El Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands

So much to see

Tenerife is one of the eight Canary Islands that comprise Spain's southernmost autonomous region. They are a wonder of natural, geographic and demographic diversity, with 250km of beaches and four protected national parks.

Tenerife boasts a great number of distinct microclimates, and these contribute to its extreme biodiversity and unique geography. It has the most protected areas in the archipelago, as well as a national park and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Tenerife's El Teide is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the third-largest volcano in the world as measured from its base, as well as being the site of the professional Teide Observatory. The island is considered one of the top 3 astronomical observation areas on the planet.

Guía de Isora, Abama’s municipality, has the best microclimate on Tenerife, benefitting from both the trade winds and the Gulf Stream. 61% of its territory is protected, and the Teide National Park offers incredible vistas, hiking and opportunities to observe flora and fauna.
