Top Family Days Out on Tenerife

When this happens, it might be time for an excursion – and luckily, Tenerife has a fantastic amount for families to do.

Taste Tenerife in Puerto de la Cruz’s Fishing District

20 March, 2017

If you’re looking for traditional fishing village charm and authentic Canarian cuisine then the Ranilla District of Puerto de la Cruz on the Spanish island of Tenerife is the ideal place to head to. While much of Tenerife has bowed under the pressure of modern tourism demands, Puerto de la Cruz has held its head high and retained much of its traditional appeal.

One of the first tourist hot spots in Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz became fashionable internationally in the nineteenth century as a spa town. It may just be this longevity as a centre for tourism which has led it to understand, and hold on to, the charm and authenticity which made it so popular in the first place.

The Ranilla District is very much at the heart of this act of conservation, having been declared a Centre of Historic and Cultural Interest back in 1985.

Formerly the town’s fishing district and home to many of its fishermen, it has, in recent years, become the town’s culinary heart with over 300 restaurants with their terraces spilling out on to its pedestrianised streets. The district has never forgotten its connection with the island’s fishing heritage though and today celebrates it with a fantastic range of seafood served nightly in its bustling restaurants.

Los Cristianos

Deep Relaxation in Los Cristianos

18 February, 2017

If you’re chasing a week of winter sun, or looking for somewhere warm to spend a little longer, Los Cristianos, on the south coast of Tenerife, is one of the most popular resorts in the Canary Islands – and for very good reason. This delightful former fishing village has it all: safe beaches, fishing and pleasure cruises, day excursions to encounter the wildlife or explore neighbouring islands, and some superb restaurants to sample the delicious Spanish cuisine.

But sometimes, even when you’re on holiday, you need that little bit of extra pampering to make you feel totally relaxed. The resort has a number of excellent spa, beauty and wellness facilities that offer everything from luxuriant skin treatments to remedial deep tissue massage – and quite a lot in between.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Party the Night Away at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival

17 February, 2017

It may be hard to imagine but right now, as you sit reading this blog, one of the world’s biggest parties is in full swing on the sunny streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

As you read this, Carnival Queens are appearing in sequins and exotic plumage, dancers are parading through the streets accompanied by Latin and Samba beats and crowds (many in fancy dress) are partying in the city’s many squares. Makes you wonder why you’re still sitting there reading instead of booking the next flight over to Tenerife, doesn’t it?

Spain is a country famous for knowing how to throw a good party, with similar Lent festivals held in Cadiz and Puerto de la Cruz, but the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival is the country’s very best and biggest fiesta. In fact, it is second only to Rio de Janeiro in the stakes for best carnival of the world.
