Living in Tenerife

The areas as I see them, Luca, after years on the islands.

Tenerife is the largest and most populated island in the archipelago, and the most varied: the south, from Los Cristianos to Costa Adeje and on to Playa San Juan, is dry and sunny almost all year round, and it's where tourism, multilingual services and most of the enquiries we receive are concentrated; the north, with La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz and La Laguna, is greener, cooler and more distinctly Canarian in everyday life.

In between sits Mount Teide, which changes the climate from one side of the island to the other within a few kilometres. People looking for a home here often choose on that basis: sun and sea in the south, town life and gardens in the north. The island has two airports with direct flights.

Numbers and municipalities come from public sources; the rest is my own experience. If an area catches your eye, message me and I'll tell you about it in person.
