Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is a unique destination that offers an exceptional combination of landscapes, culture and experiences.
See for yourself the contrast between the north and the south parts of the island and all its microclimates. The south welcomes you with its warm golden sand beaches and sunny days all year round. While the north is the place where you’ll find green and lush natural spaces, with impressive cliffs that emerge from the Atlantic.
La Casa del Barranco, strategically located in the town of Fasnia, is the perfect place to explore the whole island. From here, you can go to the north side, where Anaga rural park will enchant you with its dense forests and its trails.
In this part of Tenerife, you can also enjoy unique places like Playa Jardín, in Puerto de la Cruz. On the other side of the island, you can also find beaches like Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas, where the vibe is more touristic and upbeat.
If you want to enjoy breathtaking views of the island, visit the Teide cable car. It will take you to the top of Mount Teide, the highest mountain in Spain that protects the island like a volcanic giant. From here, you’ll be able to see, if the weather allows it, many of the other islands that form the archipelago.
The cultural wealth of Tenerife is another of its irresistible charms. You can’t miss the old town of La Laguna, full of colonial architecture and cobbled streets; or the always lively Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which offers vibrant cultural and culinary options.
And speaking of, Canarian food will be sure to heighten your senses. The “guachinches”, typical local bars, are a treasure that cannot be missed. When you visit, you’ll be able to enjoy home-cooked meals and local wine. Try “mojo rojo” and “mojo verde” with “papas arrugadas”, and enjoy fresh fish in seaside towns like San Miguel de Tajao.
For those who like geology, the incredible Cueva del Viento is a must during your visit. It’s a system of volcanic tubes that shows the volcanic origin of the island.
La Casa del Barranco offers you a haven of tranquillity and comfort so you can explore the natural beauty and cultural wealth of Tenerife.
