Tenerife: A Crown Jewel of Spain’s Canary Islands
Many people have never heard of the Canary Islands. Few Americans visit them. It’s a popular destination for Europeans, but to most of the world, the stunning Canary Islands, just off the coast of Morocco, remain a mystery. The island of Tenerife is a geographic wonderland, much like the island of Kauai. They even share a similar climate. From thick, lush forest to lava rock-filled desert, it’s a recreational wonderland and a feast for the senses. Tenerife is a stunning crown jewel of Spain’s Canary Islands.
Hiking and Biking
The choices for hiking in Tenerife go on forever. You can choose from a nice short walk along the coast to one of the island’s beautiful lighthouses or a vigorous hike to the top of one of the many mountains. Mount Teide is an old volcano and towers above the island at 12,198 feet. So, you have plenty of options, from mountain climbing to meandering walks along the coastline. The same goes for mountain biking. Want to kick your recreation up a notch? Fly down one of Tenerife’s many mountains on two wheels!
