Find your perfect hotel in Tenerife
(Re) discover the island of diversity
So you think you already know Tenerife? Have you ever visited the forests of Anaga? Have you ever experienced a traditional romeria in one of its villages? Have you ever tasted the delicious typical dishes of the Canary Islands such as ropa vieja con garbanzos, carne cabra, or even papas arrugadas with its unique mojo sauces? What about the wines?
You haven’t? Then it's high time to go or ... to go back and discover Tenerife like you've never seen it before, preferably for about ten days so you can enjoy it properly.
Dive into the culture
Tenerife is well known for its eternal spring, its many beaches and great hotels, but it is often forgotten that in less than an hour by car one can literally be above the clouds in front of lunar and extraterrestrial landscapes. Or, experience the local atmosphere in the historical capital of La Laguna, a UNESCO world heritage site. The architecture and colors of the buildings embody the happiness that you will find on the island. Walk along its shopping streets, where you will come across diverse local products and fashion boutiques.
You can stay there for a whole afternoon and enjoy typical gourmet dishes, which are unique to Tenerife. Meats, fish, vegetables and even potatoes are prepared in such a delicious way that you will want to change your eating habits when you get back home from your trip. To accompany your meals, the island is also known for its unique wines, which have a wide range of grape varieties; Listán Blanc, Black Listán, Malvasia, Negramoll, Vijariego, Tintillo, Baboso, ... each has its own characteristics. If you are a big wine lover, do not hesitate to visit the "Casa del Vino" in El Sauzal!
If you want to experience something out of the ordinary, try to find out where the next romeria is. Almost every village celebrates its patron saint. The largest village party of the year invites everyone to join in to the festivities that start in the morning and get busier in the afternoon. To match the locals during this event, you should definitely attend wearing white and a straw hat. Music, great atmosphere, broad smiles and unforgettable memories guaranteed!
Get active in Tenerife
The north of the island offers a different perspective from that of the "classic" touristic atmosphere in the south of the island. The nature there is greener, the air is fresh, there are very few tourists and many restaurants offer typical and cheap meals! While the south offers innumerable water activities, the forests in the north invite you into the world of outdoor activities; hiking, mountain biking, climbing or just admiring the landscapes along winding roads in the changing vegetation/flora as you drive up the mountain.
After this adrenaline boost we are glad to return to the hotel and enjoy a breathtaking sunset, with a mojito on the seaside. Besides, you will still be wearing flip flops and a t-shirt... in summer or in winter.
