Tenerife, the paradise island
Tenerife is a little island situated in the Atlantic Ocean near the African coast and is part of the Canary Islands. Although it is a small island you will be amazed by the multitude of natural wonders that it has. The island has as many zonal areas like the continent has. Here you can see people harvesting potatoes and orange trees as well, the scenery is changing as you stroll on the island and the beautiful landscape will impress you at every step. The only thing that will not change is the image of Mount Teide, a volcano that is looking over the whole island.
Even if you see Mount Teide from any point of the island I recommend going on a tour to get a better look at it. The Las Canadas del Teide itinerary takes you on the volcano. This itinerary gives you the opportunity to see the Teide above the clouds. After you have passed the pine trees area the landscape transforms into a volcanic area with a multitude of colors like ochre, yellow and green. There are a few itineraries like this one that takes you to see the most spectacular view of the island like Punta de Hidalgo and Macizo de Anaga.
For the beach lovers here are some famous beaches in the two most visited resorts in Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Martianez pond was build by the well-known artist Cesar Manrique and the way that he combined the water with the architecture is unique, its one of the most popular beaches in Tenerife. Teresitas beach is located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and has golden sand brought all the way from the Sahara desert. In Santa Cruz you can also find nudist beaches like Playa de la Gaviota.
If you want to take a day off from the sun you can go and visit the Museum from Tenerife. This way you can learn a little bit of Tenerife’s history and for this there are three museums that you can visit. “La Recova” Art Center where art exhibitions take place, Natural and Human History Museum and City Library and Fine Arts Museum. Another historic monument that you can visit is not in a museum it is situated in open air, the Black pyramids are very popular around here so don’t miss the chance to visit them.
