Tenerife
Two climates on one island: the dry south and the humid green north, split by a volcano. The difference in winter damp is like two different countries.

Articles that include this coast
- Tenerife or Gran Canaria: Tenerife grew dearer, Gran Canaria stayed fullerThe two big islands on government series: hotel prices and occupancy month by month, weather normals at the southern airports, the sea, bathing water, the census by nationality, appraised value per square metre on one basis, rent, winter flights and the drive to hospital.
- Tenerife or Fuerteventura: nearly half dearer in winter, a few per cent in summerTwo islands on government series: two years of hotel prices, weather normals, the sea, the census by nationality, appraised value per square metre, rent, winter flights and the drive to hospital. Tenerife costs more in every month, but in winter the gap is nearly half the price and in summer it almost disappears.
- Tenerife or Lanzarote: weather month by month, the price of a hotel night, neighbours, hospitals and flights homeOur seven places on the two islands from government series: which is warmer by day and by night each month, why a hotel night costs more on Tenerife in winter and on Lanzarote in summer, who the neighbours are, how far the hospital is and where January flights go.
- Best time to visit Tenerife: weather, sea and the price of a hotel night, month by monthTwelve months on Tenerife from the weather service's normals, sea temperature and Spain's hotel statistics: when a hotel night costs most, when hotels empty, how the south, the capital and the north differ, and where a warm sea meets a cheaper night.
- Which Canary Island: warmth, sun, sea, crowds and rent compared on official dataThe warmest winter day, the warmest night, the most sun, the fewest guests per resident and the lowest rent: each question has its own island and its own measurement.
- Tenerife beaches by water quality: where the grade has never dropped, and where it slips nowGrades from the European register for every tested beach on the island since 1990: the one poor grade, the points below excellent last season, the natural pools, and the sea near our three places month by month.
Median rather than mean: a single expensive spot skews the average for the whole coast. Airports: TFN, TFS.
