Tenerife
The island is dominated by the giant snow capped volcano Mount Teide, which at 3,700m high is Spain's highest peak. This will be the first sight you see when flying in, and it never ceases to take your breath away. The cooler northern part of the island is a lush tropical paradise with banana plantations and palm trees. In contrast the south is hot and dry with almost a desert like landscape. Flights to Tenerife from the UK take around 4 hours, landing at the Reina Sofia airport in the south of the island. From 2003 both Britannia Airways and GB Airways operate 2 flights a week into the magnificent new terminal at Los Rodeos airport in the north.
