Understand

Tenerife, the island of eternal spring, boasts beautiful weather all year round. The south is sunnier and perfect for beach-goers, while the north offers vibrant local culture and a more Spanish year-round springtime feel. In the middle of the island sits Spain's tallest peak, El Teide, a barely dormant volcano. Though no longer accessible to tourists, its majestic presence adds to the island's allure. Tenerife, part of the EU but outside its customs and VAT area, offers great savings on high tax goods like tobacco and alcohol. With its pleasant climate, stunning landscapes, and diverse tourism options, Tenerife is a must-visit destination. Don't forget to pack warmly if you plan on climbing the Teide peak!
