Tenerife

Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, attracts a cosmopolitan mix of visitors to its quaint towns and pristine beaches. While you can visit this island any time of the year, it’s busiest during the winter months when most parts of Europe experience freezing temperatures. The black-sand beaches in Tenerife offer hours of outdoor fun, including swimming, windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Tenerife’s annual Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife sees a vibrant atmosphere of street parades, live music and action-packed parties that last until dawn. Consider a road trip around the island to visit its many idyllic Spanish towns, including Los Cristianos, Garachico, and Los Gigantes.
