The largest of the Canary Islands archipelago, Tenerife has a bit of a bad rap as a cheap ’n’ cheerful package-holiday destination since the tourist trade took off in the 1970s. But take a closer look and you’ll find there’s much more to the volcanic island than year-round sunshine and Brit-style pubs.
The largest of the Canaries, Tenerife boasts beautiful beaches, boutique-filled towns and quaint fishing villages. And, thanks to an eruption three million years ago, it also has lunar-esque landscapes made for exploring.
