¡Tenerife, donde el sol brilla más y las cervezas son siempre frías!
Tenerife is an island trip with several climates in a small area: Teide, black-sand beaches, resort towns, old northern towns, and easy food stops. The reason to go is the contrast between volcanic interior and coast.
Do not visit Tenerife expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. For Tenerife, the practical constraints are part of the itinerary: hours, transport, weather, crowds, and the distance between worthwhile areas. Keep Tenerife practical: fewer cross-town moves, confirmed hours, and paid transport when it saves time or saves time. If the main interest is one nearby site, it may be better to treat Tenerife as a base rather than the whole destination.
