by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel Deals

Tenerife is visited by millions of tourists every year from different corners of the globe owing to its enchanting natural beauty and other fascinating attractions. This Spanish island is the largest among all the seven Canary Islands and hosts the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which is one of the largest carnivals in the world. Your time spent in this gorgeous island destination would give you the chance to explore some fantastic places other than the ones that are popular among tourists. While holidaying on the island, you can also indulge in some exciting outdoor activities and have loads of fun.

Your Tenerife holidays can be extremely pleasant, be it any time of the year. The months of December and January offer excellent conditions for relaxing on the beaches of this island and enjoying some thrilling water sports. If you want to make your holiday in this part of the world relatively cheaper, visit during the period between September and December or March and May. The only time between these months that experiences a heavy rush of tourists is the Easter weekend. It is advisable to book your holiday or hotel accommodation several months in advance if you plan to visit during the peak season from November to March.

While enjoying your cheap holidays to Tenerife, you'll get the opportunity to explore the most popular attractions on the island and its surrounding regions. Among them is Teide National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also one of the world's most visited national parks. It is located on Spain's highest mountain, Mount Teide. A visit to Punta del Hidalgo, a small fishing village located in the San Cristobal de La Laguna municipality, would allow you to witness its mesmerising natural beauty and savour the traditional dishes in any of its restaurants.

During your Tenerife holidays, you can also have several exciting activities worth trying. One of them is hiking and snorkelling in Costa Adeje. You'll also have a great time while exploring Los Gigantes, as this place attracts many whales and fur dolphins. This gives you the chance to watch these fabulous marine beings in action. Some of the hiking trails located in the village of Masca take you through vast expanses of beautiful landscapes. This region had no proper road access until the mid-20th century. You can also explore the Anaga region, as it has some charming beaches and forest areas.

Upon visiting the island's restaurants, you can relish Tenerife's popular dishes. Papas Arrugadas is one of them, made using wrinkled potatoes boiled in salt water and served with 'Mojo Rojo' or the 'Red Salsa' and 'Mojo Verde' or the 'Green Salsa'. Another delectable treat you can enjoy while getting around on the island is Churros de Pescado. It consists of fish and chips and is served with garlic mayonnaise, which is called 'Alioli' by the locals. 'Chopitos' are the salty and crispy little fried squids that are also worth tasting while holidaying in this island destination.
