Tenerife
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Tenerife is the greatest of the Canary Islands.
Geologically it growed up from a vulcano, the Teide. Island capitol is Santa Cruz de Tenerife, other important cities are Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava and La Laguna, all in the north of the island.
Actually the island lives on turism industry.
Tenerife has two international airports, one in the north near Santa Cruz, one in the south near the centres of tourism in Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje and Los Christianos.
Greatest tourist attraction are the vulcano Teide (top is more than 3,000 m over the sea) and the Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz.
