There are a significantly high number of holidaymakers looking for cheap holidays in Tenerife at the moment and many great deals are available. Tenerife is one of the best known European destinations, but holidays to Tenerife do not have to be in a concrete hotel resort - it has much more to offer with accommodation on banana plantations, jazz festivals and a thriving cultural scene as well as the nightlife, restaurants and beaches you might not expect to find on a holiday in Tenerife. If it is culture or heritage you are seeking, you will not be disappointed as the largest volcanic Canary Island has well-preserved colonial architecture in the likes of Orotava. The Calatrave Opera House which hosts concerts nearly every evening, a historic sea port and the new Oscar Domínguez Institute of Modern Art and Culture are other attractions.
There is no compromise on entertainment or value as a holiday in Tenerife offers you a wide range of activities to enjoy, including resort water sports and the option to take a ferry to the nearby island of Gomera to explore the unspoilt haven of rocks and coves. Dolphin spotting tours depart from the tiny town of Los Gigantes and there are excellent diving facilities. Perhaps a cable car trip up El Teide, the highest mountain in Spain, would make your Tenerife holiday really breathtaking as you climb 4,000 feet in just eight short minutes to catch a view over the Las Cañadas national park where scenes from ‘Star Wars’ were filmed. The El Monasterio is an old monastery on a hilltop overlooking the valley and is well worth a visit and you can sample traditional Spanish cuisine and tapas which will make your holiday in Tenerife really memorable.
Just because you maybe on a cheap holiday to Tenerife this does not mean you shouldn’t enjoy the local shopping, especially as many items are tax free. The two main shopping areas are Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz, although bear in mind that most shops close from 2pm to 5pm for the afternoon siesta. For souvenirs from your holidays in Tenerife, local craft studios produce items including pottery, lacework, exquisite embroidery and it’s quite amazing what the locals can make from a few banana leaves.
