The Playa del Duque holiday town is located on Costa Arona of my beloved #spain and is accessible mainly by car because the transportation in the are is not excellent. The beach here is with super nice sand and I really liked the sunbathing in February. The weather is nice all year round. #happynewyear

This is exactly where the nightlife of Tenerife island is - La playa de las Americas town on Costa Arona. It is very modern resort town with luxurious resorts, hundreds of bars, discos and restaurants. It is one if the Must when visiting the canary islands... and I really love this place! #happynewyear

El pico del Teide is the highest point of Spain although it is actually not in the European continent. It is located in the Canary Islands and most exactly on the island of Tenerife. The height of the peak is above 3700m and in just 30km driving you are passing from beaches and palms to this naked scenary. There is a cable car for those who want to go up. #happynewyear

Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary Islands, which are part of Spain, although geographically located close to the northwest coast of Africa. The island is known for its natural beauty, beautiful beaches and pleasant climate all year round. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean, northwest of Africa. It has the volcano El Teide, which is the highest mountain in Spain (3,718 meters). The area is about 2,034 km². The population is about 950,000. Official language: Spanish. Many locals speak a soft and distinctive Canarian dialect. Subtropical: Warm weather all year round. Average temperature: 20–27°C. The south is drier and sunnier, while the north is greener and more humid. Two airports: Tenerife Norte (TFN) and Tenerife Sur (TFS). Public transport: Buses (guaguas), taxis and car rentals are popular with tourists. Papas arrugadas: Small potatoes with salted skins, served with mojo sauce. Gofio: Typical wheat flour used in many dishes. Fresh fish, lamb and local cheeses are also very popular. Tenerife is a major European tourist destination, especially for tourists from the UK, Germany and Scandinavia. The island is suitable for family holidays, honeymoons, adventure tourism (mountains, sea and caves), relaxation and spa.

The Canary Islands are a group of volcanic islands located deep in the Atlantic Ocean. While known for sunshine and beaches, the true uniqueness of this archipelago lies in the volcanic energy hidden deep within the Earth's crust. Tens of millions of years ago, a series of violent eruptions shaped these seven main islands and six islets, giving them a rich and diverse landscape. Lanzarote Timanfaya National Park (Parque Nacional de Timanfaya) (Figures 1-2) is almost entirely covered in volcanic ash and lava. Layers of rock in red, orange, and yellow resemble solidified flames, recording the intense geological activity that once took place within the Earth. Tenerife Here stands Spain's highest peak and the world's third-largest volcano—Mount Teide (El Teide), reaching an altitude of 3,718 meters (Figures 3-4). Its crater-like landscape and volcanic rock plateaus have attracted filmmakers, with movies like "10,000 BC" and "Star Wars" using it as a backdrop, making it feel like stepping onto another planet. La Gomera The northwest coast of this small island hides an inconspicuous yet breathtaking wonder. Los Órganos (The Organs) (Figures 5-6), a basalt cliff formation spanning 200 meters wide and about 80 meters high, rises above the sea like a giant pipe organ, naturally sculpted by cooling magma. From volcanic peaks to magma remnants, the Canary Islands showcase a world shaped by geological forces. It's not just a vacation paradise, but a journey into the deep history of our planet. 📷 If you've captured these wonders, share your photos and let others see this "volcanic archipelago."

#celebrateit Canary islands have in store a lot of things for their tourists. It is also one of the most festive countries in the world. The Spanish archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean, near the western coast of Africa. Located on the Western Coast of Africa, Canary Islands are the Atlantic territory of Spain. The Spanish archipelago consists of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. The archipelago is home to gorgeous beaches, colonial towns and beautiful islands. The largest island in the Canaries is Tenerife, which is popular for the UNESCO listed San Cristobal de la Laguna. Gran Canaria and Las Palmas also have a lot of tourist attractions like the museums, Baroque churches

Spain is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, thanks to its rich tourism resources, deep historical heritage, and unique architecture. More than 1,000 km from mainland Spain, in the Atlantic Ocean, lies a famous "enclave" known as the Canary Islands (Islas Canarias). Like a pearl in the ocean, the Canary Islands are known as the "private garden of Europe's rich." The Canary Islands have a unique geographical location, with the vegetation and natural environment of North Africa, a mild climate, and the Mediterranean culture of Spain, creating an isolated and artistic island atmosphere. The famous writer Sanmao once lived here, where she met her tragic love story, and made more Chinese people yearn for this land. The Canary Islands are made up of seven beautiful islands, facing the Sahara Desert across the sea. The largest island is La Palma, which is like a real-life paradise, primitive and tranquil. Volcanoes, beaches, forests, and oceans blend perfectly to create an ultimate beauty. The small towns and villages by the sea are scattered, exuding a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere. La Palma has a great climate and natural scenery that is completely different from the European and African continents. The pure sky, dense forests, and spectacular volcanoes are all intoxicating. Stepping on this land, you feel as if you are one with the sea, forest, and island, and you don't feel like a tourist at all. The island has less than 100,000 residents, who live a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle. The houses are built on the hills, and the residents drink coffee in their spare time, enjoying a peaceful life. It makes people sigh that this is the "poetry and distance" that people dream of. The sky of La Palma is the most unique, known as the purest and clearest sky on earth. The unique geographical location, climate conditions, and strict control of light pollution make it possible to see a clear and beautiful starry sky at night, which is why it is designated as one of the world's few "starry sky tourist destinations." There is also a legendary astronomical telescope on the island, installed on a mountain at an altitude of 2,400 meters, through which you can clearly observe the night sky, and it is loved by astronomy enthusiasts and astrophotographers. Every summer, you can take pictures of the Milky Way, which is close and breathtaking. At sunset, the beach becomes the most popular place on the island. People swim, sunbathe, and listen to the wonderful music composed of the sea breeze, waves, and open-air bands, reaching a harmonious state of unity between man and nature. Visitors who love Sanmao will also come here to experience the indescribable beauty of the Canary Islands.

That was one of my favourite trips ever. Quick flight from Barcelona to Tenerife. If you want to go there you must take rent a car and trip across the island. #tenerife

Came there in the afternoon, paid 3 € for the parking on top, you have to walk about 5 minutes to get to the beach. There is a small bar/restaurant at the bottom, I liked the fact that you can pay there with a card. The waves were so big and scary (but also beautiful) in the afternoon, we couldn't go into the ocean. Beware! You will have sand EVERYWHERE Beautiful beach surrouned by cliffs, with nice, shiny black sand. Quiet and not crowded place with scenic path that leads to it. There are little bar, toilets and lifeguards on the beach, so one can spend all day there. We'll definitely go back there! #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Do give this place a try. It is on the road up from San Eugenio. It is well marked but you do have to be careful coming back out onto the highway. There is lots of parking available and the most fantastic bird’s eye view across to La Roca Roja and the beaches beyond the golf courses. You can look down over the other hills and valleys and villages. You can walk around the viewing area in a loop and there is a fabulous view wherever you look. Do go into the restaurant. It has huge glass windows with again the most incredible views. We liked the planes landing and taking off from the airport. The restaurant serves food and drinks and has lovely cakes. The staff were very welcoming and smiley. So glad we went in. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Nice beach but a bit overcrowded at the height of peak season. Depending on what you're into, if you want seclusion, peace and quiet, my time, etc, then this isn't the place for you. Now if you like sharing your beach with a thousand or so other souls, shoulder to shoulder, with facilities right on your doorstep, beach hawkers, bouncy balls, etc, then, this is the place to be. Preferably, I would go up to the bus station, which is very busy, so plenty of chances to escape, ask them in the info booth where to go, then go there, and have some space and peace with my flask and a sandwich. #themepark#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Very nice beach with nice sand and nice view. You can lie down anywhere, there is no private part or you can rent a bad with sunshade. The facilities are closed due to the virus but there is a Corner Shopping mall where you can find toilet, it is just 100m far. There are very nice restaurant too. But you shouldn’t leave you things on the beach unguarded as like you do anywhere else too. Our 3 year old boy likes this place very much #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches
