What to take

Once you have landed from your flight Tenerife weather will embrace you with warm sunshine and blue skies for most of the year. This means you never really need to take heavy clothing, just a light jumper and waterproof jacket for evenings and trips to the mountains. For hiking purposes, walking boots are a good idea and sun cream and a hat is essential all year round.

The black volcanic sand retains the heat so can be extremely hot, therefore it is recommended to take sandals for the beaches. For the evenings, smart/casual wear is acceptable especially if you are visiting the more upmarket hotels or more expensive restaurants.
