A firm favourite with sun-seekers, family forayers and (perhaps unexpectedly) whale watchers, Tenerife puts on a display that appeals to pretty much everyone. The south is where the smart resorts with their designer shops and upscale bars lie, while further north, vista-enthusiasts revel in the scaling heights of Mount Teide and the quaint cobblestoned town of Garachico.
