About this ebook

Tenerife is not just the most visited island in Spain — it is one of the most geographically extraordinary places in the Atlantic world. At its center rises the Teide, the third highest volcano on Earth measured from its oceanic base and the highest point in Spain, its caldera a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of lava formations and endemic plants found nowhere else on the planet. At its northeastern tip, the ancient laurisilva cloud forest of the Anaga — a relic of a forest type that disappeared from mainland Europe millions of years ago — drapes the oldest mountains on the island in a permanent mist that belongs more to prehistory than to the present.


In this complete travel guide, Sofía Kristiansen takes you through every layer of the island: the volcanic national park and its extraordinary skies, the colonial towns of the north — La Orotava, Garachico, La Laguna — with their UNESCO-listed architecture and their Canarian food culture, the dramatic Masca gorge and the whale-watching waters off Los Gigantes, the Carnival of Santa Cruz that turns the capital into the second largest street party in the world, and the papas arrugadas with mojo that define a cuisine as specific to this island as any in Spain. Tenerife contains a continent. This guide helps you find it.
