Tenerife Guide


 

The capital of Tenerife is the second most populated city of the Canary Islands with more than 200,000 inhabitants. Its present importance comes from the development of its port and its commercial calling which made it progressively absorb the civic centres of La Laguna until it reached the status of capital at the beginning of the last century.Santa Cruz city centre Its greatest development was originated by the decree of free ports in 1852 when the consequent intense commercial traffic contributed to the progress of a middle class intent on making the city grow.

Puerto de la Cruz

La Orotava

Las cañadas del Teide Las Cañadas del Teide
From the summit of this great volcanic mountain, all the islands can be seen. It was born 600,000 years ago after violent eruptions.
Two routes recommended

Punta del Hidalgo and Macizo de Anaga
Punta del Hidalgo, where one gets beautiful views over the sea of Anaga highland ridges.
Nothern villages Masca and Punta de Teno
This route covers the north and the Teno highland and so the most beautiful villages of the island can be seen together with the rugged appearance of Teno.



Puerto de la Cruz has international attractions, excellent restaurants and cafés as well as other facilities, which all contribute to giving it a busy air. Numerous national and international congresses and conventions are held there.
The island is very well communicated, especially with the Spanish peninsula, by numerous sea an air links. There are flights to Lanzarote every day from Madrid, several times a week from Barcelona, Bilbao, Málaga and Seville.
There are also many links from this main island to the rest of the Canaries, especially between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, with several air and sea links/ferry services every day.
