Tenerife · Canary Islands
A guide that tells you where to go – and when. Teide at sunrise, gorges in the north, quiet coves in the south.
01
Nine destinations from volcanic landscape to coast – honestly described, no sales talk.
Volcano · UNESCO World Heritage
A lunar landscape above 2,000 m and Spain's highest mountain at over 3,700 m. Especially striking at sunrise and under the stars.
A permit is required for the final summit trail – check current rules with the national park before you go.

Laurel forest · Biosphere Reserve
Ancient cloud forest, steep ridges and small villages in the northeast – a hikers' paradise.
Weather changes fast: bring a jacket and sturdy shoes.
Learn more →
Old town · UNESCO World Heritage
Colonial streets, squares and churches – the island's former capital with a university feel.
Ideal for a relaxed half day, even under cloudy skies.

Valley · Old town · Sea
A fertile valley with historic houses and balcony-lined lanes, plus the harbour town of Puerto de la Cruz.
The north is greener and often cloudier than the south.
Learn more →
Coastal town · Natural pools
A 1706 eruption destroyed the harbour here; today lava pools and a calm old town invite a visit.
Combines well with a northern route.
Learn more →
Mountain village · Gorge
A mountain village in the Teno range with spectacular views and a famous gorge down to the sea.
Gorge access is regulated – check current conditions before travelling.
Learn more →
Sea cliffs · Ocean
Cliffs up to about 500 m high on the west coast; boats leave from here to watch whales and dolphins.
Choose reputable boat operators that follow wildlife rules.
Learn more →
Beaches · Sun
The sunny south coast with sandy beaches, promenades and good infrastructure.
A practical base for families and relaxing holidays.
Learn more →
Wind · Montaña Roja
A relaxed southern coastal town known for wind- and kitesurfing and the red volcanic cone Montaña Roja.
Windy – great for sport, less so for calm beach days.

Tenerife is mild all year – but regions differ clearly.
Greener, damper, rich in culture. Good for hiking, old towns and nature even on changeable days.
Sunnier and drier. Good for beaches, swimming and relaxing.
Teide: much cooler and windier than the coast – bring a jacket even in summer.
West: cliffs and sea. East: wind, waves and surfers.

For Teide, Anaga and Masca a car or guided tour is the most convenient. For coastal towns, bus or taxi is often enough.
