When you visit Tenerife, you should be aware that it is called the Island of Eternal Spring. The reason for this is because of its equal equilibrated climate and an abundance of vegetation in the north. The wind that blows high in the mountains and cools the sea current is responsible for the good balance on weather conditions the whole year-round. Tenerife is a wonderful place to spend a family vacation. The history of this island is very unique and started more than 20 million years ago with the volcanic eruption that formed this island. The oldest mountain ranges rose from the Atlantic much later about eight to twelve million years ago.
There is much to do and see on this island and people of all ages can enjoy what is offered to visitors. This island has it all - exotic beaches, pyramids, museums and so much more. It will leave you with a feeling that this is the best vacation you have ever experienced.
