Frequently asked questions
Should I stay in the north or south of Tenerife?
For the most sun and warmth, the south of Tenerife is the safer choice — it sees less cloud than the greener, cooler north. The north is lusher and better for hiking and scenery.
Why is the south of Tenerife sunnier?
The north-easterly trade winds push moist air against the northern slopes, where it forms cloud, while the south sits in the rain shadow — sunnier and drier.
