Hertz in Tenerife
The island of Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, which lie off the coast of West Africa but belong to Spain. It's a major tourist destination thanks to its year-round sunshine. Tenerife is shaped like a pyramid, and is only 50 miles across but the huge mountain at the centre is the highest in Spain. The 3,718m peak is the world's third highest volcano on a volcanic ocean island. South of the mountain, Tenerife is dry and hot; north of the mountain it is more humid and dank. The desert-like south contains most of the resorts, while the more tropical north is home to locals, farms and industry.
Many visitors are transferred to their resorts and never leave the premises for the duration of their stay. But hiring a cam from Tenerife means you can easily explore the whole island – and there's plenty to see. Start in the middle. El Teide dominates the island. The huge mountain forms the centre of an extraordinary volcanic moonscape of twisted coloured rocks and craters. From the foot of the mountain a cable car can take you almost to the summit. Head south from here to find the lively modern resorts like Los Cristianos and Las Americas with their black volcanic sand beaches. Los Gigantes is quieter and has spectacular basalt cliffs. To the east, you can explore the more peaceful forested slopes and the mysterious ancient pyramids at Güímar. The north coast resorts like Puerto de la Cruz and Garachico are sedate and leafy, with old colonial architecture and banana plantations. To many, the north-east corner of the island is the ‘real' Tenerife. The majority of locals live here among steep mountains covered with lush vegetation. You'll find picturesque plantations, fishing villages and the grand old town of La Laguna. Finally, explore the island's non-touristy capital, Santa Cruz, which has a busy port, charming old city centre and spectacular waterfront opera house.
