Tenerife – an island with many beautiful faces

The largest of the Canary Islands is formed from a volcanic mountain range of different ages that merges into a graceful hilly landscape. Large areas of unspoilt natural beauty are protected sites and national parks, as if made for extended walks and rambles in the fresh Atlantic air. There is also the city of Santa Cruz, the former colonial city of La Laguna, a heritage site now protected by UNESCO, and countless sleepy villages waiting to be explored by bicycle or car.

If you wish to pursue your favourite sports and pastimes – whether hiking, diving, golf, Nordic walking, kayaking or surfing – you will have ample opportunity to do so on Tenerife.

And the markets, folk and arts festivals will also arouse your interest in the local culture.
