Alameda del Duque de Santa Elena, Santa Cruz de Tenerife libre It was built in 1797 by order of the Commander General of the Canaries, Marquis of Branciforme, and by popular subscription. It was the place to walk for families from Santa Cruz, and was a real balcony overlooking the sea, from which you could see the arrival of people to the capital's port. One of the most famous visits in living memory was that of King Alfonso XIII. The environment has been recently restored following the project of the Swiss architects Herzog & De Meuron. The work has included the rebuilding of a replica of The Alameda porch. Fue construido en 1797 por orden del Comandante General de las Canarias, Marqués de Branciforme, y por suscripción popular.

Barranco del Infierno, Tenerife Sur Barranco del Infierno is a deep gorge with latelar slopes, created by water erosion over a seven million years period. The trail starts at a 350 meters altitude, in the town of Adeje, next to the old mill. The barranco narrows as we walk through it and its vertical walls seem to close over the visitor's head. The first part of the trail, in the most low and dry areas, passes through an hillside populated by tabaibas and cardoons. Higher, when the soil gets damper, willows lay on barranco's riverbed. Species as dragos and sabinas cover the unaccessible slopes, hanging on rocks as expert tightrope walkers, while pinetrees start to appear at distance. At the end of the trail, there is a majestic 200 meters high waterfall. Barranco del Infierno es una profunda garganta con pendientes latelar, creadas por la erosión del agua durante un perí­odo de siete millones de años. [ + más ]

Basílica de Nuestra Seí±ora de la Candelaria, Tenerife East libre At the end of the 14th century, some one hundred years before the conquest of Tenerife, a Gothic carving of the Virgin of Candelaria appeared on the coasts of the Güí­mar Valley. The Guanches worshipped this statue and gave it the name of Chaxiraxi. From 1526, this image remained in the sanctuary that the second governor of Tenerife, Pedro Fernández de Lugo, ordered to be built. However, this primitive statue disappeared during a torrential rainstorm in 1826. The current statue is the work of Fernando Estévez from Tenerife, completed in 1827. The basilica is the work of architect Enrique Marrero Regalado. It was built in 1959 thanks to the initiative of the Bishop of Tenerife, Domingo Pérez Cáceres, who was born in Güí­mar. It is built in a regional style, with three naves, a roof that imitates the Mudejar style and crowned with a 25-metre high dome. The central tower stands over 45 metres high and includes a typical Canarian balcony. The main chapel contains the statue of the Virgin of Candelaria, which Pope Clement VIII proclaimed the patron saint of the Canarian Archipelago in 1599. This title was ratified in 1867 by Pope Pius IX. Inside there are murals by José Aguiar and works by the painter Martí­n González. Other works include the Christ of Reconciliation, a baroque monstrance (the vessel used by the Roman Catholic Church to display the Eucharist, during Adoration) made in the 18th century, and a baptism font of great historical value from the 16th century. Although the liturgical festival of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria takes place on the 2nd of February, on the 15th of August her appearance is celebrated. On this date people from all over the island make a pilgrimage to the basilica. The nearby fountain is called the Pilgrims' Fountain. To one side of the basilica is the Dominican Monastery, built in 1803 after the original monastery caught fire. The monastery is run by the Dominicans, who since 1530 have been the chaplains of the Candelaria Basilica. Once you have passed the monastery you arrive at a cave called the Cueva de Achbinico or of San Blas, where the Guanches placed the original image, whose archeological importance is demonstrated. Next to the Plaza de la Patrona de Canarias there are large, bronze statues of nine Guanche Menceyes (Kings) by the sculptor José Abad from Tenerife. A finales del siglo 14, unos cien años antes de la conquista de Tenerife, una talla gótica de la Virgen de Candelaria apareció en las ... [ + más ]

Camel Park, Tenerife Sur The Canary Islands, a few miles from the West African coast of Western Sahara, have, in some parts, a climate and vegetation suitable for life camel. Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and the southern part of Gran Canaria and Tenerife are desert climate zones, in which only the animal and the ass have been used without major adjustment problems. Due to these reasons of proximity and, shortly after the conquest of the islands by the Spanish began to arrive the first camels to the eastern islands, later extended throughout much of the islands. Its main use has been tilling the land and carrying loads and people, until a few years ago when the introduction of mechanical means has made this animal obsolete . Only in recent years, thanks to tourism, this animal has found once again a new way of life and appear in the landscape of the Canary Islands. Camel Park was the first camel breeding center in Tenerife. They started operations in 1988 with 15 camels on a banana farm located in Guaza and by 1993 they had managed to gather more than 60 animals. At that time, camel safaris took place on the mountain cliffs from Guaza to Palmar, and people were received back at the park with a Canarian meal and plenty of sangria to spare. In 1995 they bought a typical Canarian finca, situated between la Camella and Chayofa, and since then they have offered customers a welcoming environment, in touch with nature and in the company of farm animals.

Cueva del Viento, Tenerife North The Cueva del Viento (Cave of the Wind) is a volcanic cavity located in the district of Icod de los Vinos bearing the same name. Formed 27,000 years ago in basaltic lavas from the Pico Viejo volcano during its first eruptive phase, it is located in the foothills of Mount Teide. This tube is the fourth longest in the world (18 kilometres) and is a true labyrinthine network of underground passages, with many unexplored ramifications, which will permit the future expansion of its length as exploration continues. Apart from its size, the Cueva del Viento is noted for its unique geomorphology. Its network of galleries consists of three superimposed levels, a phenomenon that has not been noted anywhere else in the world. Its name is due to the significant flows of air that occur in its interior. Biologically the greatest relevance of this tube lies in its subterranean fauna which provides a constant source of new findings. The cave has a total of 190 known species. Of these, forty-eight are troglobites, animals that can live only in the subsurface environment. Among these species doomed to live in the dark, fifteen are new to science such as the eyeless cockroach Loboptera subterránea or the ground beetles or carabids Wolltinerfia martini and Woltinerfia tenerifae. From a geomorphological perspective, the Cueva del Viento features a wide variety of structures such as lava stalactites, lava cascades, side terraces and lava lakes among others, as well as exogenous concretions of different composition (calcium carbonate, cristobalite, and other silica compounds). Inside are also lots of vertebrate fossils of extinct animals like the giant rat and the giant lizard, and other skeletal remains of extinct species in Tenerife such as the Rook and the Houbara Bustard.

El Drago Milenario, Tenerife NorthWest libre Legends say that when dragons die they become dragon trees, and it is obvious why this living fossil is one of the symbols of the Canary Islands, and maybe even the greatest treasure of Canarian flora. When one looks at its peculiar shape, it is also not surprising that the tree was considered a divine tree by the early inhabitants of the islands. Until recently, Dracaena draco was considered to be native to Madeira, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde; however, it has now also been found in wild populations in Morocco. The islands are home to a number of impressive dragon trees. The great explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt was greatly impressed when in the Franchy Gardens he saw before him a giant 25-metre high dragon tree with a 23-metre circumference, although there has been disagreement regarding these measurements. This tree, unfortunately, disappeared following strong winds in 1867. Today, the largest and most famous dragon tree, which has a diameter of 20 metres at the base and is 17 metres high, stands majestically in Icod de Los Vinos (Tenerife). It weighs approximately 150 tonnes not including the roots. There has been much debate over the age of the tree, and some say it may be over 5000 years old; however, recent estimates suggest that the tree is no more than 800 to 1000 years old. Las leyendas dicen que cuando los dragones mueren se convierten en dragos, y es obvio por qué este fósil viviente es uno de los sí­mbolos ... [ + más ]

Garachico, Tenerife NorthWest libre Garachico is today one of the most important historical centers of the Canaries. The town itself nestles below a 500m+ (1500 ft) cliff, one of the least spoilt coastal area of Tenerife. There is no beach worth mentioning; the coastline is essentially volcanic debris, but this does give the town its charm and a reason to visit it. The rich legacy of past historical and artistic heritage and the special care has been taken in their preservation, earned him the award in 1980, the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts. Respect for that legacy has enabled Garachico to present today a rich display of art in the Canaries, particularly of urbanism and traditional architecture of the Archipelago.

Masca, Tenerife NorthWest libre The Rural Park of Teno, in the municipality of Buenavista del Norte (the Isla Baja region), is where one can find the deepest ravines of the island. Here, surrounded by amazing escarpments, lies the hamlet of Masca. This picturesque hamlet, which has been declared an area of ethnographical and architectural interest, is one of the best examples of the Canary Island´s natural architecture and in principle has been preserved due to the sheer difficulty in gaining access to the hamlet until recent years. The oldest building in the Masca valley is the Casa de los Avinculados, in Caserí­o de la Piedra. Masca´s small 18th century church is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. The Masca ravine is one of the most spectacular in the island. Its descent, down to the sea, is awesome.

Ocean Swimming, All Areas libre First things first, you can swim in the sea at any time of the year in Tenerife. However, there are a few things that you need to know about swimming in the waters around Tenerife before taking the plunge. Sea temperatures around Tenerife’s coastline vary very little between summer and winter, staying around 19/22C. It’s a pleasant temperature for swimming in… as long as the sun is shining. Whilst sea temperatures change little throughout the year, the temperature above water does. It’s one thing diving into refreshing waters when thermometers are steaming at 30+ in summer, but diving into the same water when it’s winter and 21C on the beach is more likely to result in a high-pitched yelp. When you head to the sea on a sunny January day, the water feels welcoming enough. But if it clouds over and the sun’s warmth is stolen, it can be a very different and goose pimply picture. The biggest obstacle to swimming in the sea in Tenerife isn’t the temperature, it’s the waves. For anyone staying in the southern resorts of Los Cristianos, Playa de la Américas and Costa Adeje waves are less of a problem. Resort beaches tend to be man-made with protective breakwaters or even near a harbour which keeps the waves at bay most of the time. Playa Las Teresitas outside of Santa Cruz is the same and perfect for those who like the sea to be like a lagoon. Head north where beaches are more rugged, dramatic and exposed to the Atlantic and it’s a very different picture. La Orotava’s beaches at Playa Bollullo are some of the most attractive on Tenerife, but swimming there is only recommended if you’re as at home in the sea as the average mermaid. At Puerto de la Cruz, the ferocity of the Atlantic rollers can make a dip in the sea a bit of a lottery. Even if it’s a gloriously sunny day, the lifeguards could be flying a green flag (strip off and dive in), a yellow (dive in but don’t stray too far) or a red (no swimming even if you’re a dolphin). The worst time for lively waves is during the change of seasons. In October/November and March/April there can be some pretty spectacular displays on Tenerife’s beaches. If you venture onto the beaches without breakwaters during this period, keep an eye on the waves crashing on the sand; more than once we’ve had to leg it up the beach to escape wayward waves that threatened to drag our towels and clothes back into the deep blue. ompared to some places, sea-life around Tenerife is friendly but occasionally you have to be aware of potential hazards. The last few weeks have seen an invasion of jellyfish in some parts with El Médano, Los Cristianos, Playa San Juan and Los Gigantes suffering from an influx of the stingy, wobbly creatures. Lifeguards post warning notices if there are any dangers, so always take note of flags and signs before diving into the unknown. Lo primero es lo primero, se puede nadar en el mar en cualquier época del año en Tenerife. Sin embargo, hay algunas cosas que usted ... [ + más ]

Scuba Diving, All Areas You will come across incredible landscapes that make you aware of an astonishing natural world. The east and west coasts offer some very good diving, specifically from Los Gigantes. One of the dives is Sting Ray City where you to descend to 18 metres and feed the rays with fish heads etc. The size of the rays can be up to 4 metres (12 feet) - a great experience. Near Masca, which is for advanced divers, at 47 metres down there is a large cave with black corals, white bearded antheas, large morays and very good light and visibility. There is a diving site at Playa de las Americas/Los Cristianos. El Meridian is an old yacht measuring approx. 56 feet. It was deliberately sunk in the autumn of 2005 as a dive site to a depth of 30 meters on a sandy sea bed next to a rocky reef. Then there is the Cueva de Palm Mar. This is a 40 metre dive for advanced divers with good visibility. Descending to 16 meters you swim off the edge of a cliff down to a cave entrance at 30 metres.

Further along the coast to Santa Cruz de Tenerife there is some good diving. One of the wrecks is the The Condesito which lies 3km from Las Galletas harbour.

Submarine Safari, Tenerife Sur BACKGROUND Submarine Safaris set up his operations in Tenerife in 2007 in the south of the island at Marina San Miguel. This marina was specifically chosen as dive site due to the variety of marine life and especially the Stingrays. Since they started in Tenerife they have tried to develop their diving area into an underwater marine park. They have attracted a number of stingrays, which are now part of the Submarines family. Divers look after these rays, ensuring they maintain a natural environment for them to breed and develop. Submarines are designed to be 100% environmentally friendly. They are powered solely by batteries, and they have no oils or pollutants onboard, which could either harm the marine life, or their habitat. A free bus service operates from all the major resorts on the island, including the North of Tenerife, to bring you down to Marina San Miguel. The reception centre has its own Terrace café with great views looking towards Mount Teide for a refreshment before or after the dive. You will also find a shopping area where you can purchase all your souvenirs from your dive, plus much more. In the Marina there are a number of other activities such as a diving club, fishing etc...

Teide Cable Car, All Areas A visit to the summit of Mt Teide by cable car offers a great view of the spectacular landscape of the Canary Islands' largest national park. Its special climate, altitude and volcanic formations are an invitation to contemplation and enjoyment of a special moment you will remember all your life. Visiting Teide volcano is always different: the effects of the light as the day wears on, the seasons and their changing weather patterns make for a new and surprising landscape. Yet two sensations remain unchanged: the immensity of the landscape and the stunning silence. Teide is at its most emblematic at sunrise and sunset. The spectacularity of these moments is orchestrated by the changing tones of the sky and the light reflecting off the rocks. This is why we recommend you visit early in the morning, from 9 am on, when the views are at their most impressive. Spring is the best time to visit Teide. Flowering broom and tajinaste blanket the vast landscape in an explosion of red and white. The weather is milder, just right for enjoying routes and trails. It is the perfect time for botany enthusiasts. Winter snows cover the lava flows and badlands in a mantle of white. Large pools reflect a landscape of contrasts of extraordinary beauty. Many visitors are fortunate to catch a glimpse of the first snowfall. When evening comes, the impressive shadow of the volcano descends upon everything, projecting over the sea. Night-time is one of the national park's greatest attractions when the sky fills with stars. One of the five most important astrophysics observatories in the world is located here: the Observatorio del Teide. www.iac.es For the Guanches, the primitive settlers of Tenerife, Mt Teide was a sacred volcano, comparable to Mt Fuji, Mt Olympus and Mt Kilimanjaro.
