TENERIFE



Canary's best island for cycling





THE HOME OF MT TEIDE



If you want to train or just ride where the Pros go, the answer is Tenerife, the current training spot of choice for the biggest names in the sport.


Perfect destination all year-round as it provides the best weather, perfect training routes, quiet roads and amazing sceneries.


Belonging to Europe, but closer to Africa, this island has a lot to offer, including the famous Volcano Mt Teide (3718m high).
Plenty of climbs are available in the island and the weather is perfect all year round.
Temperature in winter don't go below 15-20 degrees and in summer it's difficult that they get above 30 degrees. This makes Tenerife the perfect weather destination.



TENERIFE FACTS



LOCATION



Tenerife is the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, off West Africa. It's dominated by Mt. Teide, a dormant volcano that is Spain's tallest peak..
​Tenerife is divided into three areas – the Northern area, the Southern area and the Metropolitan area – which include a total of 31 municipalities. Two of the three most populated cities in the Canary Islands are in Tenerife: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital of the island; and San Cristóbal de La Laguna.



CLIMATE



In Tenerife, the climate is subtropical oceanic on the coast, that is, very mild and sunny most of the year, with little rainfall concentrated in the period from October to March. In inland areas, the climate varies with altitude and slope exposure: the slopes exposed to the northeast receive a moderate amount of rain and are green, while in the rest of the island the rainfall is scarce, usually below 250 millimeters (10 inches) per year on the coasts, and often even below 150 mm (6 in), which explains the aridity of the landscape on coasts and southern slopes..

CUISINE



Tenerife’s traditional food relies, above all else, on the sea. And not only because the dishes that feature on its restaurant menus and on the tables of its households are dominated by the fish and seafood found in the waters surrounding the Canary archipelago. The island’s cooking also looks towards the ocean in the sense that a great number of the ingredients it uses come from overseas. From the Iberian Peninsula, of course, but also from America. In fact, the links between Tenerife’s traditional food and Canarian cuisine in general with that of many South American countries are strikingly obvious.



TERRAIN



Triangular in shape, the island would fit into a rectangle about 90 km wide by 80 km high and has a road perimeter of about 223 miles (358 km). It is dominated by Mount Teide, the volcano that stands at 12,198 feet high (3,718m), being the highest mountain of the Spanish territories. Fantastic views of this huge peak can be seen from many resorts on the island and from other Canary Islands. The volcanic landscape is out of this world and has been chosen as the backdrop to scenes in famous movies. Volcanic cones are distributed randomly over the whole island's surface and contribute to the amazing landscape.
