Tenerife, the island of the eternal Spring
If you need to have a relaxing holiday trying something new, go to the largest Canary Islands: Tenerife!
It is a volcanic island, many of which are still active. "Pico of Teide" is the one that dominates the island being over 3000m high!
The landscape is varied and if you are interested in nature you will have the opportunity to visit several sites dedicated to botany and wildlife conservation. Do not lose the opportunity to visit the nearby island of "Gomera", declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site for its pristine natural beauty.
For those who want to play sports while on holiday, Tenerife is the best place ever! There are a number of choices, like golf or riding, diving activities, paragliding, windsurfing and more.
It is also one of the most popular destination for surfers. Here you can find surfers from all over the world and try to learn this new sport that is taking over!
The opportunity to do many things subsists also for the weather. It is one of the best destinations to go to throughout the year because it is temperate, meaning it does not have freezing cold winters or blistering summers. It is also for this reason that Tenerife is called the island of the eternal Spring! People like to reserve a hotel in Tenerife and enjoy the pleasent climate.
It has two mains tourist centers: in the north you can find Puerto de La Cruz, for many years it was the Capital of tourism in the island but later was replaced by Playa de Las Americas, located in the south and characterised by a drier climate than that of Puerto. The city has developed in a short time, creating a number of luxurious and modern hotels. These are also the Tenerife hotels: all types of accommodations that means holidays for everyone, for all ages!
Santa Cruz is the capital of the island, located in a beautiful bay. There are several things you can visit, such as the San Francisco church or Plaza de Espana. The park "Garcia Sanabria" is well worth a visit, where tropical nature and contemporary art come together.
There are also three musems to visit. One is the Museum de la Naturaleza e y el Hombre showing through two routes, the history of cultures that have inhabited the Canary Islands. Another museum is Municipal de Bellas Artes, used by the Museo del Prado (Madrid) as a deposit for the works of the XVII, XVIII and XIX. The most important works are the "San José", Ribera, called The Spaniard and the Triptico de Nava, the Flemish school of the sixteenth century.
Santa Cruz is famous for it's Carnivals. This event is celebrated with parades of allegorical floats and samba dances in all the squares!
