Tenerife

Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, beckons with its dramatic volcanic landscapes, sun-drenched beaches, and vibrant local culture. From the snow-capped peak of Mount Teide—the highest point in Spain—to the black-sand shores of Playa Jardín, exploring Tenerife by car lets you chart your own path through its diverse regions and hidden treasures.

Begin your journey by ascending the TF-21 road to Teide National Park, where lunar landscapes and volcanic craters unfold. Parking at the Roques de García viewpoint rewards with majestic views of El Teide’s conical silhouette. For a closer look, take the cable car to 3,555 meters, or continue driving through the park’s high-altitude roads.

Descend toward the north coast to the historic town of Garachico, its natural volcanic pools offering a unique seaside swim. Drive along the TF-5 to Puerto de la Cruz, where lush Botanical Gardens contrast with the black sands of Playa Jardín. Nearby, the Orotava Valley’s terraced farms and colonial architecture invite leisurely explorations.

On the southern coast, the golden beaches of Costa Adeje await, alongside luxurious resorts and waterparks. From Los Cristianos, catch a ferry to La Gomera for a day trip, or use your rental car to explore hidden beaches like Playa de las Teresitas near Santa Cruz.

Tenerife’s mountain and coastal roads are dotted with charming villages—visit Masca, perched on a cliff, or drive to Candelaria to see the Basilica of the Black Madonna. Moonlit drives along the TF-82 reveal starlit views above the clouds. When returning your car, choose between city offices or airport drop-offs for maximum convenience.
