Tenerife Climate

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands for land mass and population. It also attracts more visitors than any other island each year. It’s estimated that over 5 million tourists jet off to this beautiful volcanic island every year. The main reason for the high level of tourism is the excellent climate in Tenerife. This island is also one of the warmest places to visit during winter and spring as the temperatures further north are freezing.
