Tenerife

So, after a long discussion we have decided to go to somewhere warm in October. We are thinking of somewhere like Tenerife, Turkey..... Ideally want an apartment / hotel room with a pool. Children are 13 and 15. They like water parks; my husband and I like culture! Can any one recommend an area of Tenerife or any where else that they would recommend? We've not done this sort of holiday before and I am totally lost - I don't know where to start looking. Can anyone help me? Many thanks, xxx

I lines in Tenerife, it’s an amazing place and such a pity that so few people head to the north of the island where is green and lush and there is a golden sandy beach there called las teresitas - that where all the Spanish head.

also you have the old capital of la Laguna where I lived and it’s basically a maze of 17-18th century streets very beautiful. Museums everywhere here and fabulous bars. If you like windsurfing you can head to el medrano but it’s always really windy.

Santa Cruz se Tenerife is the new capital and you can get there using the 103 from
playa americas or los cristianos

Teide is also amazing - you’ll need a hire car though and anoraks plus sunscreen as you end up way up above the clouds. We used to go there at winter.

It's been closed the last few days due to snow!!

I miss how people don't ever believe just how much snow you get 45 minutes drive from the coast!
