About Tenerife

Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands is situated in the Atlantic Ocean some 29 degrees north of the equator. It has the reputation of having one of the best climates anywhere on earth and with year round sunshine and a minimum of rain it is easy to see why the island makes such a popular destination for retirees and holiday makers.
Indeed holiday homes have become a popular purchase for UK residents. The South of the island is most popular with many seasonal visitors migrating like exotic birds to Tenerife's balmy climes to escape Britain's bitter winter.
The development of many new, professional quality golf courses on the island especially in the districts of San Miguel, Arona and Adeje is responsible for attracting sportsmen and women from all walks of life. All these areas are within 15-20 minutes of Reina Sofia, Tenerife's international airport which last year welcomed some 10 million travellers.
The Southern resorts of Costa Del Silencio, Las Galletas, Los Cristianos and Las Americas have something to offer people of all ages. Playa de las Americas, the home of discos, nightclubs and large hotels is a popular destination for the young and young at heart who like to party all night and chill out by the pool all day. Los Cristianos with its small cafes and bars and multitude of self-catering accommodation is ideal for families with young children. Costa Del Silencio and Las Galletas are both near enough to the buzz of Las Americas to suit those who like to combine an occasional night out with tranquil days.
Las Galletas, a Spanish fishing village, has recently received a makeover from the local council. Many roads have been turned into pedestrian walkways which in turn has resulted in new little cafes sprouting up here and there and a pleasant environment for an early evening promenade.
The temperature in Tenerife rarely falls below 20 degrees even in the winter, and only on exceptional days does it rise above 33 degrees even in the height of summer, no wonder the island is known as the land of eternal spring.
