Tumultuous Tenerife. One of the most exciting holiday destinations in the world. Over ten million visitors go to Tenerife each summer and return time and time again for what promises to be a great trip that doesn ‘ t cost a fortune.

Found just off the coast of North Africa, it is one of seven volcanic Islands that together comprise the Canary Islands. Out of all of them, Tenerife enjoys a bigger chunk of the tourism pie.

Born from a volcano, Tenerife was created as a result of several eruptions. These eruptions happened about 3. 5 million years ago and there has been no such activity since, although there was a recent earthquake measuring a Richter scale of 4 in the year 2002.

Tenerife is split into two very distinctive geographical regions. In the northern territories it is very fertile and green with high humidity and rainfall whilst to the south it is much drier and sunnier.

Most of the holiday destinations are centred in the south of the island in the region of Costa Adeje. This is where the popular and ever growing Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas resorts are situated. In the north, the town of Puerto de la Cruz is fast becoming a popular holiday resort too. Here however, a considerable amount of thought has gone into keeping the wonderful ambience of the town and it is a dream venue for a peaceful and more relaxing break.

Originally, up until the invasion of the Spaniards in the fifteenth century, the inhabitants of the island were the simple native peoples known as the Guanches. ‘Tenerife’ translates from the Guanches language for ‘white mountain’.

Down in the heavily developed south can be found the popular resort of Los Cristianos. One mile away from its noisy neighbour, Playa de las Americas, the bay of Los Cristianos provides a joyous and fun – filled escape for the whole family.

It ‘ s hardly believable that it wasn’t so long ago when Los Cristianos was merely a delightful fishing harbour. The Tenerife of today is unrecognisable from the quiet unassuming island of 40 years ago. Read more…
