The largest of the seven Canary Islands off the Atlantic Coast of Africa, Tenerife is a destination that promises year-round bliss in terms of temperature, sunny days, and abundant water sport opportunities. One of the world's major tourist destinations, Tenerife offers internationally renowned vacation services, with several world-class facilities for leisure, activities, relaxation, and accommodation. Tenerife hotels welcome somewhere in the vicinity of ten million guests per year, which means that the island has the highest figure for tourism of all the Spanish resorts. Like they say, strength in numbers, so what could be a better recommendation for the quality of a Tenerife vacation?

It's not all fun in the sun though, and those interested in finding out more about the island's fascinating history won't be left wondering. In terms of geography, Tenerife is thought to have risen from the Atlantic Ocean some twelve million years ago due to volcanic eruption, and the current format of the island dates back to the fusion of three islands (now evident through the Anaga, Teno and Valle de San Lorenzo mountain ranges) some three million years ago. Indeed, it was due to volcanic activity from Mount Teide that the three islands became the one that we know today, Tenerife.
