May is the Quiet Month on Tenerife
On an island that is a year round holiday destination, when there is no ‘out of season’ as such, May is the quiet month in tourist terms.
Alien Hairdressers & Robots in Puerto de la Cruz, it Must be Mueca
For three days in May artistic anarchy is the order of the day in Puerto de la Cruz as Mueca, the international festival of art in the street, transforms the town into a surreal wonderland.
A Photo Guide to Garachico
Garachico, one of the prettiest towns on Tenerife, welcomes hordes of visitors every day. Most, however, leave with the sun and so only enjoy the briefest taste of this unlucky but charming little town.
Follow the Santa Cruz Sculpture Trail
In December 1973 to January 1974 Santa Cruz hosted an International Street Sculpture exhibition featuring works of art from prominent artists such as Henry Moore, Joan Miró and local boys Oscar Dominguez and José Abad. Today those exhibits are still in place and form the basis of a pleasant city walk taking in art and scenery as you go.
Tenerife’s Prettiest Villages
Head north beyond La Laguna and deep into the Anaga Mountains and you’ll discover lots of tiny hamlets nestling at ridiculous angles on cliffs that look like they were drawn by a five year old.
Take a Sunset Stroll on Tenerife
A lazy, sunset stroll is one of the joys of being on holiday. There’s no dinner to prepare, no chores to be finished. You can simply turn your face to the golden globe, smile, relax and lap it up.
Playa De La Arena Pride Of The West
With 50 years of bathing service and uninterrupted European Union blue flags for quality since 1988, Playa de la Arena is loud and proud in its claim as best beach on the west coast of Tenerife
A Photo Guide to La Orotava
Sophisticated La Orotava in north Tenerife isn’t a tourist town but, like Garachico, during daylight hours it attracts bus loads of visitors. It has a noble history and some of the best colonial architecture on Tenerife.
Los Cristianos Changing With The Tides
From fishing village to busy port and marina, Los Cristianos is constantly evolving but always keeps its respect for the Atlantic Ocean and nature’s ways. Cruise ships are set to become a key part of the future and the harbour wall is bracing itself for a new look.
Walking Routes From Tenerife’s Resorts
Tenerife is gaining a reputation as a top walking destination with a diverse countryside that offers a range of hiking routes that most places could only dream about.
However, not everyone wants to scale Spain’s highest mountain, El Teide or trek for 20 kilometres through ancient forests. Some people just enjoy stepping outside of their hotel and going for a walk.
