TENERIFE.
Of all the reasons why Tenerife is such a popular holiday destination, it is possibly the prevailing Spring-like climate that tops the list. With an average annual temperature of 22 degrees, the local population and those who visit the island appreciate this true gift of nature. The mild climate has created particularly striking and original surroundings, and thanks to a manageable area (2,034 square kilometres) it is easily possible to discover the island during a stay of a few days. Tenerife is a collection of beautiful natural spaces, from cliffs several hundred metres high, to small villages lost in valleys, to colourful marine depths. Such beauty means half of the territory is protected by strict environmental regulations, which ensure its conservation.
Tenerife allows you to mentally distance yourself from the everyday work setting without having to travel long-distance. It is only a two hour plane journey from Mainland Spain and four main European cities. Two international airports equate to around 150 flight connections operated by close to a hundred different airline companies.
Tenerife North airport is 15 minutes from Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Tenerife South is one of the busiest aerodromes in Spain and is 10 minutes from the municipalities of Arona and Adeje, the two largest tourist centres in this part of Tenerife.
In addition Santa Cruz de Tenerife is one of the most important ports for cruise ships in both Spain and Europe. More than half a million cruise passengers pass through the port each year. Two modern motorways, an extensive road network, an integral bus service and a tramway between Santa Cruz and La Laguna – the two largest cities on the island -, complete the land communications hub, making it possible to travel around the island with ease.

LA LAGUNA.
The municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna lies in north-east Tenerife, in-between the Anaga mountain range and the slopes of La Esperanza. Most of the city stands at an altitude of roughly 600 m (1,970 ft), with the highest point being Cruz de Taborno, 1,020 m (3,350 ft) above sea level. The coastal part of the municipality in the north covers the farmland regions of Tejina and Valle de Guerra, as well as the tourist destinations of Bajamar and Punta del Hidalgo. By contrast, in Anaga you will find little hamlets such as El Batán and Las Carboneras. Covering a vast open area in the middle of the municipality is San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. La Laguna was the first unwalled colonial city and still preserves its original 15th century layout almost intact. In fact, this layout was used as a model for building many other colonial cities in America. Its streets, with their fantastic shopping atmosphere, gastronomy and leisure, are also full of monuments and historic buildings.
The Guanche name for the area on which La Laguna stands was Aguere, and that term is sometimes still used to refer to the municipality. It is also known as the City of the Adelantados, as this is where the Adelantado Alonso Fernández de Lugo and his family settled. After the conquest of Tenerife, La Laguna became the Island’s first capital city, turning it into the heart of political, financial and cultural power on the archipelago. The first plan of the city on record was drawn by the Italian engineer Leonardo Torriani in 1588. San Cristóbal de La Laguna currently bears the honorary titles of Noble, Loyal and Faithful city, and is also known as the Illustrious Historic City of San Cristóbal de La Laguna.
The University of La Laguna is one of the most emblematic institutions in the municipality and is, of course, a sign of the city’s cultural relevance. Tenerife’s first airport – Tenerife North – is also here, in the area known as Los Rodeos on the outskirts. The airport is well connected to the rest of the archipelago, and also links up to various destinations in Spain and abroad. Its location near to the capital and to the tourist area of Puerto de la Cruz is a great advantage.
The coast of San Cristóbal de La Laguna has a series of lovely natural swimming pools and rock pools in Punta del Hidalgo, with a modern lighthouse nearby. The nearby town of Bajamar also has large bathing areas, making it a popular place among the locals and tourists for a leisurely day by the sea.
