More information about Tenerife, Canary Islands.

The Canary Islands are split into 2 Spanish provinces: the Westerly Islands of Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera and Hierro, from the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (chief town Santa Cruz) and the Eastern Islands of Gran Canaria, FuerteVentura and Lanzarote which formed the province of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Tenerife's central mountain, Mt. Teide, stands at 12,200 feet, and it is the highest in Spain. A cable-car ride to the summit offers unrivalled views of the lunar-like landscape of the volcanic slopes. The view from its peak on one of the frequent crystal clear days is simply breathtaking. Colours from the different types of volcanic rock are seen clearly hues of ochre, orange and rust, green, black and beige, an entire colour palette in fact! On the higher slopes grow a variety of plants like the bushy clumps of Teide daisy flower. And during the winter months the peak become's snow capped!

The northern coast of Tenerife is bordered by steep cliffs, but the southern part of the island slopes down to one of the few regions of level coastal plain in the volcanic islands of the archipelago.

Tenerife has traditional rural towns, hillside villages and extraordinarily unusual landscapes formed from the twisted lava-rock of Mount Teide. It is indeed a paradise for tourists and makes an idyllic holiday destination.

According to some scientists the name Tenerife means snow-capped mountain in Guanche language. Tenerife is also referred as the island of two faces, an island with a 'north-south' divide, but the south receive more tourists than the north, one of the reasons is because in that part of the island is hotter, beside the fact that the infrastructures are more developed.

With lush forests in the northern part, mountains, desserts, volcanoes, exotic plant, animal life and spectacular beaches (with black volcanic sand), it is everyone’s dream holiday.
