When to go to Tenerife (Santa Cruz)?
Everything on Tenerife arranges itself around Teide, a volcano that pushes through the cloud layer and turns the land at its feet into red-black desert. Down on the coast, Playa de las Américas keeps up its noise and its sunloungers, while the Anaga range holds dripping laurel forest under near-permanent mist. Loro Parque adds tropical colour and birdsong.
