Tenerife
Whether you are looking to purchase as an investment or as a second home
to spend holidays or retirement at, the largest of the canary islands,
Tenerife, has a lot to offer. Situated just off the west coast of Africa,
Tenerife has probably the best climate in the world for those looking
for virtually guaranteed sunshine without excessive heat. Dubbed the
island of eternal spring the fantastic sub tropical climate guarantees
year round sunshine. The island is very accessible with approximately
a 4 hour flying time from the UK and a whole host of airlines competing
for your fare, prices are becoming ever lower.
"Low cost airline Ryanair is said to be among seven operators competing for one of two handling contracts up for grabs in north Tenerife's Los Rodeos airport. The news has been greeted with interest by the tourism sector as being a fair indication of Tenerife's figuring in the company's longer term plans." - Source, 'Tenerife News'
Tenerife's landscape is dominated by the ancient presence of the dormant volcano, El Teide, this truly is an island of contrasts, from the lush greenery of the north to the sun baked expanses of the south. With a fantastic blend of sandy beaches, spectacular scenery and exciting nightlife it is no wonder that tourism and hospitality are Tenerife's largest industries.
Tenerife has therefore become, apart from a holiday destination 'par excellence', the first choice for many who wish to spend winter under the sun, take early retirement or those who are looking for an investment opportunity.
