Teneriffa Reiseführer Michael Müller Verlag

The largest Canary Island is a destination full of contrasts: on one hand, there is the beach island with sheltered, fine sandy coves, pleasantly warm water temperatures year-round, and vibrant tourist centers with well-developed infrastructure. On the other hand, there is the hiker's paradise with rugged mountain ranges, deep gorges, and countless valleys that stretch from the mountains around the island down to the sea. Additionally, travelers will find plenty of quiet corners and small towns where they can still enjoy hearty local cuisine in unassuming eateries. Irene Börjes, who has been a tour guide in the Canaries for years, covers every facet of this multifaceted holiday island in her book.
