Tenerife

Just off the west coast of Africa and with a population of 853,000, Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and as such has the most diverse terrain. Head to the north for more lush, humid conditions, complete with rain forest type vegetation and temperate climate or climb up the 3800m to the impressive lunar landscapes of Mount Teide (incidentally the highest mountain peak in Spain). You might even want to pass through the purpose built holiday resorts in the south of the island where up to half a million tourists at a time come to sample the year round warmth. Surely no where in Europe can you find such a diverse climate in an area less than 90 kms long.

It is incredibly easy to reach with a choice of two international airports supplying scheduled and charter flights to dozens of cities in Europe, Africa and beyond.
