🤔 BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO TENERIFE

For a sun and beach holiday, the best months are from April to October; however, for an active tourism getaway to enjoy the island's vegetation, the ideal time is the beginning of the year and autumn, as temperatures are lower at this time of year.

✔ WHAT TO DO IN TENERIFE

You can't miss the wonder of Teide National Park. You'll enjoy landscapes that seem otherworldly. You'll walk among volcanic lava and feel tiny as you take in the breathtaking surroundings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And don't leave without visiting the Cliffs of the Giants. At their base, the seabed, some 30 meters deep, harbors a wealth of marine life that attracts diving and deep-sea fishing enthusiasts.

🌮 YOU CAN'T LEAVE TENERIFE WITHOUT TRYING IT

Here are 3 recommendations of typical Tenerife dishes that you should try:

1. Wrinkled potatoes with mojo picón. Red mojo is made with peppers, oil, garlic, as well as breadcrumbs and hot pepper - although the spiciness threshold is usually reasonable - and green mojo, whose main ingredient is fresh cilantro.

2. Gofio: This is an unsifted flour made from toasted grains. Wheat and corn are the most common, but barley or legume flour such as chickpeas can also be used. Its color is usually brown, although it varies depending on the grains used in its preparation.

3. Watercress stew: A good place to try homemade stews are the guachinches, humble establishments where homemade food and wine are sold.

👁🗨 CURIOSITIES OF TENERIFE

Mount Teide casts the world's largest shadow on the sea. This remarkable effect is due to the island's unique characteristics, including its proximity to the ocean and the mountain's steep incline. This effect can be observed from the volcano itself at sunset or sunrise.
