European Islands Ep - 03: Tenerife

It is home to Spain's highest mountain - Pico del Teide with an elevation of nearly 4OOO meters.

Tenerife includes an incredible ten defined climate zones!!!

There are substantial differences between the north and the south of the island.

The northern, windward side receives three fourths of all precipitation, which is why it is green year round.

The significant differences in elevation also contribute to the great contrasts, as do the mountain ranges extending through the middle of the island.

You can experience large differences in temperature on Tenerife, especially in the winter months- you can swim and sunbathe on the southern beaches, while it's freezing and snowing on the summit of Teide.
