Transfers from the airports to your resort can be booked prior to travel, or buses and taxis are available just outside the terminal doors. Car hire in Tenerife is a fantastic option; not only can you save on the cost of transfers, but it's your passport to exploration of this wild and rugged landscape, where banana plantations jostle for space with scenery carved out by fiery volcanoes.
Brits flock to resorts such as Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos and Puerto de la Cruz, where bars and clubs dominate the evening scene. Quieter resorts include Costa Adeje, Los Gigantes, Playa Paraiso, Playa de la Arena, Puerto de Santiago, and wild and windy Costa del Silencio, which has become a wind surfing haven thanks to the strong Atlantic winds that hit the coast here.
Santa Cruz is the capital of Tenerife and is the place to be for shopping, great restaurants and all the fun of the fiestas, the best of which is Carnaval, which takes place around Lent.
Tenerife's waterparks are worth a visit for a change of pace, with Siam Park and Aqualand to be found on the west coast near Playa de las Americas. Loro Parque is a wildlife park in Puerto de la Cruz, where whales and dolphins frolic alongside penguins and sea lions.
Other excursions on magnificent Tenerife include trips up Spain's highest point, Mount Teide, or tours of the mystifying pyramids of Guimar.
