01
Old faithful
The grid design of
Tenerife’s original
capital city of La
Laguna was the
blueprint for many
Spanish colonial cities.
Today its perfectly
preserved old quarter
is on the UNESCO
World Heritage List
and it’s where you’ll find
tapas bars tucked into
leafy courtyards, trendy
shopping and a daily
farmer’s market.
02
Young pretender
Hot Tenerife nights just
got even warmer with
the opening of brand
new Papagayo Beach
Club (
facebook.com/
PapagayoBeachClub
Tenerife
)
on Playa
Troya in Playa de Las
Américas. With
über
-
chic décor, top DJs
pumping out house
‘
choons’ and celebs
like Michelle Rodríguez
(
The Fast and the
Furious
)
apt to drop by,
it’s
the
place to be seen.
03
Dish of the day
For a real taste of
Tenerife, opt for
papas
arrugadas con mojo
(
small, wrinkled, salty
Canarian potatoes
with sauces) with a
plate of
conejo con
salmorejo
(
rabbit in rich
sauce) and you’ve got
the classic Tenerife
speciality. The best
is from Los Faroles
(
Avenida Francisco
Afonso Carrillo, s/n,
Puerto de la Cruz; tel:
+34 922 384 616
)
behind
Playa Jardín beach.
04
Do now
Push the culinary
boat out with a visit to
Michelin Guide
-
listed
restaurant Los Roques
(
restaurantelosroques.
com
)
in the quaint
fishing village of Los
Abrigos. Fabulous food
and a table overlooking
the harbour are about
as far from Jack Frost
and Brussels sprouts
as you can get.
Reservations essential.

Tired of short days, long nights and wrapping up?
Cast off the woollies and escape to the largest of the
Canary Islands for a warmth and sunshine top-up
