snapper.Specialities include conejo al salmorejo (slow cooked rabbit with
garlic, paprika and chili); rancho canario (a chickpea meaty soup), ropa

In Tenerife the weather is superb year-round. The sun shines here for more
days of the year than most other places in the world. The weather does depend
on the time of year and also the parts of the island that you visit. The
south is always the warmest and sunniest with the least cloud, the west also
enjoys its fair share of great weather too. The north is also very warm,
although there can be more rain and cloud her compared with the rest of the
island. Also, the closer you climb towards the Mount Teide National Park,
Tenerife’s volcanic region and location of Spain’s highest peak El Teide,
the more changeable the weather becomes. The weather cools as the altitude
rises and at certain times of the year there is some snowfall here while the
coast remains sunny.
