Tenerife Coast & Country - Solo Traveller

Today marks the start of your Solo Traveller holiday to Tenerife. Upon arrival in Tenerife, you will be met at the airport by our local representative and transferred by coach to your hotel. Let's get to know your fellow travellers this evening for a welcome drink and over dinner and get ready for a wonderful holiday.

This morning you will have a full day to relax and settle into your hotel. Why not get your bearings with a leisurely stroll through Puerto de la Cruz, which has a great selection of bars, restaurants and cafes and is surrounded by several beaches.  Or else, take a stroll down the beach at Playa Jardin, one of the black lava sand beaches for which the volcanic island of Tenerife is renowned. The choice is yours!

You will have a half day guided excursion to Santa Cruz. After breakfast you will travel to the famous seaport which is one of Spain's busiest and is the joint capital of the Canary Islands. This city was recently named one of the best five places in the world to live by "The Guardian" newspaper. 

You will then move on to visit the Basilica of Candelaria, to view the famous statue of the Black Madonna and bronze statues of the 'Guanches'. The Guanches were the original inhabitants of the Canary Islands and while it is generally believed that they no longer exist as a distinct ethnicity, many traces of their culture remain.

Discover the charm of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its beautifully preserved colonial architecture and historic grid-patterned streets, which inspired many colonial towns in the Americas. Stroll through its vibrant plazas, visit centuries-old churches, and soak up the cultural heritage of this captivating city on a leisurely half-day exploration.

Savour more of your relaxing holiday in Tenerife with a full day to enjoy at your leisure. Why not take some time of the other attractions outside the town centre, such as the botanical gardens, which have a large range of tropical and subtropical trees, plants and flowers. Or else relax on the beach or enjoy a coffee and watch the world go by in a waterfront café.

This morning we will leave for Icod de los Vinos, site of the ancient dragon tree and a symbol of Tenerife. Next we will take a walk through Garachico, once the main port of the island destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the 18th century, today considered one of the most beautiful towns in the Canary Islands.

The tour continues towards the heart of the island where the highest mountain in Spain rises. The Teide National Park is not only a national park but also a world heritage by UNESCO for being one of the most important volcanic landscapes in the world, and the most visited NP in Spain. Dominated by the highest peak in Spain, Mount Teide itself, this is a true highlight of any trip to Tenerife.

On your final day take some time to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Why not take a walk to Puerto de la Cruz and shop for some last-minute souvenirs or visit Loro Parque (Parrot Park), which is a theme park and zoo that is amongst the largest in the world.
