Tenerife

Begin your Canary Island adventure in the sun on the largest of the seven islands, Tenerife. The island is relatively easy to get to in a Tenerife car hire.

Tenerife serves as a convenient gateway to the rest of the Canary Islands as it is the only Spanish Island with two airports.

Spend some time relaxing and enjoying the pleasant town of Pureto de la Cruz. Once made popular for their health spa, now visitors come for the lush gardens and many fine restaurants. Take a stroll around the town and enjoy the city's many historically significant and artistic buildings, such as the church of Nuestra Señora de la Peña, la Ermita de San Telmo, El Castillo de San Felipe, and the old quay where you can see old traditional fishing boats.

Puerto de la Cruz also features a series of seawater pools known as the Lago Martinez. Conceived by the Canary artist Cesar Manrique, this is a perfect spot to come for bathing and soaking up some sun. Other fantastic places for sunshine in the area include Playa Jardin and Martianez, two beautiful and unique beaches of volcanic sand.

To experience the flora and fauna of the Canary Islands during your stay make a trip in your Tenerife car rental to the outskirts of Puerto de la Cruz to visit Loro Park. Founded in 1788, Loro Park houses a fantastic botanical garden with an extensive number of trees and plants from the Canary Islands as well as from around the world. Loro Park also features a tropical garden with the largest collection of parrots in the world and an excellent dolphinarium.
