A
beautiful Island
The island of Tenerife is the largest of
the Canary archipelago - 2,053 square kilometres
- and it has the shape characteristic of
a triangle. The island of eternal spring
because of its peerless climate is full
of huge contrasts and has a great variety
of scenery in the different regions.
A mountain chain runs through its centre
fro Anaga to Teno and on both of its slopes
there are large, exuberantly fertile valleys,
among them especially La Orotava and Gumar.
In the heart of the chain there is a gigantic,
natural crater, called Las Cañadas
del Teide, which is about 29 km across and
has officially been declared a National
Park. It lies over 2,000 m above sea level.
North of the crater stands El Pico del Teide,
a 3,718 m high mountain, which is the highest
point in Spain. It is snowcovered in the
winter and marks the island with its unique
silhouette.
