What they say about the holiday in Tenerife: reviews and impressions

We will not go into details about the geographical situation and history of Tenerife: the reviews of people who have rested on this most popular island of the Canary archipelago claim that there is eternal spring, the waves of the Atlantic Ocean are washed by the cliffs and coves cut by the cliffs and coves, the towns are picturesque, and the nature is amazing. In the 15th century, the Canaries captured the Spaniards, assimilating the locals, who, according to scientists, were white-skinned and blue-eyed. Now the archipelago is a part of Spain, so Russians (and also citizens of other countries that are not members of the EU) need to get a Schengen visa.

When and how to fly to Tenerife?

Reviews recommend doing this at any time of year, with the exception of January. However, even the coldest month in the Northern Hemisphere can be comfortably spent in the southern part of the island, as it is reliably sheltered from the cold winds, storms and fogs of Teide volcano. In addition, plus 18-20 degrees - this is not a minus 20. All the rest of the year in the Canary Islands reigns in the spring. Rest on Tenerife also suits those who, due to health problems, do not tolerate the heat. Despite the location near the coast of Africa, there is hardly any heat here - it is smoothed by the sea winds.

Fly in Tenerife reviews are offered from Moscow. A direct flight offers a flight that lasts about seven hours. You can also get with transfers at other Spanish airports (in Barcelona or Madrid), but then the journey will stretch to 10-12 hours. Tickets, especially for February, when the capital of Santa Cruz is a festival, must be taken in advance. Also need to inquire about the place of arrival. The island has two airports - North and South. Experienced travelers are advised to prefer the latter, as it is closer to the main resorts.

Which resort to choose in Tenerife?

Reviews are advised to proceed from your preferences. Canaries take three million tourists every year, because they can offer a quality holiday for every taste. Do you want a noisy and cheerful nightlife? Welcome to Las Americas, where there are practically no locals, and everything is created for the amusement of visitors. Looking for seclusion for a romantic honeymoon? Then you - in Los Cristianos, a picturesque (former fishing) village, now turned into a fashionable resort. For families with small children, a small resort Ten-Bel is suitable, and for fans of diving - Plaza Paraiso.

Where to stay in Tenerife?

Reviews argue that the island can be found as very expensive hotels with a glorious century-old history (for example, in Costa Adeje), and quite inexpensive, but decent hoteliers for three stars. The private sector is quite developed - both houses by the sea, and luxury apartments. Many hotels have swimming pools, and experienced animators are engaged in leisure activities. There are hotels that work on the "all inclusive" system. Hiring "edifitsio" (private housing) makes it possible to save on food - in fact in this case it is convenient to buy food in shops and prepare by yourself.

What to see in Tenerife?

Reviews of tourists most often mention the town of San Cristobal de la Laguna and the extinct volcano of Teide. Both sites are under the protection of UNESCO. Ascent to the vents is a fascinating walk through the "lunar landscapes" - lava-covered areas where nothing grows. On the slopes of Teide, there is a national park, where the Dragon Tree grows, whose resin (red as blood) has medicinal properties.
