Tenerife Is the largest island of the eight Canary Islands (Spain).

Tenerife is known internationally for its warm and pleasant climate, as the “Island of Eternal Spring”. The island, which lies at the same latitude as central Florida, enjoys a warm tropical climate with an average of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) in the winter and 24–28 °C (75–82 °F) in the summer.

Tenerife is a rugged and volcanic island sculpted by successive eruptions throughout its history. The island is located between 28° and 29° N and the 16° and 17° W meridian. It is situated north of the Tropic of Cancer, occupying a central position between the other Canary Islands of Gran Canaria, La Gomera and La Palma.
