If you are considering buying
property in Tenerife, perhaps you would like to know more about the
island...
Tenerife, which forms part of the Canary Islands , has a superb year-round
sub tropical climate, which has created a full twelve month holiday industry.
It is also a duty free island, which means that many goods are much cheaper
than mainland Spain or other European countries. Tenerife has therefore
become, apart from a holiday destination 'par excellence', the first choice
for many who wish to spend winter under the sun, take early retirement
or those who are looking for an investment opportunity.
With the relaxed atmosphere all year round,
Tenerife offers many different activities for both visitors and residents
alike. Whether you like windsurfing at El Medano, Scuba diving in Las
Galletas or perhaps paragliding from the Adeje hills, there is something
for everyone.
Tenerife also has several fine international golf courses
and any number of superb nature walks. If you prefer to soak up the sun
and relax there is also a wide choice; from the rocky inlets to the black,
volcanic sand beaches and from the man-made beaches with imported sand
to the natural white sand ones. |

This volcanic island has the highest mountain in Spain, El Teide (3717m2),
varied terrain; the huge Cañadas crater with its amazing rock formation,
the laurel forest and subtropical coastline around the north west and, of
course, its beaches. From its clear coastal waters you can watch whales
and dolphins in their natural habitat. You can follow the wine trails, or
enjoy the silence of Tenerife 's volcanic ravines; discover charming, old
world towns such as La Orotava and La Laguna, or visit the capital city
Santa Cruz with its abundance of shops. Go to Loro Parque where you can
see an enormous variety of animal life and nature conservation at its best
and then, in the evening, enjoy the dinner-dances, visit the discos or some
of the thousands of bars and restaurants.

And if you happen to be here at the time, join the vibrant,
colourful Carnival in February which is amongst the most spectacular in
the world. All these activities are the perfect complement to golf and
beaches and should not be missed.
This wonderful island is an ideal place both to live and to have
a holiday as it caters for all age groups. In fact, you name it
and Tenerife can offer it, so come and see this wonderful Island
for yourselves. Most visitors who stay here once, return year after
year and many buy property in Tenerife for the excellent investment
potential or simply to have a second home in the sun. |
