Experience Tenerife and its attractions

In Tenerife, you can bask in the sunshine on its stunning beaches, such as Playa de las Teresitas, Playa de la Pinta, Playa de Las Gaviotas, El Pris, and many others. For those who prefer outdoor adventures over lounging on the sand, Tenerife offers a variety of activities, including hiking, safaris, eco-tours, and more.

We highly recommend exploring some of Tenerife’s urban highlights, such as the Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín, the Museum of Nature and Archeology, Plaza de España, Parque García Sanabria, and the Palmetum of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

When it comes to food and drink, Tenerife is renowned for its fresh goat cheese, locally sourced fish, and traditional rabbit stew paired with the famous mojo sauce. Enhance your culinary experience by sampling local wines from Bodegas Monje (Camino Cruz de Leandro 36) or Bodega Reverón (Los Quemados 8).
