Tenerife Undercover: Lesser Known Gems Off the Beaten Track
Make Tenerife transfers from the airport the only thing you share with hoards of tourists this summer by discovering the quieter side of the island.
(firmenpresse) - If bustling off the airplane and sharing one of the busy Tenerife transfers from the airport is about as much contact as you can handle with the package holiday, beer-and-chips British tourists who flock to the island every year, then my advice is: head north. While more than five million tourists visit Tenerife each year, around three quarters of these take their Tenerife transfers straight to the busy resorts in the south, leaving the beautiful north a wonderfully unspoilt place to visit.
A trip to any of the quieter towns in the north will feel like stepping into a slower, island way of life which is far more authentic to the Canary Island culture than the loud bars and 24-hour lifestyle in the south. Here are just a few towns worth spending time exploring: there are plenty more.
San Crist
The capital of Tenerife until 1723, San Criste of modern Canarian life.
Icod de los Vinos
Savour the taste of traditional Tenerife cuisine and history in the town of Icod de los Vinos. First established in the 16th century, the town has a plethora of historic sites from the ancient Dragon Tree to the Plaza de la Pila. But the real star here is the food. Plenty of dishes served in the restaurants here are unique on the island and reflect a very distinct Tenerife cuisine.
Garachico
Formerly the island
El Puertito
Not on the north coast, but still worth a mention as it is usually bypassed by the tourist hoards, the sleepy little fishing village and harbour of El Puertito has managed to avoid the popularity and development of many of its neighbouring resorts. Instead the little beach attracts a small number of visitors who enjoy the excellent swimming and snorkelling here before relaxing in the harbour-side bar.
Getting There
One of the benefits of the popularity of Tenerife is the large number of budget airlines flying to the two airports here from the UK. Flights take around four to six hours and Tenerife transfers are available from the airport. To avoid queues following busy flights, my advice would be to book your Tenerife transfers online before you leave home. (A shared group transfer is not only a good cheap option but a great place to quiz fellow travellers about any hidden gems they might have discovered on the island.)
