Tenerife South Airport can be reached by road via the Highway Tenerife 1.

Things To See/Do in Tenerife:

The Spanish holiday island of Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, a cluster of islands, created some 20 million years ago by Mount Teide's volcanic activity. Today Mount Teide is still one of the island's biggest tourist attractions and can be reached most easily by cable car.

Apart from the impressive Mount Teide, Tenerife offers something for everyone. Why not grab a map, hire a car and head out to explore the island's beautiful valleys and national parks?

Must-sees include National Park of Las Canadas, a volcanic landscape which was used as the setting for the movie Planet of the Apes. Heading west, Los Gigantes cliffs offer stunning rugged sea views, while the north of the island is a great location to stop off for a hike at the Orotava Valley. Pretty fishing villages are also worth a visit; those of special note include Garachico and La Oratava, located to the north of the island. Golf is a popular activity on the island, with Tenerife offering some world-class golf courses and favourable sunshine. Courses of particular note include Amarilla Bay Golf Course to the South and Buenavista Golf, designed by Severiano Ballesteros and located along the picturesque 'Isla Baja' coastline.

A round up of the island's attractions wouldn't be complete without mentioning its glorious beaches, including Playa de la Teresitas and the Cesar Manrique Maritime Park.

Eating Out/Nightlife/Accommodation:

Thrifty travellers will be delighted to learn that eating out in Tenerife is cheap, with many restaurants catering for British and continental tourists on a budget. If however, you wish to sample the local specialities, try puchero canario, a hearty stew, papas arrugadas potatoes and the tasty red and green mojo sauces.

The best restaurants on the island are to be found on the outskirts, so it's well worth hiring a car if you're looking for something a little bit special. El Monasterio, at Los Realeois, set in a converted monastery is one such atmospheric establishment, while Mesón El Drago at Tequste offers Canarian fine dining and spectacular views.

The holiday resorts of Tenerife offer a buzzing nightlife, with pubs, karaoke bars and discos on offer to keep everyone entertained. La Laguna, situated near Santa Cruz is a lively spot, filled with bars and live music.

Tenerife is packed with well-established resorts, offering accommodation to suit every budget and requirement. If money is no object and you're looking for a unique location, check into Parador de Canadas del Teide, which is situated in the volcanic park, with room rates starting at €120 per night. Meanwile, tourists on a budget may prefer something a little more practical and low key like The Hotel Colón Rambla which is a three star establishment, set around a pool, and just two minutes walk from the port and ten minutes from Playa de las Teresitas.

Top Four Drives Tenerife:

1. Masca

The pretty coastal village of Masca is well worth exploring by hire car. Masca is situated at the northwest tip of the island, at the foothills of the Teno Mountains. The journey to the village involves a zigzag drive from Santiago del Teide encompassing dramatic hairpin bends on the way. The village's choppy, rugged coastline has in the past sparked stories of skulduggery, pirates and buried treasure. Masca is a definite must-do drive.

2. Teide National Park

The natural beauty of Teide National Park has long been considered one of the world's most unique landscapes. Unusual features include a 30-mile wide volcanic crater, rare varieties of violet, various breeds of birds and lizards and Spain's highest peak, Mount Teide. In the winter months it is common to see snow on the peaks of the mountain, while in summertime, temperatures can climb to 40 degrees and over. The drive out is straightforward and you'll find the park can be accessed via the public road, which runs across the Caldera from the northeast to the southeast.

3. Pirámides de Güimar

Heading out along the eastern coast of the island, past Santa Cruz, you'll encounter the ancient and mysterious Pirámides de Güimar structure. The pyramids form part of the island's Ethnographic Park, a site devoted to the island's ancient heritage. Admission to the park doesn't come cheap, but discount rates are available for groups. Look out for special offers in the tourist office too.

4. Black Beaches

The island's volcanic history has greatly impacted the look and quality of the island's beaches. As a result of volcanic activity in the past, many of the island's naturally occurring beaches are black or grey in appearance. Examples of Tenerife's curious black beaches include Candaleria to the east of the island, Puerto de la Cruz to the north of the island and Playa las Americas's grey beaches. However, typical golden sandy beaches associated with sunshine holidays are to be found at Los Gigantes and San Juan to the west and Fanabe on the south of the island. These beaches lend themselves to a range of sports including volleyball, windsurfing, sailing and surfing.
