Tenerife
Welcome to Tenerife

The Canary Islands are situated off the northwest coast of Africa and consist of seven islands which are divided into two provinces.

Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands. It’s situated 200 miles off the west coast of North West Africa at about 28 degrees latitude and 16.5 degrees longitude.
 
Triangular in shape, the island would fit into a rectangle about 90 km wide by 80 km high and has a road perimeter of about 358 km.
 
It is dominated by Mount Teide, the extinct volcano that stands at 12,198 feet high (3718m), being the highest mountain of Spanish territory.

The islands are only 300km west of the Western Sahara desert, making the climate much warmer in winter than in Britain.

To generalise the weather in Southern Tenerife can be very different from Northern Tenerife, this is created by the mountain range between the two.

Southern Tenerife is much warmer and dryer than the North having a more desert appearance than the more lush tropical appearance of the North with many banana plantations. The South remaining relatively rain free, any rain that does fall is usually between October and February.

Average daytime temperatures remain at 22ºC for most of the year. The island can be windy.

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, volcanoes, sometimes snow, incredibly beautiful coastlines and spectacular beaches.
