Things to Do

A stay in Tenerife is much more than just an opportunity to chill on the beach. One experience not to be missed is climbing the Teide. This dormant volcano, measuring 3718 meters above water level at the highest point, is the tallest point in the whole of Spain. Using the cable cars you can reach a height of 3350 meters, but those who want to view the crater must request a special permit to make their to the summit. Around the volcano is the Teide National Park, where it feel as if you’re on another planet, thanks to the green coloured sulfur.

For a culture trip visit the museums of Tenerife. The Museum of Dimas Coello in Candelaria is well worth a look, with Coello being one of the greatest artists to come from the island. Then there’s the archaeological museum in Puerto de la Cruz, which is a must.

In the spring Tenerife is in carnival mode, especially in Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz where the Carnival of Santa Cruz is celebrated exuberantly. The colourful parade, complete with dancers and music is grand enough to challenge its fellow greats.
