Tenerife, Canary Islands.
By Mark on October 6, 2008
This is my post about the largest of the Canary Islands in north-west of Morocco, Africa. It is a well known Island for holiday makers and it is a place that I have never even visited myself, so here we go.
The Canary Islands belong to the European country of Spain. It is a volcanic Island in Atlantic Ocean off the north-west coast of Africa. The population in 2006 was 852,945. To which the capital city of the Island Santa Cruz de Tenerife was 221,627. The Island is known for her volcanic peak of MT TEIDE
which is 3,718 metres (12,200 ft) in height. Tenerife has two airports one in the north and the other in the south they are Rodeos Airport (north), the smaller of the two, is located near the metropolitan area Santa Cruz-La Laguna. It serves inter-insular flights as well as national and European flights, and for the last two years, a weekly service to Venezuela. Reina Sofía Airport (south) is the busiest Airport in Tenerife, ranking 7th in Spain. It typically serves the mass of regular and charter flights constantly arriving from most of Europe.

With her history and tourism I feel you would learn more from wikipedia so with assistance of wikipedia at the bottom of the page is a link to the website, which will give you all he information you need to know about the Canary Islands, Tenerife and the capital city Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Thanks. It has alot of wonderful sites to see, with black and gold beaches, restaurants, pubs, wine bars and nightclubs. And plenty of tourist shops with stacks of tourist goodies. But the best site apart from the sea from the cliffs is Mount Tide. which is an amazing site. Also hotels, hostels, bed and breakfast places you will always find a reasonably well priced site. It is a very lively Island with a cracking nightlife and amazingly the temperatures never really change throughout the year so which ever time you go it will nearly always be nice.

I tried zooming in on that nudist beach in Google Earth (28° 1′ 47.04″ N 16° 33′ 5.72″ W), but you can’t get close enough to see any wobbly bits.
