| | General Information | | Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, measuring 60 miles long and up to 37 miles wide. It is dominated by a extinct volcano, Mount Teide, that is almost 12 miles in diameter and is located in the national park of Las Canadas. With it's lush tropical forests, sheer cliffs and beaches of both dark volcanic and golden sand, the island has just about everything. The green and humid north coast, whose main resort is Puerto de la Cruz, contrasts with the southern coast, which is hot and dry and boasts the resorts of Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos. Santa Cruz in the north east is the capitol, with the airport situated 38 miles to the south. | | Local Food | | A great choice of friendly bars and reastaurants, ensure the all year round tourist trade has plenty of options when it comes to eating out. Cuisine in the Canaries is Mediterranean in style and is inspired by the natural produce available. There are Spanish restaurants, international restaurants, and also fast food outlets to cater for all tastes. If you want to sample some real Canarian food then look out for the name 'tipico' in country-style restaurants. Don't forget to try the local 'tapas' bars offering a variety of small tasty dishes of food for you to try with a nice glass of wine. 'Sancocho' (fish stew), or 'paella' (seafood,meat and rice dish) are also popular and worth a try. The Canaries produce delicious home made wines of the 'Malmsey' variety, most of which tend to be sweet, and the rum honey liqueur is lovely to round off a meal |
