Why do you need to rent a car in Tenerife?
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, with an area of 2,034 km2 and a population of 933,402 inhabitants. Tenerife has a population density of 441.75 inhabitants / km2 and a height of 3,718 meters from sea level. Although Tenerife has a first world network of buses and public transport, there is nothing like having the freedom of being able to move around on your own with your own rental vehicle.
Our Car Rental in Tenerife will give you the freedom to move around the island as you please, avoiding public and tourist buses. You will be able to move around the best corners of the island of Tenerife and especially its magnificent beaches such as El Médano, Bahía de El Duque, La Caleta, Los Cristianos, Las Américas, El Conquistador, Taganana, Benijos and even the most famous beaches in the north such as El Socorro, El Bollullo, Los Patos, El Ancón or the Playa Jardín of Puerto de la Cruz.
About Tenerife, the Continent Island
If you rent a car in Tenerife you can explore all its corners with freedom. Tenerife has two World Heritage Sites: El Teide Natural Park and the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna. But the island itself should be totally protected because you will discover that it is a mystical and complete island that enjoys 8 different microclimates. You will discover that you can go from the top of the snowy El Teide to the nearest beach in just 40 minutes, something that few islands in the world can offer.
The capital of Tenerife is Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with a population of 204,856 inhabitants. The capital was built in the old port of the historic city of La Laguna, which is currently located next to the capital, adjacent to it, as if it were the same city, with a population of 155,549 inhabitants, so you can check that only 1/3 of the total population is between the capital of the island and La Laguna, leaving 2/3 of the population distributed throughout the rest of the island, both north and south.
What to see in the North of Tenerife?
As you may know, the north of Tenerife is the greenest part of the island. The reality is that the north of Tenerife is nothing like the south. In the north of Tenerife you can enjoy a humid climate, with a winter of sunny days and cold nights for a subtropical island. Although the thermal sensation is cold, the temperature in the north of Tenerife in winter does not usually drop below 15 degrees.
In the north of Tenerife you will discover wonderful towns, cities and corners with incredible views of Teide or the sea such as Puerto de la Cruz, El Sauzal, Tacoronte, Santa Úrsula, La Laguna, Los Realejos and above all what is called here Isla Baja, where the highway does not reach, where you can enjoy wonders such as Garachico, Buena Vista and Punta de Teno, the bridge between north and south where you can even contemplate the different tides from the south and north. Apart from this, of course, you can see El Teide and the Las Cañadas area, a natural monument without rival.
What to see in the South of Tenerife?
The South of Tenerife was designed for the enjoyment of tourists. It is an area of desert and badlands on which hotels have been built for all tastes and budgets. Enjoy the beaches of La Caleta, El Duque, Las Américas, Los Cristianos, El Médano and even visit the towns of Vilaflor, Granadilla de Abona, Adeje Alto and Guía de Isora to enjoy the island as it should be, seeing everything that can offer, because it has something for all tastes and palates, and speaking of palates, let’s move on to the gastronomy of Tenerife.
Gastronomy in Tenerife
Some will be surprised to discover that Tenerife has 6 Michelin stars. Two of them are in the M.B (Martín Berasategui of the Ritz Carlton Abama) and the others are distributed in the following restaurants: NUB (La Laguna), El Rincón de Juan Carlos (Los Gigantes), Abama Kabuki (Ritz Carlton Abama) and Kazan from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a mixture of Japanese and Canarian-Galician cuisine. However, for other types of pockets, not necessarily less demanding, Tenerife has a whole network of local restaurants called Guachinches.
The original Guachinches are only open during the wine harvest season. They are very familiar places where you can eat typical Canarian dishes such as ropa vieja, escaldón, fiesta meat, chickpeas, grilled cheese with green or red mojo, etc. Most of the Guachinches are found in the north of Tenerife, especially between Santa Úrsula and Tacoronte and you can see a whole list of them with ratings on mobile applications like GuachApp.
