Tenerife is probably one of the last European paradise isles. "Fascinating" is the word for this island. It offers lush forests, exotic fauna and flora, deserts, mountains, volcanos, sometimes snow, incredibly beautiful coastlines and spectacular beaches.

Holidays in Tenerife certainly pack a punch when it comes to sun-drenched beach breaks. One thing's for sure, you'll return from your Tenerife holiday with a tan that even the most discerning sun-seeker would be proud of. Away from the beach, holidays in Tenerife take a turn towards the more traditional. And the lunar-like landscape is peppered with banana plantations, whitewashed villages and shuttered colonial buildings.

Tenerife is the largest (2034sq km) and highest (3718m) in the archipelago of the Canary Islands, with an estimated population of 655,656. 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) while the Eastern Islands of Gran Canaria, FuerteVentura and Lanzarote from the province of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Tenerife's central mountain, Mt. Teide, stands at 12,200 feet, and is the highest in Spain.
