Tenerife

Not that we’d recommend it, but did you know that smoking here costs half of what it does in most other parts of Europe? And if you need a light, there’s always El Teide, the island’s active volcano that towers above everything and everyone at an impressive 3718 meters above sea level. Not quite as high but equally impressive are the pyramids of Güímar. Opinion is divided about the how and the why but that makes these monuments all the more intriguing. Less mysterious but no less worth a visit is the island of La Gomera. Don’t be surprised if you spot over a dozen dolphins on the ferry crossing. Stick to the beaches, in other words, and you’re likely to miss it all! Buy cheap tickets to Tenerife offered by TUIfly and Brussels Airlines.
