by Daisy Wilkinson Travel Guides

Tenerife is the largest of all the Canary Islands and attracts plenty of tourists annually from various parts of the world. Home to some enchanting natural surroundings, it also has many elegant hotels, resorts, and charming white-sand beaches. The southern part of the island is where most of the activities related to tourism can be enjoyed. However, there is a lot more that the island offers other than the natural attractions, hotels and resorts. Among its wonderful offerings is the Carnaval celebration, which is held on a grand scale on this island and is the world's second most popular carnival.

You can get cheap Tenerife holidays if you plan your visit during the period between the months of September and December or March and May. However, it is advisable to book your holiday in advance if you intend to visit during Easter, as the island gets a heavy rush of tourists on this occasion. The island experiences its peak tourist season during the months of January and February. Tenerife has a fantastic climate and is a destination that can be visited at any time of the year, but some tourists find the hotter months of June and July a bit uncomfortable.

During your Tenerife holidays, you'll get to explore the most fabulous attractions on the island. One of them is Teide National Park, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular places visited by tourists across the world. This park is located on Mount Teide, which is Spain's highest mountain. Another exciting place worth visiting is a small fishing village called Punta del Hidalgo, located in the municipality of San Cristobal de La Laguna. While exploring this village, you can visit any of the local restaurants to relish some traditional delicacies of the region.

While enjoying your Tenerife holidays, you'll also get the opportunity to indulge in some exciting activities outdoors. Among them is snorkelling and hiking, which can be enjoyed in Costa Adeje. Upon getting to Los Gigantes, you'll get the chance to watch the whales and dolphins in action as many of them head to the sea along the cliffs. The hiking trails located in the village of Masca would lead you through some fascinating natural surroundings besides giving you an adventurous hike. While in the Anaga region, you can find some enchanting beaches and forest regions that have some thrilling adventures in store for you.

Some delectable varieties of the local cuisine can also be enjoyed while holidaying on the Spanish island. One of the most popular ones is Papas Arrugadas, which is served with 'Mojo Verde' or the green salsa and 'Mojo Rojo' or the red salsa. Yet another delectable treat you can't afford to miss during your time spent in Tenerife is Churros de Pescado.
