Book Cheap Flights To Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of Canary Islands of Spain, off West Africa. It is influenced by Mt. Teide, a dormant volcano, also known as the tallest peak of Spain. Tenerife may be best known for its Carnaval de Santa Cruz, a vast pre-Lent festival with lively music, parades, dancing and colourful costumes.

The Tenerife Carnival takes place in February mainly in Santa Cruz and is held in the weeks leading up to Lent. The party culminates in a parade through town when the ritual of the Burial of the Sardine takes place. For this tradition, a huge model sardine is carried through the streets followed by weeping mourners, and is eventually burned, marking the end of the festivities. Take a flight to Tenerife and see the capital city of Santa Cruz boasts a lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere. This is one of Spain’s largest ports, with plenty of leafy parks, tax-free shopping, historical theatres, and both white and black sand beaches.
