"Established in 1788, this magnificent botanical garden has thousands of plant varieties from all over the world and is a delightful place in which to while away an afternoon smelling the roses. As well as the major collections of tropical and subtropical plants, there is a wide variety of palms from all over the world, a fragrant herb garden and a giant 200-year old Australian gum tree."

"Conscientiously established on a former landfill area, this excellent 12-hectare botanical garden has the most diverse collection of palm trees in Europe, with specimens imported from all over the world."

"Superbly located across from the leafy Plaza Príncipe de Asturias, this hotel has a formulaic-looking dusky-pink exterior that conceals 70-plus large and pleasant rooms, washed in pale cream with light-wood..."

"This museum explains the military history of the islands and the successful defence of the city, brought alive by a superb 30m scale model of the flagship Theseus. The most famous item here, however, is El tigre..."

"This golden sand and crystal-clear waters beach, where vessels can be spotted in the distance, is in a peaceful natural cove, shielded from the winds by the fishing port. It still preserves a quiet fishing village’s essence, just like the atmosphere the first tourists discovered when they visited back in the 60’s. From here fishing and leisure boats set sail daily and from Los Cristianos ferry terminal, boats depart to the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro."

"Small beach made of volcanic stones at the island’s south specially quiet where you can be in full contact with nature. Its sand is made of its own crushed callaos, a fact that gives and peculiar aspect to the beach with its black sand. The biggest part of the year it counts with calmed waves, although in some seasons surfers get there because of its high quality waves due the volcanic rock background."

"Beach that counts with a volcanic origin located also in a centric location in Costa Adeje that offers a variate amount of services such as “Del Duque Beach”. On the other hand it adjoins to a maritime avenue where you can find different restaurants, bars and recognized stores. In fact, this is – along with “Troya” beaches – one of the beaches in the island with more touristic history, where you can just take a break from stress or have some adrenaline experiencing some aquatic activities."

"Next up is Playa del Bobo, which might suit visitors that enjoy a little more peace and quiet. This beach tends not to attract so many families as others and – since it doesn't have any water sports facilities – barely any adrenaline junkies. Consequently, it's especially safe for kids that want to paddle or swim in the sea, unfettered by jet skis and the like."
