Weather
Tenerife boasts year-round sunshine, with winter temperatures averaging 20–22°C and summer highs in the upper 20s. The south is warmer and sunnier, while the north is greener and slightly cooler. Visit any time, but spring and autumn are ideal for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
Spoken Languages and Currency
The official language is Spanish, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, especially in the south. The local currency is the Euro (€), and cards are accepted almost everywhere.
