Cheap Holidays In Tenerife

by Mark Ian Nettlemill

The Island of Eternal Spring is a name often given to Tenerife due to the much loved and much sought after year-round climate. Tenerife is truly an island of beauty and one that offers stark contrasts in scenery. The north of the island is primarily green with a very countrified feel to it. The south of the island on the other hand, is dry and hot. As the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is always the popular choice for a holiday and is definitely worth a look if you like last minute deals and cheap holidays. But last minute deals and cheap holidays aside, it is the island itself that keeps people coming back year after year!

Beaches in Tenerife

Tenerife has a widely varied coastline and as such, can offer a variety of beaches to suit each taste. As a cheap day out or as a last minute plan, it’s worth taking a tour of some of these beaches - the beaches of Playa de las Americas feature golden sand and child friendly beaches. The Teresitas beach in the north of Tenerife has imported Saharan sand, framed by palm trees which give the feel of a tropical paradise, enhanced by the many beach side bars serving the best in exotic cocktails! To the east of Tenerife lie some of the best black volcanic beaches around, places of unusual beauty where rather than building a normal sandcastle, you can instead build the Dark Tower of Mordor!

What to Eat in Tenerife

Tenerife is home to some of the best tapas bars around. The food is cheap and the wine is plentiful and what’s more, you can sample some of Tenerife’s native dishes. Why not try the wrinkled potatoes with either a spicy sauce or a green sauce? Or the famous chickpea hotpot? If you are a meat-lover, then do not worry! Fresh meat is always available, but for that authentic taste of Tenerife, the fish is best. If the fish got any fresher, they would swim right off the plate - definitely not your supermarket variety!

Activities in Tenerife

You will never be stuck for something to do in Tenerife. Most activities can be booked last minute and the deals can be quite cheap. The Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz is astounding. It has the requisite zoo, aquarium and even a Penguin Planet! The Las Caadas National Park is a natural wonder that should not be missed as well, nor the chance to gaze in awe at the highest mountain in Spain, the dormant volcano Mount Teide! Shopping is another experience that should not be missed in Tenerife. The low taxes mean that you can bag some great deals and take home holiday presents on the cheap! The cheeky calls of the vendors mean that the experience will definitely not be a dull one as well!
