Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is unrivalled in entertainment and cultural events and has every reason to be, given its beautiful coastline, vibrant nightlife and breathtaking villages. Despite the distance from the Iberian Peninsula, the lifestyle on the island could not be more Spanish than this, afternoon siestas and late dinners included.
Tenerife is one of Spain's most popular tourist destinations, so expect to find visitors from all over the world both on the beach and in the towns. If large crowds don't scare you, you might even venture to plan your holiday around the time of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife to experience the euphoric atmosphere during this crazy festival.
