Although tourists are no longer permitted to enter the volcanic site, there are still cable car rides available to the top of El Teide. The volcano is known as El Teide and is actually Spain’s highest peak – a titanic natural marvel that gives Tenerife a unique geographical quality not found in many popular holiday destinations. One of the biggest attractions for many holidaymakers to explore during their holiday in Tenerife is surely the dormant volcano located in the centre of the island. Weather in the South of Tenerife is blisteringly hot all year round, while the North is more like the ‘eternal spring’ that the nickname suggests. The North on the other hand, is usually visited by those who are wishing for a more relaxing vacation, with the aim of total immersion in local culture.

If you are seeking perfect beach weather and a vibrant party scene, the South is definitely for you. The North/South divide in Tenerife makes it extremely simple to plan your holiday. Where you should fly to depends heavily on what kind of holiday you are after. Both airports provide easy access to the many resorts on the island, ensuring that you can easily book a hotel close to the airport you are flying to. Your flight will arrive at one of the island’s two airports: Tenerife South in Granadilla de Abona is the busier of the two, while Tenerife North is located in San Cristóbal de La Laguna and is closer to the island’s quieter towns. Holidaymakers flock to the largest of the Canary Islands at all times of the year, indulging in the melting Mediterranean sunshine.

Tenerife is known as the island of eternal spring, and with the consistently good weather all year round, it is easy to see why.
