Rough Guides Directions Tenerife & La Gomera

Rough Guides, 2004. — 207 p.Despite glorious weather and a variety of landscapes that attract four million tourists every year,Tenerife has an image problem.Thanks to package tourism, the entire island is assumed to be a playground for rowdy holiday-makers, content to spend lazy days on the beach and drink-fuelled nights in the bars and if this is what you’re after, you won’t be disappointed. But get off the beaten track and you’ll discover spectacular volcanic scenery, elegant resorts and peaceful Spanish towns. And with the island measuring just 86km long and 56km wide, everywhere is a possible day-trip.
