While central Europe battles cold, grey winter weather, Tenerife basks in year-round sunshine. The largest of the Canary Islands is often called the Island of Eternal Spring—and for good reason. With mild temperatures averaging 22°C (72°F) in December, Tenerife is the perfect destination for a winter getaway filled with sun, nature, and adventure.

Mount Teide – Spain’s Highest Peak Above the Clouds
One of Tenerife’s top attractions is the Teide National Park, home to Mount Teide (3,715 meters / 12,188 feet)—Spain’s highest mountain. In winter, its snow-capped peak contrasts beautifully with the warm, sunny beaches below, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle.
