Pegan only, in a speculation of origin... La Mueca festival is in the name of art. There are also other special days for amusement, where one is in honor of Saint Juan. It attracts big crowds for beach fun. Not to forget in the performing field is the magic drawer of the auditorio Tenerife in Santa Cruz.

Tenerife attractions of nature may be more than that, such as Tenerife's beaches. They can be awesome or just romantic like Playa Socorro. This one is even intriguing in twee light. Photo is by: U.Astrid Ruppender.Many tourists love nothing more than swim and 'suntan' during the day. Restaurants are reserved for the night, while discos are best explored after midnight. Those are the only attractions for them. Go see mount Teide and its Cañadas which are part of World heritage for best of reasons. However, only do your own Teide excursions, when you have all the time of the world. You might miss too much, otherwise.

by the invisible gateway to Tenerife Mount Teide Canadas! You will not regret.

Much praised is also Park Garcia Sanabria Santa Cruz; La Bananera near Puerto de la Cruz belongs to interesting parks where you learn all about banana farming with a guided tour. Afterwards, you are given a taste of Banana liquor which you can buy also all over town. By the way, Banana tree trunks whose fruit have been harvested are always chopped down. The infertile parts should then be dug up. Farming bananas is a lot of work which I know because, I had many in my garden in Durban and knew banana farmers, too. Tourists are mesmerized hearing what is involved with the show farm. Bananas called platanos in Spanish are cheaper in the north where they receive more moisture naturally. They need lots of water. I buy good local bananas for 80 Cents per kg, but I purchase from a little fruit shop in Puerto de la Cruz by Playa Jardin. You can purchase bananas at La Bananera packed for taking onto your plane. You can also order such packages at most Tenerife Hotels. Santa Cruz palm forest park museum is an attraction to see. Jardin El Botanico El Botanico Park in La Paz Puerto de la Cruz is a celebrated park.

Many of its town scenes were used for international cinema. You will love Puerto Cruz with its little features, such as a fountain by town square of church Nuestra Señora Peña de Francia. Why this town? You will like it for its contrasts, where you will not get bored because, El Puerto has more than modern beach fronts to offer. Don't miss Santa Cruz the capital with all its shopping and many entertainment attractions, either. The Tenerife capital's night life has always been of importance and, not just for sailors in the olden days. So did its port with ocean liners, which lure tourists like magnets. La Orotava, which I discovered first time in connection with an inspection of a townhouse in la Orotava is a photo shot drawer Tenerife North on its own.

Spanish people attraction:

Of course, then you also detect many tourists from Spain of the 30 something age. Of course, the biggest attractions are Spanish people during the Tenerife Carnival holidays. They may be in fabulous feathered Carnival costumes as well as without. They give occasion to excellent photo portrays to capture. That's when people of Spain and all its carnival provinces lose their inhibitions and are extremely extrovert and show their happiest faces. Contemplate these most amazing Spanish people like in this carnival photo. It is a photo of the day of the mens' marathon. I took it, while sitting on Plaza del Charco de los Camarones in Puerto de la Cruz. The man who is dressed like a transvestite is having some sort of argument with a perhaps 7 year old child. May be, the kid is his young sister. The adult's mannerism and movement gave motive for a good snap shot. Another man with good natured happily smiling expression looks on. These Spanish people could very well be locals from Tenerife. They are Spanish, nevertheless. The picture is so typical for the fun loving, warm Tinerfeños Spanish locals of the Canary Islands. Their nature makes them Tenerife attractions. Any doubt?
