Tenerife holidays are very popular for a lot of reasons. Tenerife is situated in the Canary Islands. These are a group of islands situated off the coast of north western Africa and believe it or not have been attracting vacationers since ancient Roman times. The main reason for this is because of the weather. The Canary Islands boasts of year round great weather and plenty of sunshine. The Canary Islands are also known as Gran Canarias, therefore when you talk about vacationing in Tenerife, you are also talking about a Gran Canaria holidays. Like many island destinations, Tenerife can also boast of some great beaches.

Tenerife has both artificially created white and yellow beaches as well as natural black sand beaches. These black coloured beaches are created from ancient volcanic sand. If you are looking for the best year round weather, then it happens more on the south side of the island. Naturally most of the best holiday resorts are located on this part of the island. The island is teaming with activities for every kind of vacationer. If you are into beach related activities then there is plenty of that happening such as swimming, surfing and scuba diving. There are lots of shopping centres, bars, restaurants and excursions available.

Tenerife holidays are also popular for the geographical diversity of the island. The southern part as mentioned before has a drier, semi-arid weather and landscape. Whereas the northern part have a cooler climate and the topography is greener. The north is where the farmlands and forests are situated. The southern part of the island will have more English speaking people, where as in the north the people speak mostly in their native Spanish.

Because of the difference in climates, it’s not unusual for tourists to go to the north when they want to experience cooler climates. The great thing about this bio-diversity is that it does not take a long time to reach one place to another. A few hours by car and you are there. The island is also famous for its caves. The caves were created by the volcanoes and the Cueva del Viento is the largest volcano created cave in the world.
