Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary Islands and also the most touristy. The visitors who pack their bags here are mainly Europeans in need of sunshine. And Tenerife offers services for all budgets and activities for all ages: hiking, surfing, relaxation, diving, whale and dolphin watching, fishing, canyoning, climbing, paragliding...
While many take to the beaches, the hinterland and the centre of the island, far from neon lights and shopping malls, are popular with hikers and tourists looking for peace and quiet. Especially in the Canary Islands villages where there are rural fincas (cottages) and which are an ideal starting point for a hike in Tenerife. We then enjoy the island's many natural resources, starting with the Pico del Teide, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This spectacular volcanic formation, which rises to an altitude of 3,718 m and extends over 130 km², is the highest peak in Spain. The lava flows and geological formations that became frozen during the formation of the island offer Dantean rock landscapes of varied colours. The steep and vertiginous barrancos (ravines) that delimit the perimeter of Pico del Teide remain almost inaccessible. Those who will encounter these infinite curves that characterize the island's high altitude routes will discover spectacular landscapes between sky, sea and mountains
This is a long way from the crowded seaside resorts. Because, let it be said, the Canary Islands have managed to keep a peasant authenticity of another century. We discover small villages frozen in time, rich in cultural and folk traditions, gastronomy, the rhythm of life and especially the romerías, these patronal celebrations mixing Christianity and profane celebration. In particular, you can pack your bags in Icod de los Vinos, a pleasant and charming historical village that owes its name to the quality of its wines. Anyway: go for it, beauty is never far away!
