Airline and stops

Best time to visit
Tenerife enjoys a subtropical climate year-round. Autumn and winter (October to March) see fewer tourists and milder temperatures if you're coming from Australian heat. Spring offers sunshine without crowds. Avoid August if you prefer quieter beaches. The sample date is November, a solid choice.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land in the north of the island (Tenerife Norte). Mount Teide is essential: take the cable car up Spain's highest volcano. Beaches like Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas in the south are popular. Explore colonial towns such as La Orotava and La Laguna. Local food (papas arrugadas, mojo sauce) is excellent. Hire a car for freedom to explore.
