Tenerife, much more than just beaches and volcanoes
Tenerife, the land of fire and water, is the largest of the 7 islands making up the Canaries Archipelago. With the rugged beauty of its unusual landscapes, its centrepoint is the Teide, the island's best-known volcano and the highest peak in Spain, set in the Natural Park of the same name.

Tenerife is famous for its black beaches, created by heavy volcanic activity in the past. The eruptions of the island¿s numerous volcanoes gave rise to the unusual landscapes we know today. The Teide, with a height of 3718 metres, is the third highest volcano in the world and the highest mountain in Spain.

The village of Icod de los Vinos in north-east Tenerife is known for the wine-making tradition which gave it its name. But Icod is not only well-known for its wines: it is also famous as the home of the "Drago milenario" or thousand-year-old dragon tree, which belongs to a species endemic to the Canary Islands and which was declared National Heritage in 1917.
