The Magic of Tenerife - issue #31 This is your genial webmaster John with the latest Tenerife Information Centre Newsletter!
The period of October to December is arguably one of the best times of year to visit Tenerife. It's still sunbathing weather by day, but nowhere near as oppressive as mid-summer. For those of you intending to visit during this period, don't forget to pack a jumper or a light jacket, as evenings can become a little cool. And, don't forget, before the next newsletter, in three months' time, Christmas will have been and gone. This, plus New Year, is a very popular time for holidaymakers to visit - with good reason!
The 19th of October sees the Tenerife Bluetrail long-distance mountain race. Now in its third year, this test of endurance begins in the south of the island, passing through the magnificent scenery en route to its finishing point in the far north. There are four different routes in an attempt to include runners of all abilities. It's 30 euros to enter. November the 29th is the date of one of Tenerife's most popular festivals - La Fiesta de San Andres. It's popular because it involves the "riding the boards" in Icod de Los Vinos and "dragging the pots and pans" in Puerto de La Cruz. Not to mention the opportunity for lots of wine tasting! More details of this festival can be found on my site here. Of course, December includes Christmas - a brilliant time to be in Tenerife. But, why not try and get to the famous Christmas Day Concert, given by the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra? On the evening of December the 25th, this world-class musical ensemble will be performing popular classical pieces under the stars in Santa Cruz harbour.
Please, stay safe.
