Here you can see most of the park’s attraction on video so you know what you’ll see and experience inside.

Salou and La Pineda

In our opinion, the resorts of Salou and La Pineda are best suited for families with children, around which the main children’s entertainment is located.

• Port Aventura theme park (Salou)
• Bosc Aventura children’s park
• Aquopolis La Pineda Water Park

First of all, it is impossible not to talk about the grandiose entertainment complex and one of the most famous theme parks in Central Europe – PortAventura, which is located on the outskirts of Salou. This includes the amusement park of the same name, the large water park Costa Caribe Aquatic, as well as an extensive network of hotels, inns, shops and restaurants.

Each attraction has age and height restrictions, and minors are often allowed to ride only in the presence of adults. However, the smallest tourists do not need to be upset – Sesame Street operates in the park especially for them. Here, kids from 3 years old, as well as their parents, will meet their favorite characters of the popular TV show and a lot of entertainment for any age: carousels, swings, autodrome, trampoline, Ferris wheel and much more.

Right in the city of Salou is the children’s park Bosc Aventura, created especially for little fidgets. Segway rides, paintball, a rope town among trees, as well as exciting games and team competitions under the supervision of experienced instructors are waiting for children from 7 years old. Older children in the company of their parents should definitely visit the Salou karting center with several tracks of varying difficulty and a free fall attraction.

Activities for children in the Costa Dorada are not limited to amusement parks. In the resort of La Pineda there is a huge aqua complex “Aquopolis La Pineda” with a total area of ​​​​more than 110,000 square meters. The territory of the complex includes a water park, a dolphinarium, play areas and playgrounds, as well as numerous eateries, shops and souvenir shops.

The youngest visitors will love the children’s pools with bizarre multicolored fountains and miniature water slides. At the local dolphinarium, children of all ages, along with their parents, will have a lot of unforgettable experiences in fun performances with the participation of dolphins, killer whales and fur seals.

Costa Adeje Tourist Information and Travel Guide

Tenerife: Travel Guide | Privilege Club

WHY I LOVE TENERIFE

Because it offers all the perks of the Iberian country with the wonderful climate of the Caribbean. If you already live in Europe and your number one reason to travel is weather then Tenerife is your best option.

Belonging to Spain but off the coast of Africa, Tenerife is the largest island of the Canary Islands.

If you’re looking for contrasting elements while still being able to spend your vacation surrounded by a relaxing ambience, Tenerife is the ideal choice for you. With lush forests in the north, gigantic cliffs at Los Gigantes and landscapes that rival those of the moon with varying landscapes featuring deserts, mountains and the famous Volcano Teide, the highest in Spain, found at Teide National Park. Don’t forget the island sports its number of idyllic beaches, catering to all preferences.

GETTING THERE

Visit from December to February to experience pleasantly warmth weathers. During deep winter you can go nearby El Teide to catch a dazzling picture of the snow-covered peak.

Surfers and hikers will particularly want to visit in Spring between March and April.

From May to September visitors can expect up to eleven hours of sunlight

And even between October and November the average temperature will remain close to 21ºC.

Airlines cater flights to two different airports; depending where you’re coming from you can either arrive at Tenerife South or Tenerife North.

Insider’s Tip: Your trip to Tenerife can easily become your end stop for a vacation in multiple cities if you make the most out of today’s low cost airlines.

WHAT TO DO

Alternate between the many sights in the island, festivals, museums and excursions! Indulge in that long due romantic getaway, where the island appeals goes romance all the way, with jaw-dropping beaches, exuberant parties all year around, traditional villages, hiking trails and geological wonders like Montaña Amarilla, and the night sky featuring diamond-like stars. Surely, any photographer’s delights all in one place.

Insider’s Tip: If you will be visiting around February, don’t skip the local carnival festivities held in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Highly regarded as the second most popular and internationally known carnival, after the one held in Rio de Janeiro.

FOR A FAMILY TRIP

It is highly believed that Canarians dote on children; therefore many of the available attractions are very much family friendly. Just to name of the top attraction found in the island:

Kids might enjoy taking the Mount Teide cable-car 200m off the summit, where, if weather permits, you’ll enjoy outstanding views, including four of the other islands.

Plan your city tour of Puerto La Cruz, the cradle of tourism in Canary Islands.

Visit Loro Parque in Puerto La Cruz, a wildlife park with a dolphinarium, aquarium, sharks and all kinds of large and small exotic animals. Some fascinating exhibits, include Planet Penguin, the Aquarium, the Katandra tee trops walks and Animal Embassy. You can plan your visit to Siam Park and Loro Parque with a twin ticket.

Siam Park, the biggest park in Europe and located in Costa Adeje. A must for the water loving!

Costa Martianez is not left behind, also located in Puerto La Cruz and known for its large pools just beside the coast.

Head a bit north to San Cristobal de La Laguna and visit the Museum of Science and Cosmos, famous for its interactive attractions and kid friendly environment.

Stargaze – the Teide Observatory sports state-of-the-art solar telescopes, which you can peer through during a guided tour (ages 8 and up) or during the free summer open day with its children’s activities.

Insider’s Tips: Try purchasing tickets that cover more than one attraction to save. Those with children 8 and over could also spend the night at the top of Teide, at the Altavista Refuge. Staying in one big town like Puerto La Cruz or Santa Cruz is optimal to find transportation heading to all the sites mentioned.

FOR THE BEACH LOVER

Tenerife features beaches located in tourist destinations such as Puerto La Cruz and Costa Adeje. It also present a number of hidden gems that sit off the beaten track. Just to name a few listed at the top of our list:

Playa de Las Americas: – The most central beach along Tenerife’s coast. Playa de Las Americas has a reputation as the islands’ party capital to boot, and not for no good reason.

El Medano and La Tejita – in El Medano and ideal for water-sports enthusiasts.

Playa de las Teresitas just outside Santa Cruz featuring a mile long beach of golden sand.

Playa de Las Vistas is situated to the South of Tenerife. Just one of the great beaches that make up Los Cristianos in Arona. It is one of the most commercial as well.

Insider’s Tip: If renting a car is not an option, hop aboard one of the green TITSA buses to reach destinations across the island. Buy a bono (bus pass) to save around 50% on your bus journeys.

FOR THE FOOD LOVER

Similar to other sister coastal cities of the country, local cuisine includes lots of seafood, tapas and paella.

An Exciting Travel Guide for Spain’s Hidden Gem » Perfect Day Somewhere

Thanksgiving travel in the US can be hectic and unnecessarily expensive. For those of you who hate turkey like me, here’s a tip: go to Europe off-season instead. Seriously. For a $300 roundtrip, you can see the most crowded touristy places without the crowds. Yes, you might be sacrificing a little bit of sunshine, but I’ll take empty Las Ramblas or the Vatican over summer crowds any day. Long story short, this is how the idea of going to Tenerife was born. My parents and I plan our travels for the week of Thanksgiving and for the past couple of years we were able to have amazing vacations at half the cost of summer travels.

Having been to Spain numerous times, I decided it was time to show my parents this (American) hidden gem. We snatched $300 tickets from New York and flew to Madrid. From there, we took our fancy $15 Ryanair flight to Tenerife Sur, the southern airport of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. We wanted a little more sunshine than New York and some good food instead of turkey. 

Living in the states, it’s not always as obvious to hear about vacation spot stereotypes of Europe. After booking a trip to Tenerife and starting some initial planning, I instantly got apprehensive about this “relaxing” vacation. Every blog mostly focused on the drunk Brit and German atmosphere of the main tourist spots there… It’s easy to say that I did not have many expectations for the island. Yet, to my surprise, Tenerife ended up being a lot more perfect than what people “warned” you about.

Tenerife ended up being amazing! With this guide, I bring you logistics, top places to see, and most importantly, itineraries to download at the bottom of this page!

Quick Tenerife logistics

Important links for your travels

Before traveling, make sure to read the most up-to-date rona information from the official sources below. Note the specific requirements may require a booster or a test within a specific window. Note that Tenerife does not have the same requirements as Spain.

• Canary Islands COVID information
• Safe Spain
• CDC recommendations for US citizens

Suggested length of stay in Tenerife

An absolute minimum of 3 days is enough to experience the best places in Tenerife. This is how I would plan your time there: at least one of each should be spent exploring the natural wonders of this island like Mt. Teide for example, then I would plan to visit a good beach and lastly plan some time in a touristy area like Los Cristianos in the south or Santa Cruz in the north. Also, don’t forget to squeeze in some relaxation time as Tenerife is the perfect place for that.

I found this island to be very calm and noticed the relaxed way of life as soon as I landed. 3 days in Tenerife will be enough to get the gist of that if you’re an active traveler, however, staying around 5 days would be ideal. You’ll get to take things a little slower and soak in this volcanic beauty.

Size & Transport

This is a relatively small island if you have a car and renting a car is almost a must if you’d like to see more than just the main cities. Although you can drive all around in a day, I would definitely not recommend that. The roads can range from highways to small narrow mountain roads. Driving there is a bit of a challenge though, the narrow turns can make your stomach drop, especially when a large bus passes you on aside. If you don’t have a car, buses can get you from point A to point B, but with the rental prices of the cars on the island, trust me and just rent one.

There are two airports in Tenerife, one in the North and one in the South. It honestly doesn’t matter where you land if you’re covering the whole island, just have a logistics plan ready for which direction to see the island. The north is greener yet cooler, the south is more rocky and hot.

Another option is to take a ferry! The northern part of the island has the Santa Cruz port connecting Gran Canaria and mainland Spain, and the southern port of Los Cristianos will have access to other islands of La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro. A good option but tickets can cost more than just taking a plane. 

Roads in Tenerife

Food

If you’re eating in Los Cristianos or Playa de las Americas, you’re probably having pizza or burgers at foreign-owned restaurants. If that’s the type of food you like, research the right places and you won’t be disappointed. For more authentic Canarian dishes, I suggest the following posts by my fellow travelers, this restaurant guide, or this guide here 🙂 Drinks are dirt cheap so getting a little tipsy at any time guarantees a perfect day in Tenerife.

People & Safety

Most of the people that you will encounter as a tourist are probably ex-pats from Germany, Britain, or Italy. Needless to say, all Airbnb, restaurant, and service workers were extremely friendly. We met a couple of locals who also turned out to be very hospitable and open to others. People mostly speak Spanish on the island so make sure to have some basics down as a lot of locals won’t speak English.

Generally, Tenerife is said to be a safe island but I personally had a bad experience because my car got robbed while parked at a viewpoint. My phone, camera, money, and various credit cards were stolen. Although my car was parked in a very public place, the thieves must have been watching us and knew exactly when to strike.

I know that this is not a reflection on the island as these instances can happen anywhere, but it’s hard not to remember and associate that experience with the place. My advice to you will be obvious, never ever leave personal items in the car and always get travel insurance! I ended up filing a claim and getting the cost of the car repair as well as my stolen items reimbursed. The car was covered under my Chase Saphire card and my items under Allianz Travel Insurance.

If ever happens to you take the following steps:

• Call the police. In my case, there was no signal in the mountains so we drove to the nearest town and located a police station. Make sure to get a police report!
• Take pictures and make a detailed list of what was stolen.
• Go to the rental place and submit a report. They will exchange the car for you and make you pay for the damage upfront if you used your card insurance.
• File a claim with your insurance company for the stolen items and car rental insurance for whichever policy you used.
• In a month or so, you should get your check in the mail.

This is how we were parked and this is what we returned to after 5 minutes of exploring.

Hotels

Where you stay will depend on your budget and expectation of activities. Options range from all-inclusive resorts to small family-owned places to literal farms (fincas), to Airbnbs, and even hostels. I opted out for an Airbnb in Tenerife because being the smart, budget-friendly traveler that I am, I found some pretty awesome homes, one in the south of the island and one in the north. This allowed me to have two good bases for exploring the island and enough personal space compared to a hotel. If you’re not going to lounge by the pool all day long, I personally recommend the Airbnb option. It gives you more room, amazing views, and more flexibility.

Sightseeing options

Aside from a couple of main attractions on this island, in terms of sightseeing spots, I would not say there is an abundance of things to do in Tenerife. Simply put, there are many nature-related activities, beach spots, small touristy towns, attraction parks, or a normal amount of activities you’d expect from an island. Below I bring you highlights of awesome things to do there. Don’t forget to scroll down for a downloadable itinerary for your travels!

Perfect Things To Do In Tenerife

Tenerife is a true tourist destination because it has something for each type of traveler. If you’re a true “relaxer” and simply want an all-inclusive hotel stay, you got it. Or, if you prefer exploring, simply rent a car or put on some good hiking shoes. Budget backpacker? Find some basic hostels and cheap beers too!

If you love spring-like weather, decent outdoor activities, and some good drinking spots, you’re in for a treat. And no don’t worry, it’s not all drunk Europeans in the streets. Tenerife is the perfect destination for any type of traveler. Here are some must-see places in Tenerife broken down by category.

Natural Attractions in Tenerife

Mount Teide

Mount Teide is a volcano located in the center of the island. It is the highest point in all of Spain and yes, it is still an active volcano. Having a history of erupting every 100 years and the last eruption in 1909, we’re still waiting for the next sign of activity from it. The volcano is located in a national park and there are a couple of different ways to see it. The simplest is renting a car and driving through the park. It will take you about an hour to two hours, depending on how many stops you take. There are many viewing points and honestly, you will not get bored of them as they each offer a different viewpoint.

Mt Teide Park

Reaching the summit of Mount Teide

If you’d like to see the Tenerife from above, a good option is to take a cable car to the top of Mount Teide. The availability varies and you generally need to book weeks to months in advance depending on the season. From there you can climb further (1hr) to the top but you will need a special permit. For experienced hikers who want more of a challenge, they can begin their ascend from a lower point (5+ hours) all the way to the top, again with a special permit. There is a hostel-like refuge up top that requires prior reservations which allows you to see the one-of-a-kind sunrise from the top. Look on the official Mt. Teide website which does an excellent job of explaining all of the hiking options you have. 

Notice the paraglider in the second photo!

I took the option of a guided tour there which includes a drive up (not all the way up but still pretty high) to see the sunset, then a small break for dinner, and lastly a stargazing experience. It was a unique way to see it but it was indeed very touristy. Mt. Teide is known for being one of the best viewing spots in the world for stargazing. There are many companies that offer this excursion so pick one based on your budget and personal preferences. The companies offer similar itineraries but pay close attention to what is included (pick up location, number of people going, food and drinks, return). I like this option if you’re traveling with a family and don’t want to worry so much about the logistics of times and places to park, the company will take care of all of it.

Los Gigantes

This giant rock formation rising up to 800 meters will leave you in awe. It’s not an all-day activity but definitely something amazing to see. There is a little marina with restaurants and shops for a little pause for your journey. Many recommend Mirador Arichipenque as a good viewing spot. Driving there will leave you dizzy so make sure to take some motion sickness pills. There is also a black sand beach in the area Los Guios Beach, a public heated pool, and some natural pools too.

Masca Valley

Masca Village is a beautiful village in the mountains that is worth making a trip to. Since these two landmarks are near each other, they’re worth seeing together. Just getting there is quite stunning. It requires driving on very curvy roads in the middle of the mountains. There are some walking trails available for those wanting to take a little bit of a detour, or just taking a small break at one of the local restaurants to admire the scenery is enough to get the gist of this amazing place. 

Anaga Park

Driving through this park on TF-12 is one of the most scenic drives you will do in Tenerife aside from Mount Teide. The roads are scary but the views are stunning. You can follow this road from or to Las Teresitas beach. Trust me, you will not regret this drive. If you’re more into hiking, there are hiking trails you can access.  

Icod de los Vinos

Located on the north-eastern side of the island, this spot is mostly known for the Drago Milenario tree which is hypothesized to be around 1000 years old. Although the tree is pretty impressive, if you’re located on the other side of the island, I would not personally go out of my way to see it. The town is small and cute with some restaurants, but overall there isn’t much to do there.

Beaches in Tenerife

Playa las Américas

This is the most known beach on the island of Tenerife. It is full of restaurants, bars, obnoxious happy hours and a lot of people but in my opinion, it is just something you have to see and experience. Places are popular for a reason and there is nothing wrong with falling for that tourist trap sometimes. The beach is beautiful, the sand is nice and warm, the water is clean and there are plenty of lounge chairs available. Even the little beach promenade is a nice activity to do. I don’t care what the reputation is, I liked that spot very much.  Go to Veronica’s strip for good nightlife.

Playa de los Cristianos

Beaches, amazing sand, lounge chairs, resorts and hotels, restaurants, bars, shops you name it Los Cristianos has it. People? Oh, yea. It has them too. But if you don’t want to miss out on the liveliness and Las Americas seems like a little too much, come here. Since it is one of the most popular spots, during peak times you might want to head out early to get a good spot. However, if this is your vibe, you won’t be disappointed. 

Playa del Duque

A smidge north of Los Cristianos, you can also find this nice little beach. With beautiful sand, clean water, and a slightly less busy spot compared to its neighbors, this could be a great choice for your southern island beach visit. 

Playa de las Teresitas

Arguably the most known beach after Cristianos and Las Americas in Tenerife. It’s on the northern side of the island but it’s beautifully situated near the mountains. There are plenty of little booths that rent our chairs and sell “beach snacks” and drinks. The water is clear and the views are great. Very relaxing and highly recommended! 

Family time at Playa las Teresitas

Playa de la Teija

Located at the southern tip of the island near the Sur airport, it’s a nice little spot to visit if you’re in the area. The backdrop mountain gives it a little character in a rather dry, volcano-ey spot. There isn’t much happening in terms of activities nor are the options of restaurants. Still, it is very natural and a nice escape from overcrowded beaches that pop up during peak season. 

Playa de la Arena

If you like black sand beaches, you’ll love this place. Located in a somewhat busy resort area, it is also close to Masca and Los Gigantes. The vibrant palm trees add to the beachy vibe and you can definitely score some good happy hour deals in the area. 

Playa Abama

A little more south of Los Gigantes, this small beach is protected by rock formations on both sides. You can find the famous Ritz-Carlton nearby if you’d like to escape the one euro beer climate. Parking may be difficult unless you’re a hotel guest there. 

Tourist Spots

Los Cristianos & Playa las Americas

Not going to lie, both are heavy tourist areas that are catered to an average traveler. With that said, however, it is still a very entertaining area you’re looking to get a little sun on this short trip, start at this beach and admire the nice beachfront hotels and restaurants. Both of these are next to each other and you can walk along the beach from one area to another. Los Cristianos is a more quiet area catering to an older more “calm” crowd while Playa las Americas is a more loud, happy hour crowd. Both little towns are worth visiting on your holiday.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Santa Cruz was one of my favorite spots in Tenerife. With a more Canarian vibe, you can enjoy some restaurants, bars, and shops. The small parks in the city and all its nature make the city exciting to explore. Some notable things to see would be Plaza de España, Auditorio, Mercado de Nuestra Senora de Africa, Calle Castillo, Iglesia de San Francisco de Asís and just simply walking the town. It has a very different feel compared to the two tourist hot spots mentioned above and I found it quite relaxing.

La Laguna

This beautiful town is a little smaller than Santa Cruz, but also a lot more charming. It’s worth a spot for lunch with some nice strolls around its colonial structure.

Not so Perfect Commercial Attractions

Loro Parque

Although I am personally not a fan of zoos, this park could be a great option to explore if you have kids or you want to see a lot of animals. This is the biggest attraction in the Canaries. 

Siam Park

This is a very large water park with a high rate of visitors. People love it and so will you if you’re looking for an all-day of fun. It rates very highly on all travel boards and people enjoy this for their family time. It is located in Costa Adeje near Playa Las Americas.

Siam Mall

If you’d like to shop, this will be the perfect place for you. Located in the southern part of the island in Costa Adeje near the Siam Park, for those who enjoy shopping as part of their traveling, make sure to make a stop here.

Two Perfect Days in Tenerife

Two days in Tenerife is considered a very short stay but I think with a proper plan, you will be able to see some of the major highlights of the island. Again, renting a car is a must to get the most out of the island. My itinerary starts off with a day full of natural sights on day one, moving onto more relaxing beach and city activities on day two.

Three Perfect Days in Tenerife

Three days on the island is enough to see all the major spots. The visits are quick but taking longer pauses to enjoy each part is doable. On the first day, you will focus on all outdoor, natural attraction sights as they simply cannot be missed when visiting this island. Day two is more relaxing with some beach time and exploration of the more touristy cities which in my opinion, should be experienced despite their basic reputation. For day three activities, I centered them in the northern part, which is a more green area compared to the volcanic south.

Travel Guide of Tenerife | LCT Europe

Tenerife, the island of contrasts, stands out for its spectacular nature in every corner. It is the largest island in the Canary archipelago and one of the most renowned worldwide, among other things because of the presence of the highest peak in Spain, Teide National Park, the heart of Tenerife and the Canary Islands. It is the perfect tourist destination, because it is much more than sun and beach, believe it or not. It is a place with an incredible heritage, history and a great variety of leisure activities to enjoy either alone, as a couple or with the family; as this island has plans for everyone.

It is difficult to summarize in a few words the essence of Tenerife as it covers great possibilities of being one of your favorite destinations if you decide to come to visit. Perfect geographical location for stargazing in a unique environment, unique native flora and fauna in the world, one of the most recognized gastronomy of the Spanish territory, a wide range of tourism and the warmth and friendliness of its people, make Tenerife a perfect destination for your holidays. Furthermore, all this is highlighted by the sustainable viability that the island of Tenerife follows, an example of sustainability with its environment and resources. 

In Tenerife you can do what you like best any day of the year, as it has a perfect climate almost all year round (sometimes it rains). You can see the whales in the wild not far from its shores, take a photo on the highest peak in Spain, Teide and see the historic center of the Laguna among others …

Why visit Tenerife?

Without a doubt, the main reason to visit Tenerife is the climate, as this island of those lucky enough to live there enjoys an average temperature of 21ºC all year round. With such a perfect climate there is no excuse to enjoy all the beauty that Tenerife has to offer. Enjoy Siam Park, go hiking, watch dolphins and whales in freedom, enjoy its countless beaches and, above all, you will have the chance to visit the Teide National Park and climb to the peak of Teide, the highest point in Spain.

Given the characteristics of Tenerife, it is probably the most diverse island of all the Canary Islands and the one that brings together a greater and more varied offer of leisure and culture in all its extension. Activities around Teide (hiking, observatory of Teide, cable car to Teide), visit the great theme parks of Tenerife as the water park Siam Park (the best water park in the world) or the best zoo in Europe as the Loro Parque; visit the most important cities of Tenerife as the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the tourist city par excellence as Puerto de la Cruz or La Laguna, declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1999, and many more activities you can do in Tenerife. 

Due to the extension of the island of Tenerife, it is recommended to divide the trip into three parts: What to see in Tenerife North, What to see in the south of Tenerife and finally, what to see in the center of Tenerife

If you first decide to travel to the north of Tenerife you can not fail to visit the cities of Puerto de la Cruz or walk through the historic center of San Cristobal de La Laguna, as well as visit Garachico or discover the Anaga Rural Park.  

When you visit the south of Tenerife you may think you are somewhere else, but no, it is still Tenerife. Perfect place to disconnect and have a great time on the spectacular beaches with a multitude of activities to do, as well as a great offer of leisure and nightlife such as Costa Adeje or Playa de las Americas. It is also highly recommended to spend at least one day in Los Cristianos.

This island hides secrets that would fascinate any expert traveler, filling it with unique experiences of Tenerife.

Tenerife Travel Guide- All you need to know before you go!

Tenerife is a beautiful, sunny and diverse island. That’s a place you can relax, but also spend time actively! We prepared Tenerife travel guide, which contains practical information about the island and everything you need to know before you go!

Location – Tenerife Travel Guide

Tenerife is a part of Canary Islands archipelago and geographically belongs to Africa, but it’s actually a part of a Spain. If you are citizen of European Union countries you are not going to need passport to get in, ID is enough, because it is a part of EU. Tenerife is a volcanic island with very varied landscape. Southern part looks like a desert, but North is lush green and differential.

How to get in? – Tenerife Travel Guide

Plane is easiest and most comfortable way to travel to Tenerife. On the island there are two airports- Tenerife Sur (close to the resorts like Las Americas) and Tenerife Norte in surroundings of capitol city Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Majority of planes landing on Tenerife South, airport  serves such airlines as: Ryanair, WizzAir, Norwegian, Aer Lingus, Lufthansa, Easy Jet and much, much more! If you have a lot of time and want to get in with your own car you can think about ferry (we found two lines from Spain – Huelva and Kadyks), it’s also possible to travel between Canary Islands by ferries.

Means of transport – Tenerife Travel Guide

In our opinion the cheapest and best way to travel around Tenerife is a rental car. Roads are in a good condition, gasoline is cheap and car rental is cheap- so why not? We paid 100 for 6 days, we have chosen Autorisen car rental and we were satisfied. In Masca we met Swedish guy who were travelling by bus- he had to ask us for a lift to the next town, so you can guess how public means of transport works there. Ticket prices for short routes are around 1,5 euro, but longer are more expensive, so it’s probably all together it is not worth it. We saw buses in Masca and one going very close to the cable car for El Teide, so you probably go anywhere by bus if you want.

Weather – Tenerife Travel Guide

You can get a good weather all year round! Temperatures are on a similar level during a year, average temperatures in January are between 14-20 degrees, in August between 21-29 degrees. We visited island on the beginning of the March (Dawid was there also in May and December) and it was warm enough to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts. Few times we checked forecast and it was 20 degrees, but on thermometer was 25 degrees.

In the “winter” months evenings are chilly, but still nice. Wind on the island could be very strong and something called “calima” happens. Calima is a hot air with dust and sand blowing from Sahara, it could destroy whole holidays. Generally warmer and drier is a south part of the Island and North is cooler and more often wet this was the scenario we were expecting, but in fact we have had more sunshine in the North, so can’t take it for granted.

Accomodation – Tenerife Travel Guide

In our opinion it’s worth to stay in Nothern part of island, where is less touristy and you can feel like a local. We regret we didn’t book a night in La Laguna, town seems to be filled with locals only. If you like resorts and you don’t mind crowds, tourists and you are planning mainly sun bathing on the beach you should consider Los Cristianos and Las Americas. Some luxury hotels you can also find in La Caleta. Chilly, relaxing atmosphere with cheaper accommodation (especially in hostels) you can find in El Medano.

We stayed in Panoramico hotel in Adeje with a beautiful view, but we weren’t fully satisfied. They demanded payment for pool towels and iron rentals (of course we survived without it). Second part of our stay we spent in Casa Bioclimatica near  El Medano and it was stunning and very different! At the beginning we were a bit disappointed- surrounding of wind mills, airport and rope platforms wasn’t a dream one, but after few days we felt in love with this place! Ultra Modern houses and feeling like on a post apocalyptic movie plan – it was something that we experienced first time  and we could stay there forever.

For who? – Tenerife Travel Guide

You’re wrong if you thing Tenerife is only for british and german pensioners. Older people feels great due to climate which is mild and it is not so hot, but we’re recommending Tenerife for everyone! Families with kids, adventure lovers and people who are looking for fun and party- everyone can find something good!

Worth to visit – Tenerife Travel Guide

– El Teide volcano
– Sanatorio de Abona, El Medano, Candelaria
– Anaga Mountains, Benijo  and La Laguna
– Garachico, Icod de los Vines, Puerto de La Cruz and La Orotava
– Los Gigantes and Masca

Untypical activities – Tenerife Travel Guide

If you’re not interesting in beaches you can find wide range of activities like:

– bike rental – road or MTB (Bike point in Las Americas is highly recommended by us! Dawid even bought there his bike and they support us with transport )
– ski jets
– dolphins and whale watching
– trekking – there’s numbers of trekking trails
– diving
– surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing – El Medano is a perfect place for kite and windsurfing, surfers we saw also in Puerto de la Cruz
– heli tours- if you have thick wallet, because we’re sure that island from above have to look incredible!

Where to eat – Tenerife Travel Guide

There you can find information about what you have to try, and there we wrote about places worth to visit.

Where to shop – Tenerife Travel Guide

If you’re on a budget we are recommending markets like Mercadona and SuperDino.

Interesting facts – Tenerife Travel Guide

– Locals are super friendly and well adapted to tourist as it is their main income flow and you cannot communicate without any Spanish which was our case
– Carnival in Tenerife is happening with a big bang and it is one of the most popular globally but we are not quite sure why is is happening when in other countries you already have Great Lent
– Loro Park where you can watch dolphin shows is not really animal friendly so we are not recommending it. We haven’t gone there but we wouldn’t go anywhere else either. Check out this movie.
– If you are planning renting a car we recommend smaller types due to windy and narrow roads and parking (our car got scratched while parked)
– On the Island you can find natural beaches with Black sand as well as artificial ones with Sand from Sahara (Playa de las Teresitas)

Tour description

Tenerife North is a treasure trove of authentic Canarian life. Here I propose to explore Icod de los Vinos – the city where the famous dragon tree, huge banana fields and the oldest buildings of the island are located. My stories about the habits and life of the locals and a walk around the city will open the real Tenerife.

What awaits you

Fascinating about significant buildings
You will see the Church of San Marcos – the oldest on the island. Hear the story of the silver cross that was kept here and admire the interiors of the medieval Christian monastery. Then you will go to the public library: I will tell you what was in its building before and explain how the statue of Neptune in the courtyard of the library is connected with Italian sailors. We will also find the lost pyramid of the city – you will find out why these stone structures are remarkable and how they appeared.

Amazing about the nature of Tenerife
Our acquaintance with the north of the island will not do without the famous dragon tree. You will see a 1000 year old plant and visit banana fields. You will understand the intricacies of growing fruit and be surprised at how bananas look at the initial stage of ripening. After – I will bring you to the safest beach in the north. Here you will sunbathe and swim in the Atlantic Ocean, and I will recommend a beach restaurant serving the best dishes of Canarian cuisine.

Interesting facts about the islanders
Of course, we will discuss the inhabitants of the Canaries themselves. I will reveal to you the traditions and habits of the inhabitants of the north of the island and answer questions about them – about the attitude to education and religion and character traits. I will share the secrets of Canarian dishes and tell local stories and legends. We will talk about the culture and differences between the inhabitants of the north and south of the island.

In addition, during the tour you will learn the history of Canary Malvasia , if you wish, you can taste it in order to understand why Shakespeare and Stevenson, Scott and Byron admired this drink in their time. And be sure to try the unusual Canarian coffee — barakito .

Organizational details

• Optional coffee and tasting of Canary wines paid separately
• If you come to Icod de los Vinos from another city, I will meet you at the bus station or at the city parking lot, where you can park your car for free.

Tourist reviews

Alena

The tour was just wonderful! Olga is an incredible guide. She has knowledge of the history and geography of the place, as well as all sorts of legends.
I would love to go on a tour with Olga again!

September 15, 2022

Elena

I had the most superficial knowledge of the Canary Islands, even less of Tenerife. And if everyone invites to places of worship, then such excursions are interesting for those who are interested in the life and culture of ordinary people. On this tour you will find out how many climatic zones there are on the island, where there are pyramids, why you need to order special potatoes in a restaurant, what Catherine II drank on an empty stomach and much more … you will see a lot of postcard places and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Olga, thank you for the emotions! We got a lot!

September 24, 2019

Yuri

If you are staying in Puerto de la Cruz, as I did, and want to see the neighboring cities of Tenerife, then you should definitely visit Icod de los Vinos. The guide Olga, thank you very much, will show you many interesting places in the sleepy city. As they say, not only the Wonder Tree is famous for Icod de los Vinos. The tour is walking, but, thanks to Olga, it takes place in a gentle mode. I definitely recommend visiting, although next time I will ask to spend more time at the Malvasia Museum)), but this is for my taste.

Alexander

The tour was organized perfectly: convenient, logical along the route. Extremely comfortable in human terms. Informative. Without overloading information, although if desired, the questions had complete answers and interesting, in-depth information. We recommend our guide Olga to everyone – wonderful! The time spent is super level: information, views, protected areas, not the most open to tourists corners, plus human communication. Thank you very much and good luck!
