Why Tenerife Has Become The Canary Islands Hottest Tourist Destination - Tenereefer/Articles GitHub Wiki

Tenerife is one of several islands that make up the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean near Morocco's Border. It, along with Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura, is a significant Spanish tourist destination. The mild, subtropical climate, beautiful white sand beaches, and natural attractions are what drives most of the tourism traffic to the islands.

The largest of all the Canary Islands, Tenerife is considered its most important Spanish tourism destination. The capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a very popular city to visit. Springtime attracts the most tourists to visit Tenerife, but it is enjoyable to visit any time of the year because of the consistently pleasant temperatures and weather. Winter temperatures range from 64 to 68 degrees, while summer warms up to 75 to 78 degrees.

The southernmost part of the island is the hottest and driest part. It has many well-planned cities, like Los Cristianos and Playa de la Americas. We love to stay at the Riu Palace Hotel, which is located in Costa Adeje near the lengthy coastline promenade.

Along the promenade, you'll find innumerable beaches, high-end lodging, eateries, bars, shops, and marinas.

The sounds of the waves against the beach, makes it very popular for visitors to take walks along the beach both in the morning, and in the evening hours. You'll have great access no matter what hotel you choose to patronize.

You simply can't get the most out of your visit without renting a car. You're able to drive everywhere on the island, including the island center, Mount Teide, which you won't want to miss.

Tenerife was created volcanically. Mount Teide, its most prominent natural landmark standing at 12,198 feet, is also the highest point in all of Spain. It, and its surrounding forests, comprise the Teide National Park, which attracts many tourists every year.

Loro Parque, or Zoo Park, is located in Puerto de la Cruz. The park was conceived originally as a natural sanctuary for parrots, but today it has become the most popular attraction of the Canary Islands. It's most famous for its parrots, sea lions, penguins, chimpanzees, gorillas, and tigers. It's most popular exhibits are the orcas and dolphins, which put on incredible performances.

Tenerife is such a beautiful destination, and is so worth visiting. Its pleasant temperatures make every stay enjoyable regardless of the time of year. Pristine beaches, beautiful vegetation, and natural attractions make it one of the most interesting tourist destinations in the world. We absolutely plan to visit it again!
