Tenerife is the largest of the seven islands comprising the archipelago, with a surface of 2.057 km2 and a population of 750.000.
It is also home to the highest Spanish peak: the extinct volcano Mount Teide, rising 3.718 meters above sea level, and visible from all of the other Canary Islands.
The presence of such a high mountain creates a “micro-climate” with dramatic differences between the much cooler, wetter and greener North and the forever dry and sunny South, Mecca to millions of sun seekers year round.
Tenerife, with its multi-faceted personality, has something to offer to everybody:
History and culture abound, folklore, excellent cuisine, great thematic parks, the most comprehensive array of sports from camel-riding to downhill biking, scuba diving, paragliding and, of course, year-round golf on championships courses, just to mention a few…..and last but certainly not least beautiful beaches, made of either golden sand imported from the Sahara desert or local black volcanic sand, and the famous night-life: bars, clubs, karaoke, discos, etc., (deleted text) with a number of extremely talented artists be it musicians, singers, stand-up comedians, dancers, to entertain you and liven up your warm nights on this island known as “The Island of Eternal Spring”.
Flights to Tenerife are available from most UK airports.
Some companies provide daily connections but the most common departure days are Tuesdays and Fridays.
The flight time from the UK is approximately four hours and the main southern resorts of Playa de Las Americas & Los Cristianos are just 15 to 20 minutes drive from Reina Sofia airport.
There is no time difference between Tenerife and the UK.
