Surf & Wind Surf A very famous beach at the East of Tenerife that is ideal for practicing this sport is El Medano, an open, very flat beach. Although windy, it is not too choppy, making it an excellent all year windsurfing competition site. El Medano has already hosted the world championships. Facilities include, Wind surfing club, hire and instruction.
Climbing in Tenerife The central feature of the island is the volcanic cone of El Tiede, which rises to over 12,000ft and is the highest peak in all of Spain. In winter it is often snow covered and can present a respectable challenge, though a cable car runs up to over 11,000ft when the summit is free of ice. There is a high altitude refuge close to the normal route up and down the mountain, and a visit to the top is a memorable experience with stunning views in excess of a hundred miles and sulphurous vents belching out scalding steam.
Sea Trips From Tenerife One can go on excursions by sea, either in boats visiting other islands on organized cruises or by renting sailing crafts. The southwest of Tenerife is ideal, as its coast overlooks a quiet strait 27 kilometres wide separating the island from La Gomera. This stretch of sea not only provides easy sailing but also gives beatiful views of the mountains of both islands.
