in winter and no higher than +30°C in summer. There is almost no rain in Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura has the most stable temperature throughout the year, but there are winds that create ideal conditions for waveriders.

      Tourist seasons of the Canary Islands

      The Canary Islands are amazing in their weather. Year-round “plus”, the constant temperature of the water in the lagoons, the bright sun and the absence of scorching heat – all this creates excellent conditions for tourism regardless of the division into seasons.

      On average, the temperature in the Canary Islands shows a comfortable +22°C. There is no sultry heat and sub-zero temperatures – the difference between the peak values ​​does not exceed 10 degrees, which allows a person to quickly adapt upon arrival in the Canary Islands and not feel temperature changes during the day, night and change of seasons.

      The best “beach” time is from May to October. The high season is August-October, when the water is warmed up to the maximum. In the winter months, there is a small “rainy season” – this is only 5-6 days, when a tropical storm can pass through the islands. Spring and autumn are the off-season, when prices are lower, but the weather continues to create conditions for a comfortable stay.

      Monthly weather in Tenerife: air and water temperature

      Tenerife is called the island of eternal spring. And this is no coincidence, the temperature of air and water during the year does not have significant fluctuations. Canarian weather has its own characteristics. However, swimming in the winter season is not possible at all resorts. In this article, I will reveal what the weather is like in Tenerife by months, give the average air and water temperature, so that you yourself decide when it is better to go to the island.

      When is the best time to go to Tenerife

      Tenerife is part of the Canary Islands and is located much closer to the equator. The location of the island has a significant impact on its climate. The cold currents of the Atlantic Ocean cool the hot air from the desert of Africa, and the climate in Tenerife becomes more even. It is green here all year round, real spring. In addition to external factors, the formation of the internal climate of the island is influenced by a high volcano, which naturally separates the north and south.

      The weather in Tenerife is unique. Where else have you seen the climate change dramatically at a distance of several tens of kilometers. For example, in the winter, when you drive from the hot south to the north, you feel yourself getting colder. Each resort in Tenerife has its own subclimate. Summer here is warm, but there is no particular heat. Winter is cool but not cold. The water temperature does not drop below 18 degrees, so tourists come to Tenerife to relax all year round.

      However, in winter it is better to choose resorts in the south of Tenerife for a comfortable stay. You can swim in the ocean on them, although the water is a little invigorating. In the north of the island, temperatures will be much lower in winter. Below you will find the air and water temperatures by months and decide for yourself whether it is worth going to Tenerife in a given month.

    Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, has stylish restaurants, exotic parks, colonial architecture, interesting museums and innovative art galleries. So why don’t more people visit?

    Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a curious place. It is arguably the most important city in the Canary Islands and yet if it wasn’t for cruise passengers, its sub-tropical streets would have hardly any tourists on them. Its character is 100% Canarian and reflects a Tenerife that many of the millions of holidaymakers who descend on the island never experience.They’re missing out.

    History

    In 1493 the conquest of Tenerife began from the area now called Santa Cruz. The port subsequently built there was at the crossroads between Europe and the New World, which meant just about everyone heading to and from the Americas passed this way, including all manner of miscreants. Famous battles were fought at Santa Cruz. Admiral Robert Blake destroyed the Spanish treasure fleet here in 1657, more or less ending Spain’s military ambitions in Europe. Interestingly, locals claim that Blake was defeated because he didn’t actually invade. Admiral Nelson was famously defeated at Santa Cruz in 1797, losing his right arm in the process. The culprit cannon, el Tigre, can still be seen at the Castillo de San Cristobal underneath Plaza de España.

     

    Colonial Architecture

    On the face of it Santa Cruz isn’t one of Spain’s pretty cities. But a wander around its streets reveals an attractive mish mash of architectural styles from jaunty fishermen’s cottages around the Iglesia de la Concepción in the Noria district to imposing mansions between Plaza Weyler and La Rambla.

    Parks and Plazas

    Because of an almost perfect climate, the default setting is warm and sunny, Santa Cruz is a city where people spend all year enjoying outdoor spaces like parks and plazas. A turquoise man-made lake at Plaza de España is most visitors’ introduction to the city. Heading inland, Plaza Weyler mixes shady gardens and a marble fountain with a border of military buildings, whilst the fountain at pretty Plaza de los Patos will look familiar to anyone who knows Parque de María Luisa in Seville. Best of all are the ‘lungs of the city’, the leafy and artistic Parque García Sanabria; a lush wonderland filled with exotic foliage, amusing sculptures, throaty frogs and squawking parrots.

     

    Restaurants

    From moody tapas bars to traditional tascas and chic restaurants, there’s plenty to tantalise the tastebuds in Santa Cruz. If time is short I’d recommend heading to the Noria district where there are a selection of bustling bars and individualistic restaurants with a mix of traditional and contemporary menus. However, it’s not my favourite area to eat; it can be pricey by Tenerife standards and sometimes restaurants can be complacent. Some of the most interesting restaurants, Solana, El Libano, Victor Cruz, are found in the streets on either side of La Rambla and can take a bit of exploring to uncover.

     

    Nightlife

    When non-Spanish talk about nightlife on Tenerife they tend to focus on the main southern tourist area around Playa de las Américas. Whereas Las Américas is the island’s cabaret capital, the metropolitan area (Santa Cruz and La Laguna) offers a more authentic taste of Tenerife’s nightlife with great bars, atmospheric clubs and a healthy live music scene. Noria is a good starting point for a bar crawl as it’s lively from before sundown. Bars there morph from being the place for a post work, early evening drink to rooftop partying after midnight. In the early hours there’s a choice of clubs along Avenida Anaga or slightly out of centre venues like the marquee at Isla de Mar. Personally I prefer atmospheric bars and a scour of the back streets could lead you to ‘hidden’ places like Banda Aparte, a gin joint near Noria. The downside is that good bars in Santa Cruz can be spread out and valuable mojito drinking time is lost hoofing it between them.

     

    Art and Culture

    A stroll down La Rambla doubles as gentle exercise and a perusal of an open air art gallery, a legacy from a street sculpture exhibition in the 1970s, with works by Joan Miró and Henry Moore. The Museum of Fine Arts behind Plaza del Príncipe offers a more conventional way to view artistic offerings, inside the classically styled walls of a building from the 1920s that doesn’t need a sign to give away the fact that it’s an art gallery. At the opposite end of the scale is Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martin, home to rock, classical and jazz concerts as well as ballets and musicals. Anyone with a bit of knowledge of Spain’s most iconic modern architecture will know who designed it as soon as they set eyes on its unusual curves and blinding white surfaces – Santiago Calatrava. Less flamboyant is TEA (Tenerife Espacio de las Artes), home to some of the most innovative cultural activities in the capital, which initially looks as though it might have all the charm of a bunker but whose minimalist appearance grows on you over time.

     

    Shopping

    Santa Cruz, or Tenerife even, isn’t great for shopping, apart from stocking up on unique local goodies like wines, cheese, honeys etc. Saying that, Santa Cruz is as good as anywhere on the island for picking up some stylish garb, with Calle Castillo being home to the best of mainstream Spanish fashion shops. There is a decent El Corte Inglés beside the bus station.

    Beaches

    Despite the balmy weather, you don’t go to Santa Cruz to sunbathe. If you insist on stripping off, there’s the Parque Marítimo César Manrique swimming pool complex beside the auditorium or the best looking beach on Tenerife at Playa de las Teresitas, eight kilometres outside the city.

     

    Getting Around

    The tram system (tranvia) is cheap and convenient but only covers a section of the city. Alternatively there’s the usual open-topped tourist bus which sets off from Plaza España. Neither beat exploring the place on foot.

     

    Remember When … Santa Cruz was nicknamed the “Murder Capital of the World?”

    In the 1970s, the work of a few unhinged killers led to a real-life nightmare—the legacy of which still haunts the town today.

    By Aric Sleeper

    The fall of 1970 was a season of change in Santa Cruz. The area was feeling the pressure of adjusting to an incoming flood of students from UC Santa Cruz and Cabrillo College, which had both opened in recent years. And, as the swell of the hippie movement crested and faded after the Summer of Love, Santa Cruz becamea reservoir for the cultural runoff.   

    “[The subculture] entered this era of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll, and there was a lot of drug use, especially LSD,” says local historian and author Kevin Newhouse. “And with this wave of hippies from the Bay Area, and students from Cabrillo and UCSC, Santa Cruz was rocked by population growth. Then, after the Manson family murders, people across the country were on edge, and in California in particular. Tensions were high.”

    On Oct. 19, 1970, firefighters arrived to a burning mansion in the Soquel Hills. It was the home of a prominent eye surgeon, Dr. Masashi Ohta. The doctor’s Rolls Royce blocked the driveway, and firefighters had to go through the backyard to utilize the water from the Ohta’s swimming pool. Once there, they discovered five floating bodies—the doctor, his wife, their two young sons and Ohta’s secretary.

    Upon investigating, police found a cryptic note decorated with tarot symbols, and realized that one of the Ohta’s cars was missing. The car was spotted near Felton, and was later found burning along the train tracks near Highway 9.

    “The train was running late, and didn’t immediately stop. It pushed the car through the tunnel there,” says Newhouse. “It was actually lucky that the train was late, otherwise the car may not have been found until it had burned through the night.”

    Two hippie-types had been spotted fleeing the scene, so the police looked to the community for clues. They then learned about Ohio-born John Linley Frazier, whose extreme beliefs made him an outcast even from the hippie scene, to which he longed to belong. Drug use and mental illness had led Frazier to believe that he had to take people’s lives to save the environment from humanity.

    “He was living in a forested area on Rodeo Gulch that was about a mile away from the a,” says Newhouse. “Frazier took offense to the Ohta’s extravagant lifestyle, and thought it was his job to convince them to change their ways.”

    The police staked out his shack and captured Frazier in the night as he slept. They found items from the Ohta’s home in Frazier’s dwelling. He was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to a life in prison. In 2009, Frazier committed suicide in his cell.

    “There was just one event where he killed five people, but I hold him responsible for so much more because the surviving Ohta family and the secretary’s husband were also victims,” says Newhouse.

    Two years later, murders in Santa Cruz started occurring regularly and seemingly at random. A fog of fear and paranoia thickened in the once quiet beach community.

    “The cops didn’t know if it was one person, or multiple people working together, or how anything was related. Were the killers local, not local? No one knew. And the fear levels were ridiculous. Gun sales were up 300 to 500 percent,” says Newhouse.

    The murders were perpetrated by two men who couldn’t have been more different from each other: Herbert “Herbie” Mullin and Edmund “Big Ed” Kemper.

    Mullin was raised in Santa Cruz and voted most likely to succeed at San Lorenzo Valley High. But after his best friend died in a car accident, Mullin began taking large doses of LSD and lost touch with reality. He was in and out of mental institutions before completely losing his mind. His first murder was of a homeless man along Highway 9. He then killed a priest in a confessional booth, four teenage boys camping in the woods, and other people he knew. On Feb. 13, 1972, Mullin stopped his car, got out and shot a man in his driveway. Fortunately, there were multiple witnesses. 

    Mullin was found, arrested, and convicted of 10 counts of murder in Santa Cruz County, which he justified by claiming he was preventing earthquakes with each of his grotesque acts.

    Not long after he was caught, the bodies of two young women turned up. With Mullin captured, the police were flabbergasted. Little did they know it was the work of one of their drinking buddies, “Big Ed” Kemper, who frequented the Jury Room—once a haunt for local law enforcement.

    Kemper was a deeply disturbed and vastly intelligent young man who had been abused by his mother. She sent young Kemper to live with his grandparents, whom he murdered at the age of 15. He was put into a mental institution and released as a young man. Kemper tried to assimilate into society, but he had a monster within that he couldn’t control. After a years-long murder spree ending with his mother, Kemper turned himself in to the police, who had a difficult time accepting that the murderer they had searched for was their 6-foot-9-inch, 24-year-old friend “Big Ed,” who will be up for parole in 2029.

    Although these murders happened more than 40 years ago, their memory is still a point of pain for a number of Santa Cruz residents, as well as a sinister blotch on local history.

    “It didn’t end in 1973. The people who worked on the cases were ruined by them,” says Newhouse. “It changed Santa Cruz forever.”

      A STROLL THROUGH CAPITOLA VILLAGE

      The quaint seaside village of Capitola began as a humble tent camp along the shore of the Monterey Bay. Camp Capitola, as it was known, welcomed its first guests in 1874 making it the first beach resort in California. A few years later, it premiered a magnificent wood-frame Victorian hotel — Hotel Capitola — that echoed grand contemporaries like the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego and San Francisco’s original Cliff House. The hotel succumbed to fire in 1929, but the romance of the original beach resort still exists in the colorful, seaside shops and restaurants tucked into a hillside along Soquel Creek. Wandering the village and its bay front promenade — window shopping and snacking along the way — is a quintessential part of any Santa Cruz experience.

      PLAY

      It’s all about the bustling scene at Capitola Beach and the bench-filled Esplanade Park that fronts it. Beach goers perch themselves on a wide sea wall lined with colorful tiles painted by community members and take in the panoramic beach scene. Get in the water for a swim, surf, boogie board session, or for some stand up paddle boarding on the Bay.

      Photo by @reemb0

      Walk onto the Capitola Wharf and drop a line (no fishing permit required when fishing off the pier) or rent a boat with Capitola Boat and Bait. Also look out for the frequent flowers left on the wharf’s railing that add an additional pop of color to the vibrant village scene.

      Palm trees, bright florals, beach bungalows, and murals are around every corner as you stroll through the Village buildings, sidewalks, and pathways.

      SHOP

      You know summer has officially arrived when the Capitola Beach Company rolls out its rental trailer stocked with everything you need for a fun day at the beach including boogie boards, beach chairs and sun umbrellas. Don’t miss their boutique down the street that’s filled with men’s and women’s beach apparel individually selected by owners Jill and Matt. Around the corner, Nubia Swimwear offers an exhaustive selection of stylish women’s and girl’s swimwear from designers across the globe.

      Find unique handmade treasures at the Craft Gallery. Owner Carin Hanna emphasizes that the products and pieces are “work produced in the U.S. and Canada.”

      DINE

      Zelda’s On The Beach is a fun spot for live music and drinks enjoyed on a huge deck set right on the beach. A few doors down, Paradise Beach Grille boasts a comfortable dining room, a lively lounge and a killer torch-lit patio overlooking Soquel Creek and the beach. Pair tropical-imbued seafood dishes like Coconut Prawns or an Ahi Tuna Salad with a glass of wine from their large selection of local labels. The Sand Bar & Grill is another village favorite known for its fun atmosphere, scenic location and views, great breakfast and famous Bloody Mary’s. Margaritaville and Capitola Bar & Grill also have incredible ocean and creek views, but if you want to be right over the Pacific, try Wharf House Restaurant at the end of the Capitola Wharf.

      Two more absolute-favorites in the Capitola Village are a short walk from the oceanfront, but are definitely not-to-miss. Gayle’s Bakery & Rosticceria is a local and visitor favorite – delicious pastries, cookies, cakes, and top-notch breakfast, lunch, and dinner grab and go meals. Everything on the menu is worth a try, but you’re bound to find your own favorites that you’ll order again and again. And no Capitola visit is complete without a trip on the cable car – more specifically – Shadowbrook’s cable car! Shadowbrook is an experience in itself with its dreamy red trolley, lush landscape, and expansive riverfront restaurant – and we haven’t even mentioned the award winning food and drinks yet. A place for celebrations and memories, Shadowbrook’s menu, service and atmosphere will be the highlight of any Capitola Village visit.

      STAY

      An unmistakable part of the seaside landscape is the complex of colorful houses that line Capitola Beach. They were built as condominiums in 1925 and were intended to bring Venice’s charm to Capitola. The brown houses within the same complex now comprise the atmospheric Capitola Venetian Hotel. Snag a multi-bedroom room with kitchen and living area and be walking distance to everything! Another village favorite is the Capitola Hotel in the heart of the Capitola Village, just steps from the beach. This boutique hotel offers luxury rooms dressed in crisp white cotton linens and the most comfortable beds you’ve ever slept in.

      Want to get a little higher up in the village? Capitola Beach Suites is still right in the village, but boasts jaw-dropping panoramic views and offers newly remodeled rooms, fully equipped kitchens, balconies, and a fantastic rooftop terrace. Plus, you can’t miss their iconic mural created by Manuel Cruz in 2017. Perched on the other side of the village. the Inn at Depot Hill is a great little B&B that offers guestrooms and suites decorated in the style of famous travel destinations. From the romance of Paris to the serenity of Kyoto, each guestroom boasts feather beds, luxury linens, and a crackling fireplace.

      For more great hotels, motels, vacation rentals, and bed and breakfasts that are just a hop and a skip to the Capitola Village, check our Capitola destination page here.

      HISTORY LESSON

      Capitola has a fascinating history and even the most casual glimpse lends fun insight into America’s captivation with recreation and leisure. If you have an interest in the events and forces that shaped the local landscape, drop by the Capitola Historical Museum for a peek into the town’s rich history.

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Europe’s Carnival Capital


      The Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife it’s the most important carnival in Europe and the second most important in the world (top-billing goes to Rio de Janeiro, Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s sister city).

      Contenido

      Hundreds of thousands of people congregate in the Canary Islands to celebrate the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival, the most important carnival in Europe and the second most important in the world. In 1987, 250,00 people took to the streets to dance to the music of Celia Cruz and, in the process, beat the Guinness world record. Since then visitor numbers have gone up and up. For example, in 2019, 400,000 people gathered on Piñata Saturday, the most important day of the carnival.    

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      The celebrations consist of two distinct parts: The Official Carnival and The Street Carnival. The Official Carnival is made up of more than a hundred designated groups each composed of, on average, fifty parts. There can be strange bands clothed in fancy dress, troupes of dancers, actors and singers, street musicians, stringed ensembles and other musical groups. In total more than 5,000 people flood the streets in a spectacle of light, sound and colour. Alternatively, The Street Carnival – declared a ‘Fiesta of International Tourist Interest’ by the Spanish Ministry of Tourism in 1980 – is open entry: anyone can dress up, dance and participate. 

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      Crowning of the Queen 

      One of the most important events is the Carnival Queen Election Gala and dozens of competitors in various categories flaunt their wares in costumes that have been carefully tailored over many months. In some cases, outfits have been valued at tens of thousands of euros.  

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      In many workshops in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, craftsmen work long hours in search of an authentic carnival costume. Santi Castro, president of the Association of Carnival Designers, believes that to understand the carnival it is essential to “spend a few hours in an artisan’s workshop, to see the Queen live from the inside, get to know her guts…It’s pure passion.” Castro should know; he has been designing carnival queen costumes for forty years. 

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      Besides fabrics, all kinds of materials – including plastic, cardboard, aluminium, sequins and acrylic stones – are arranged on a large metal structure to make the outfits. With final products that can weigh up to 500 kilos and require wheels, enormous costumes are one of the characteristics of the carnival. Demand for ever larger outfits is such that organizers have put a dress size safety limit of 5 x 4.3 x 6 metres. 

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      Songs with social and political criticism 

      Masi Carvajal, the director of one of the murgas called Diablos Locos, says that “the best thing to do is to see the whole carnival all the way down to the day-to-day contests of the street performers. That way you get to see the whole range.”  

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      Murgas are groups of song writers who sing songs through the carnival streets. They compete with one another for prizes and their lyrics cover subjects that include socio-economic problems, corruption, gender inequality and gender-based violence.  

      Contenido

      Music includes comparsas, groups of musicians and dancers which resemble the samba schools of the Rio carnival. Tenerife’s first comparsa was created in the sixties by Manuel Monzón, and today the troupes – of various distinctly arranged styles – form an integral part of the festivities. 

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      José Manuel González, the director of Cariocas, one of the oldest comparsas on the island, states “the Rhythm and Harmony Parade along Anaga Avenue is really something to experience. It’s amazing.” 

      Contenido

      Plus…

      Since 1998 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has held the internationally renown Drag Gala. The show which loves to shock sees men transformed into ostentatiously dressed women as they perform competing dance routines on jam-packed platforms raised high into the sky. 

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      A highly recommended event is the Carnival de Los Indianos in Santa Cruz de La Palma. It has been running for over fifty years and celebrates the triumphant return of the newly wealthy Canary islanders who travelled to the Americas. Sosó reprises his celebrated role of Negra Tomasa in this strange and original party. The city’s main square is converted into a piece of Cuba and, for decoration, talcum powder is sprinkled over everyone.  

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      San Sebastián de La Gomera offers an alternative to the queens’ galas or the Festival of the Murgas in the capital. The Carnival of Talcum Powder is a day of disguise. All who participate use talcum power, flour or even indigo pigment to conceal themselves. 

      Contenido

      Tigaday, a town on the island of El Hierro, celebrates Los Carneros. The festival springs from a tradition that was about to disappear when it was rediscovered by the young people of the area. In a terrifying spectacle, youths disguise themselves with foul smelling dried rams skins and run after the public ready to throw black dye over anyone that is too slow to get out of their way.   

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      Having been practiced for more than five centuries, the Diabletes de Teguise in Lanzarote is one of the Canary Island’s oldest festivals. Participants scare anyone who crosses their path with costumes that derive from traditional symbols: a horned ox’s head, a goat’s tongue and a shepherd’s bag.  

      Imágenes

      Contenido

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the capital of Tenerife and sometimes the Canary Islands.

      Spain in Russian

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      With regard to the capital status of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Canarians have not been able to resolve this issue for centuries. The dispute is between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, the two largest islands in the archipelago. Santa Cruz de Tenerife was founded in 1494, and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria a little earlier, in 1478. As a result of the dispute, the two cities are the capitals of their islands, and the capital of the entire archipelago is transferred every two years from one to another, can you imagine? In 2016, Santa Cruz rules the ball, and in the next – already La Palma.

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife will be a pleasant place for residents of big cities who are accustomed to comfortable apartments, traffic noise, boulevards and sidewalks. The population of the city is about 220 thousand people, by Russian standards it is not a very large city, but here it is the largest. In Tenerife, it is easy to get tired of the provinciality of numerous villages, so if you are looking for a holiday in a mild climate, but with a familiar urban landscape, the presence of museums and shopping centers, cinemas and a large selection of cafes and restaurants, stay in Santa Cruz. Tenerife is famous for its natural attractions, such as the active volcano Teide, the eerie but beautiful Masca and Inferno gorges, which are easily accessible from the capital. Today we will tell you more about how to fill your vacation without leaving Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

      History of the City of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      Landing in Tenerife, you find yourself on one of the oldest islands in the world and immediately feel: this place is special. It is believed that the Canary Islands “grew” from the depths of the ocean during the sinking of Atlantis. When this happened and whether Atlantis really existed, no one knows for sure, but it is known for certain that 2000 years ago, the Guanches, the legendary pioneers of these lands, settled on the site of Santa Cruz. The Silver Holy Cross (Santa Cruz) was erected here by the Spanish conquistadors in 1494, which is considered the year of foundation of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This cross can now be seen in the Museum of Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción. The capital of the island was originally the port city of Garachico in the northwest, which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Teide in 1706. No residents of Garachico were hurt, but the administrative center had to be moved to Santa Cruz, and this changed the pace of development on the eastern tip of the island.

      After the Spanish colonization, Tenerife was repeatedly attacked by the British, Danes and other Europeans. Many battles took place in Santa Cruz, but the city was never taken by the enemy.

      Peaceful today Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a city of military glory, on the coat of arms of which you will see three leopards, meaning three victories over the British invaders in the local port – in 1657, 1706 and 1797.

      Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a tourist attraction throughout Spain. It is the second largest in the world after the famous carnival in Rio. This tradition was brought here by the Spaniards from the continent, or rather, from Cadiz. Annual festivities take place all over the island, but it is in the capital that the costume show is organized at the highest level. All events that take place in the first week of February are completely free. The election of the Queen of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife from local beauties, the first procession of the queen, the main procession along the embankment (Gran Coso Apoteosis) and the comic “burial of the sardine” in the final are the main themes of the carnival. All residents and tourists take to the streets, in costumes and without, walk and dance until the morning, watch competitions of street musicians and dancers, orchestra performances, concerts and performances throughout the city.

      As part of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a children’s costume procession, a parade of vintage cars, and a temporary amusement park are installed on the waterfront. At this time, cafes and restaurants have a special menu at very attractive prices.

      Stores in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      What to do in Santa Cruz for the rest of the year, except for Easter week? There are two more important dates to know! The periods of seasonal sales, when discounts reach 70% on everything, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife are the same as on the continent: from January 6 to February 30 and from July 1 to August 30, prices will pleasantly surprise you. Not far from the city center is a large commercial center El Corte Ingles. This Spanish chain of stores is distinguished by a high-quality selection of goods and manufacturers. There is convenient parking, bars and restaurants, a grocery store, souvenirs and 7 floors of clothing and footwear stores, perfumes, sportswear and equipment, in general, shopping for every taste.

      Going shopping in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in Court Inglés, you will come across Spanish clothing brands of excellent quality, but not too expensive: Adolfo Domingues, Carolina Hererra, Roberto Verino, Purficacion Garcia. There is also a huge selection of basic brands Zara, Mango, Desigual, Jack&Jones, Pimkie, Guess, several floors are occupied by luxury items Armani, Dolce&Gabbana, Escada, Gucci, Chanel, Hermes, Fendi and others at prices slightly below continental.

      Typical Spanish products at good prices are sold at Carrefour, homewares and gifts at Alcampo, household appliances (eg cameras and lenses) should only be bought from major stores with an international warranty. Prices for electronics are slightly cheaper than Russian ones. The choice is approximately the same as in our similar stores, it is convenient to navigate.

      Other sights in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      Fans of wandering thoughtfully through the old streets will like the local Rambla, that is, the main street (Rambla de Santa Cruz). It is similar to the Rambla in Barcelona, ​​but there are much fewer tourists, pickpockets, noise and obsessive traders in everything.

      Parents with children and nature lovers are advised to visit two interesting and educational places: the Space Museum and the Palmetum.

      Museum of Science and Space (Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos) opened at 1993 at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands. It is one of the main attractions of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and is a huge hall filled with interactive exhibits that tell about how gravity works, what the principle of communicating vessels is, how the human body is arranged, optical illusions are shown here, which will interesting for children from 6 to 16 years old, there is an educational play area for the little ones. You can find out your weight on Jupiter or Mars, lift a real car with one hand, control electricity and much more. There is also a small planetarium, which is included in the price (lecture in Spanish). From Plaza España – 10 minutes by car along the TF-5 highway. The museum is open from 9:00 to 20:00 Tuesday to Saturday, Monday and Sunday closes at 17:00. Entrance – 5 euros.

      The Palmetum is another important attraction in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This is a botanical garden consisting only of palm trees! This is the best botanical collection in Europe and the most extensive collection of plants in the world. The park is divided into several zones: Cuba, Caribbean, Madagascar – in one day you can visit different parts of the world and see more than 400 species of plants, many of which are on the verge of extinction or simply very rare. Palmetum opened recently, in 2013, and occupies as much as 12 hectares. It is noteworthy that this park and botanical garden are located in the very center of the capital, on the site of a former garbage dump, which greatly spoiled the picture of the city. The park is open from 11:00 to 13:15 and from 16:00 to 17:15, Monday is a day off. Entrance – 4 euros.

      Guests of Santa Cruz of mature age will be interested in tasting Canarian cuisine in local restaurants, as well as going to the opera. The Auditorio de Tenerife is one of the most recognizable buildings in Spain, along with the futuristic buildings of the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. This is the work of the same author, Santiago Calatrava, who built the Auditorio Opera House in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 2003, the Montjuic TV Tower in Barcelona and the Alamillo Bridge in Seville in 1992, as well as many bridges and museums in different countries of Europe and the USA. The expressive aerial structure, reminiscent of a sail or a bent leaf of a plant, is an excellent example of the so-called “neo-organic architecture”, or “bio-tech”, the opposite of technological and monumental “hi-tech”.

      Auditorio de Tenerife is located in the heart of Santa Cruz de Tenerife near the port, it is simply impossible to pass by. The main hall has 1616 seats, the chamber hall has 424 seats, the acoustics in these halls is considered one of the best in the world. From the theater hall you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the ocean.

      This theater is truly unique, there is simply nothing like it in design and beauty, in terms of manufacturability and versatility. This Santa Cruz de Tenerife landmark hosts a wide range of performances for all tastes – opera, symphony concerts by Spanish and international musicians, amazing circus performances, vibrant musicals in Spanish and English, pop star concerts, as well as dramatic productions. It’s nice that tickets are not too expensive – from 15 to 80 euros.

      The beach of Las Teresitas, which also to some extent glorified Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is located outside the city. This is an idyllic paradise beach, as from the advertisement of the Bounty, with a length of 1200 meters. Of course, it is artificial, because volcanic sand is completely different. But here you seem to be in Africa without leaving the island, sand is brought here from the Sahara to please the eyes of tourists. You can get to the beach in 20 minutes by bus number 910 from Plaza España or in 15 minutes by car along the TF-11 highway. The beach has a large and free parking, many panoramic cafes and restaurants where you can watch the sunset. But the water here is considered not the cleanest. To find the best place for swimming and diving, use our author’s guide to the beaches of Tenerife.

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Guide

      Hello friends! We are starting to tell you about the cities of the island of Tenerife and the first will be its capital – Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Let’s find out the history of the city, how to get to it, get an idea of ​​the most interesting places worth visiting and develop a plan for visiting the capital for a tourist. Let’s get started!

      A bit of history

      In order to get acquainted with the city in general terms, we will describe its history, known and written a thousand times on many sites. We will not deviate from traditions, the capital is the capital. The history of Santa Cruz (Spanish for Holy Cross), as such, begins as a small fishing village, which during the 16th century turned into an important port due to its location in the closed harbor of La Laguna. In the next century, the city becomes the administrative center, and in the following – the capital of the entire archipelago.

      It should be noted that since 1927 the city of Santa Cruz (Spanish: Santa Cruz de Tenerife) has not been the only capital of the Canary archipelago. Once every four years, the autonomous parliament changes its place of work and moves to the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spanish: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) on the island of Gran Canaria.

      After the arrival of the Spaniards on the island, its development is given a new impetus and trade routes are laid through the archipelago. Due to its location, the Canary Islands were of interest not only to the Spaniards, which led to numerous attacks and attempts to conquer the islands. Until today, the Spaniards honor the most significant victories over the invaders. The three lion heads on the coat of arms of Tenerife represent three major victories: over Admiral Robert Blake in 1657, Admiral John Jennings in 1706 and Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson in 1797.

      What to see for a tourist in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      The capital is not a tourist resort at all and cannot boast of an abundance of hotels with beautiful pools, because most tourists prefer the southern part of the island with a milder climate for recreation. But for Santa Cruz, you can allocate a day for excursions, shopping and just walking. In the article about the sights of Tenerife, we already wrote about interesting places in the capital that are worth seeing.

      Here you will not find a large number of historical monuments as in La Laguna, but there is something to see, the capital is still.

      For those interested in churches and temples

      Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

      Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Spanish Iglesia de la Concepción) – this is where the Holy Cross of the Conquistadors, which we talked about at the beginning of the article, is kept. Emphasizing the historical significance of the church in the spread of Catholicism, it bears the title “Iglesia Matriz” (Mother Church), and is popularly called the “Cathedral of Santa Cruz”, although it is not a cathedral.

      Initially, a small chapel was built on the site of today’s church, later, in its place, the first church in Tenerife was erected and the first parish on the island was formed. The temple until 1638 was called the Church of the Holy Cross (Spanish: Santa Cruz), hence the name of the city. From the square where the temple is located, the construction of today’s capital began.

      Church of St. Francis of Assisi

      Second in importance, after the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the Catholic Church of St. Francis of Assisi (Spanish: Iglesia de San Francisco de Asís). It is located near the Museum of Fine Arts (Spanish: Museo Municipal De Bellas Artes).

      Masonic Temple

      Masonic Temple (Spanish: Templo Masónico de Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is a national architectural monument. The building has been closed for about 26 years, at the moment it is undergoing historical restoration and it will not be possible to get inside. The facade of the building is decorated with sphinxes, and under the roof of the building there is a bas-relief of the Masonic symbol “The All-Seeing Eye”.

      Attractions

      The symbol of the city and the most recognizable building with unusual architecture is the Auditorio de Tenerife concert hall (Spanish: Auditorio de Tenerife), which includes chamber and symphony halls. It was depicted on one of the postage stamps, and the acoustics of the hall is considered one of the best in the world.

      Very close to the Auditorio de Tenerife is the old fort Castillo Negro (Spanish: Castillo Negro) or Castillo de San Juan (Spanish: Castillo de San Juan) – the castle of St. John the Baptist, which has historical significance for the city .

      Museums

      Fans and those interested in science and history can visit the museums. Especially for them, I would not go, but passing by you can look.

      Archaeological Museum of Nature and Man (Spanish: Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre).
      For those who love archeology, geology, fossils and artifacts.

      Military Museum of the Canary Islands (Spanish: Museo Militar Regional de Canarias).
      It is here that the El Tigre cannon is exhibited, the shot of which Nelson lost his right hand (at least, it is commonly believed so).

      Museum of Contemporary Art TEA (Spanish: Tenerife Espacio de las Artes).
      Several halls for different types of art (cinema, photography, painting, etc.), as well as a library.

      Museum of Fine Arts (Spanish: Museo Municipal De Bellas Artes).
      Several galleries with a wide variety of exhibits. There are also various exhibitions.

      Squares and parks

      Plaza de España, Plaza de España

      Plaza de España (Spanish: Plaza de España) is the main and largest square in the Canary Islands. It was built on the site of the castle of San Cristobal, the walls of which have survived to this day and can be admired in the underground gallery.

      The central element in the Plaza de España is a monument – a tower (Spanish: Monumento de los Caidos) in the form of a cross with an observation deck at the top, dedicated to those who died during the civil war. Under the monument is an empty underground chapel, and next to it is a group of sculptures and a huge lake with sea water and a fountain.

      The consecration of the entire square is made in the form of garlands with lamps that look like falling drops of water. An integral part of the square is the Avenue of the Duke of St. Helena (Spanish: Alameda del Duque de Santa Elena), planted with trees.

      Plaza de la Candelaria

      Plaza de la Candelaria (Spanish: Plaza de la Candelaria) is the second square located near the Plaza de España. On it is a monument to the patroness of the Canary archipelago – the Holy Virgin of Candelaria, dating from the 18th century. Initially, the statue consisted of nine figures – four statues of Guanches (indigenous local residents of the island) guarding the Virgin Mary, four little angels riding dolphins and the Virgin Mary herself with a baby in her arms. During restoration at 1928, the angels were removed from the composition due to severe damage inflicted by English soldiers in 1825.

      Garcia Sanabria Park, Parque Garcia Sanabria

      Garcia Sanabria Park (Spanish: Parque Garcia Sanabria) is the city’s largest park, botanical garden and a favorite meeting place for residents of the capital. There is also a flowerbed with the “Flower Clock” and alleys with sculptures of the last century, and in the central square with a fountain there are sculptures of the mayor Garcia Sanabria and Dr. Gigo, thanks to whom this park was created.

      La Granja Park, Parque de La Granja

      La Granja Park (Spanish: Parque de La Granja) is an excellent park with a playground, several sculptures, rides and sports equipment.

      Palmetum Park, Palmetum

      Park Botanical Garden Palmetum (Spanish: Palmetum), built on a former city dump, today is a great place for walking and relaxing.

      Shops and shopping

      We already had an article about the peculiarities of shopping in Tenerife, where we mentioned the main shopping centers of the capital.

      • Huge mall Santa Cruz
      • El Corte Inglés Trading House
      • Meridiano (Centro Comersial Meridiano) – a classic shopping center with a cinema and Candelaria. This is a pedestrian street with many shops, among which you can find branded things. When planning walks around the capital and this street in particular, do not forget about the siesta, most shops and government offices are closed during the daytime from about 13:00 to 16:30 – 17:00.

      Entertainment in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      Most of the bars and restaurants in the capital are focused on local residents, not tourists. This is reflected both in the hours of operation and in the proposed menu of establishments, so here you will not find a vibrant nightlife.

      However, every year, during two weeks of February, the Canarians forget about work and a measured lifestyle and plunge into the festive atmosphere of the carnival. A large number of tourists come to the capital, the streets are flooded with crowds of people, divided into two categories. The first is the official participants of the carnival: musicians, costumed dance and vocal groups, up to fifty groups and more than a hundred associations. The second group is ordinary spectators, city residents and tourists.

      Preparations begin immediately after the end of the previous carnival, various choreographic festivals, competitions are held throughout the year, and the theme of the upcoming holiday is being developed.

      The celebrations themselves are divided into several stages:

      • The choice of the Carnival Queen (Spanish: Gala de Eleccion de la Reina) is a grandiose performance broadcast throughout the country.
      • The first procession is an open event called the heralding cavalcade (Spanish: Cabalgata Anunciadora), which announces the arrival of carnival in the city. Tickets for this procession are not needed, people will walk the streets of the city like a multi-colored snake and rejoice at the beginning of the holidays.
      • The main procession of the carnival is the key event of the holiday, which should not be missed. It will last more than four hours, end with fireworks and festivities until the morning.
      • Burial of the sardine (Spanish: Entierro de la Sardina) symbolizes the end of the carnival – an ironic procession with a huge cardboard stuffed sardine, which is burned in the square, in general, the Spanish “Shrovetide”.

      A detailed program of Carnival 2016 events can be viewed or downloaded here.

      City beach of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      Most of the coast of Santa Cruz is occupied by the port and there is absolutely nowhere to swim. Therefore, Playa de las Teresitas (Spanish: Playa de las Teresitas), located a few kilometers from the capital in the town of San Andres, is considered urban. A barrier pier has been built along the beach, so there are practically no waves there and the water warms up faster.

      Playa de las Teresitas is the only beach on the island with golden sand brought from the Sahara in the 70s. The beach is wide, well-equipped and has a length of about 1200 meters. The only thing I don’t like there is the constant wind and fine sand in the face (perhaps we were so lucky with the weather).

      It can be reached from the city by car or public transport.

      Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      Port of the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife is rightfully considered the largest port in Tenerife and the second most important port in Spain. It leads in terms of passenger traffic, is the largest fishing port in the Canary Islands, and thanks to it, communication is maintained not only with the rest of the islands of the Canary archipelago, but also with mainland Spain.

      How to get to the capital

      In the video you can see the main sights and see Santa Cruz de Tenerife from a bird’s eye view.

      Of course, this is not all that is in Santa Cruz, but only the most basic. In the future, we will talk about other interesting places, so do not miss the updates of our blog. And finally, you can download the official tourist map of the city.

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife: see the best carnival in Europe!..

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife is not just a popular resort, but also the official capital of the island of Tenerife and the entire Spanish province of the same name. Even if tourists do not choose this city as their home base, they certainly come here during excursions.

      Figures and facts

      Santa Cruz de Tenerife is located in the northeastern part of the island. Its residential quarters are compactly located on the gentle slope of one of the mountains. The streets of the city, like streams, descend to the sea.

      The population of the capital of Tenerife is, according to the latest census, just over 220 thousand people. This is a fairly large city, where all the authorities of Tenerife are located, including the provincial parliament.

      It should be noted that there are quite a few settlements in the world with the name Santa Cruz (in Spanish – the Holy Cross). That is why, and also to emphasize the status of the capital, at one time the second part was added to the name – de Tenerife. However, local residents and tourists, of course, are limited in everyday speech to only the first half of the beautiful, but too long name of the city.

      Beaches Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      In the capital of Tenerife, in fact, there is no beach. There are several of them near the city. The most famous and popular are Taganana and Teresitas.

      The first is famous for its dark, volcanic sand, and the second sand is of a different color – yellow. True, it is imported, it was delivered back in the 70s by barges from the Sahara desert itself. In fact, this is an artificially ennobled one and a half kilometer section of the coast, which is very fond of European tourists. But the Russians, whom you will not be surprised by the yellow color of the sand, prefer the “native” beaches of Tenerife with dark sand, which is unusual for our eyes. Exotic after all!..

      We add that in the vicinity of the capital Tenerife there are quite a few diving centers. For lovers of underwater beauty, the Devils and Garden coral reefs, as well as the underwater caves of Groupers Cave and La Cueva del Roquete, are of interest.

      Attractions and shopping

      During a walk around the capital of Tenerife, you can see the best local architectural examples – the Tenerife government building, the Carta Palace, the churches of St. Francis and Iglesia La Concepción, where, by the way, the same Holy Cross of the conquistadors that gave the city its name is kept.

      Art lovers should definitely check out the Municipal Museum of Painting and Sculpture, which exhibits the work of many celebrities.

      Tourists from Russia are always happy to take pictures against the backdrop of the quaint opera building – Auditorio Tenerife and the local twin towers. These skyscrapers will surely remind many of Dubai.

      Note that a tour of the capital can be combined with a pleasant activity for lovely ladies – shopping. After all, the capital of the island noticeably surpasses all its resorts in the number of outlets and boutiques. There are especially many of those on Plaza La Candelaria and on the pedestrian Calle de Castillo, which originates from the main square.

      Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

      Every year, in February, carnival performances are held in a number of cities around the world. The most large-scale and colorful of those, as everyone knows, take place in Brazil. But the carnival in Tenerife is considered the second largest after its counterpart from Rio de Janeiro. Nice and Venice, surprisingly, are inferior to the carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

      In general, carnival processions traditionally cover the entire island of Tenerife, all its cities and resorts. However, the most grandiose performance, crowning the carnival, always takes place in the capital. Many tourists come to the Canary Islands just for him. You have the opportunity to follow their example by combining a trip to the carnival with a pleasant beach holiday in the Canary Islands, now available to a much wider range of tourists than before …

    Coat of arms of Santa Cruz

    Coat of arms

    As the name suggests, the city is located on the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), in its northeast, to be precise.

    Santa Cruz by the standards of the world’s megacities is a small town of about 200 thousand people. Even in the list of cities in Spain, it is in the honorable 22nd place in terms of population.


    History

    First
    settlements were in the area
    over 2 thousand years ago. The island was inhabited
    Guanches are the indigenous people of these places.
    Many archaeological finds
    discovered in Tenerife, now
    form the collection of the local museum.

    Map 1588

    In 1723, the city of Santa Cruz becomes a real stronghold of the island, a fortress that Admiral Nelson himself could not take in 1797, and also the capital of the Canary Islands since 1833. This status of the only capital lasted until 1927 inclusive.

    In general, Spain competed with England for a long time for these islands. Since the 17th century, the British and their famous sailors tried to take it by storm, cunning and flattery, but the Spanish fortresses built by prudent conquistadors became a serious obstacle to these conquests.

    Location
    islands is such that in the Middle Ages they
    were an excellent transit point for
    most popular trade routes
    and owning them gave advantages
    over other great competitors.

    These
    great victories in English
    conquerors found their embodiment
    on the coat of arms of the island in the form of three leopards
    as a symbol of the three most significant
    won battles.

    Beaches, swimming pools

    Cesar Manrique Marine Park

    There are no beaches in the city, but the locals living in the capital Santa Cruz still have a place for swimming. Near the beautiful white building of the Auditorio, which is built in the form of a knight’s helmet, there is a recreational area Cesar Manrique Marine Park ( Parque Marítimo César Manrique ). This space is a pool with sea water, where both children and adults can swim or bathe, because there are practically no waves here. The government of the Canary Islands did their best in this matter and invited the famous architect, artist and sculptor Cesar Manrique to participate in the creation of the Marine Park. Therefore, in the park you can see bizarre metal sculptures that move from the influence of the wind.

    Cesar Manrique Marine Park

    La Caleta de Negros Bay

    Near the Cesar Manrique Marine Park there is a small beach in the Black Bay – “ La Caleta de Negros “. The beach is not cultural, there are few people.

    See on the map: La Caleta de Negros

    Las Teresitas Beach

    In addition, the locals are not deprived of a real cultural beach, located 9 km from the city and this is Las Teresitas beach. It is known primarily for its yellow sand, which is not typical for the volcanic island of Tenerife. After all, the sand is mostly gray or black. So, the sand was brought to Las Teresitas beach from Africa. The government of the Canary Islands wanted to do something pleasant for the local population, since almost the entire coastal zone near the capital was used for the construction of the main seaport of the island. The beach is gently sloping, with paid sunbeds, umbrellas, changing cabins, fresh water shower, toilet, lifeguard, entrance to the water for the disabled, bar, free parking.

    Life in the capital of the island is measured, calm and without fuss. Many work in the tourism industry, including a daily trip to the south of the island to popular resorts. There is not much tourism in the city, but there is, and this is most likely due to the lack of beaches in the immediate vicinity. Almost the entire coastline is occupied by the main seaport, which is also a cruise, transit, commercial, fishing and sports port. The rest of the mass works in the service sector, although this also includes the tourism mentioned above and in the trade sector, which has an important role for the entire archipelago.
