Why do millions of people go for Tenerife holidays? Millions of people visit Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands each and every year. It is the most searched for destination with most travel agents especially in the winter and in there lays the answer.
The main answer is year round sunshine. 12 months of sunshine means especially us Brits, can get pretty much guaranteed sunshine since we are so deprived of sunshine here in the UK. September has been not bad here for sunshine but when it would warmest in July and August we got next to none.
The other big attraction is a Tenerife holiday can become a reality in around four and a half hours flying time you can land and head to one of the many beautiful beaches. Despite the popularity prices are very low if you go off peak, you can find return flights in April for under £50 although in the current climate it will probably be harder to find.
It isn’t only the flights that are cheap; Tenerife holiday accommodation is plentiful meaning bargains can be had along with an abundance of choice. There are many websites that will provide hotel and accommodation reviews along with pictures to back up stories and maps to help you find them. Corporate companies are comparison sites now include reviews of resorts so you can find plenty of information on where the best places to go are and those to avoid.
Tenerife is also popular with hikers as it is home to Spain’s highest mountain, Mount Teide and there is the amazing tropical forest in the north of the island with its palm trees and banana plantations. There is more to Tenerife than just the sandy beaches, clear blue sea and sky, and year round sun that we all associate with the island.
Golf enthusiasts regularly flock for a Tenerife holiday to enjoy an afternoon or several days in the sun playing their favourite game. You can also dive, watch the dolphins and enjoy deep sea fishing on holiday in Tenerife.
If you are thinking about going off peak for Tenerife holidays consider going around February 28th. This is when the annual carnival is held in capital city, Santa Cruz. It is said to be one the best carnivals in the world which ends with a massive street party on the 28th, Ash Wednesday.
