Golf Tenerife: the best playgrounds in Europe

January 15, 2018January 16, 2018 admin

The island of “eternal spring” has one extraordinary bonus which is the Tenerife temperature. Here you can find perfect conditions to play golf during the whole year.

If you are a golf fan, you have certainly heard of the high quality golf courses in Tenerife. Apart from the fact that there is a great variety of places, according to many professionals the local golf courses are also among the best and most interesting ones. Golf Tenerife playgrounds belong to the most popular in Europe. The top golf masters designed and tested the courses during several years.

Enjoy your game in the picturesque scenery of the Tenerife Coast, under the majestic Teide volcano of 3,718 meters high (the highest mountain of Spain). You can choose from numerous golf courses located all over Tenerife island. And if this was not enough, you can take a boat and sail to the nearby island of La Gomera. Just in less than one hour from the Costa Adeje coast you can find a new golf course called Tecina.

Golf Tenerife offers awesome playgrounds for your joy

La Rosaleda is a beautiful place surrounded by banana plantations with an excellent view of the highest mountain Pico del Teide and the Atlantic Ocean. The golf course exists since the 1998, and it was the first golf course built in Puerto de la Cruz. You should also bear in mind that it belongs to the most difficult ones in the Canary Islands.

Los Palos Golf Center was built in 1994. It lies in the southern part of the island, near the town of Arona, and just 5 minutes from Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa del Silencio. The idea of its design belongs to José María Olazábal in cooperation with Integral Golf Design. The course connects plenty of lakes and streams which create a beautiful landscape. The pitch suits particularly for beginners and for players looking for a short game or not having much time (local nine holes can be handled in an hour).

Real Golf Club of Tenerife was founded in 1932 by British traders. It is the oldest playground in Tenerife and one of the oldest in Spain. It still features the typical English design elements of A. Alberto, A. Lucena, J. Layene and A. Yanese. This course is located in the north of the island, at an altitude of 600 meters above the sea level, so you have to count on irregular terrain and more effort at play. Despite its age it has all the required characteristics like relatively short eighteen holes, typical fairways and smaller greens.

Golf Las Americas is a well-kept playground that exists since 1998. It is situated in the southern part of the island, right in the center of Playa de las Américas. Golf Las Américas offers optimal conditions in an attractive, less-wavy area. Thanks to its location, the course offers a great view of the entire resort and Atlantic Ocean. The creators even kept the remnants of the original inhabitants, the Guanches, which can be seen, for example, at the hole number 2. The author of this golf course is John Jacobs. The course has a lot of water ponds and ditches, with a nice sit in the original volcanic landscape.

Golf del Sur lies right in front of the Atlantic Ocean, just 15 km from Playa de las Américas. Its playgrounds are surrounded by palms and gigantic cactuses, and the greens are admired by players of all levels. The Golf del Sur course regularly hosts international tournaments such as European LGA and LPGA.

Amarilla Golf is another field located in a former banana plantation. Its architect Donald Steel used the jagged coast of the Atlantic to make the ocean a part of the original design of the pitch. The main wells at the bottom of the course are therefore a real treat. Amarilla Golf is a challenge for professional players, but also offering an attractive and enjoyable game to those whose skills are still on a lower level.

Buenavista Golf can be found in the westernmost part of the island, between the natural park of the Teno Mountains and the Atlantic ocean. The design is made by a Spanish architect Severian Ballesteros, and is characterised by the immediate proximity of green and steep coastal cliffs. The amazing use of local terrain produces a feeling of throwing the ball directly into the sea. And the great view of the cliff puts a special touch, which makes your experience unique and original.

Come and enjoy your Golf Tenerife holiday, discovering by yourself a great selection of golf courses of this beautiful island. And if you need a transport, you opt for a car hire in Tenerife with us, choosing from a wide range of models for any taste.

Teide: your trekking adventure in Tenerife

January 5, 2018January 16, 2018 admin

The original inhabitants of the Tenerife Island – Guanches – gave this mountain top a name of “Echeyde” or Hell. According to them, the inside of the volcano was an empire of the demon Guayot. Tenerife is a magical Canary island that features the highest mountain of Spain – Pico del Teide. Due to its height of 3718 m, and also the shape of a nearly perfect cone, it is considered one of the most beautiful volcanoes in the world. It started to form about 150.000 years ago by the Earth’s vast forces, when the volcanic explosion created a large caldera of about a 2000 m height and a 20 km diameter.

Although the Teide volcano’s activity is not so intense, it is better not to underestimate the power of this mountain. The most serious volcano eruption produced an extensive damage in 1709 when Garachico, the most important island’s seaport, was completely destroyed. The most recent volcano activity was registered in 1909, producing a 5 km long lava stream. Since that time Teide has remained hibernating, so if you are planning your Tenerife holidays, don’t loose this opportunity to explore its amazing original landscapes.

One of the best ways to explore this volcanic peak is to go with a local guide from Canaventura. If you want to experience a real adventure, we can highly recommend this travel agency. The Canaventura team has its own philosophy focused on the ecotourism, rural activities and local traditions. The team is made up of several professional guides who know well the terrain and culture, and are fluent in a wide range of foreign languages. So no wonder the tourists choosing their services come from all over the world. These professionals demonstrate their expertise in every aspect of the trip, passionately sharing with their audience the extensive knowledge of flora, fauna, agriculture and local traditions.

Walk on “the Moon”

After the Canaventura guides finish to pick up all the members of the crew from their hotels, we are ready to continue our fantastic trip to the UNESCO World Heritage – National Park Teide. Your guide will show you the most impressive volcanic forms, lava streams, and unique flora and fauna species. After the initial acclimatization to the reached altitude you will be able to go by the cable cab to “La Rambleta” peak situated at an altitude of 3,550 m. There you can enjoy a cup of coffee and a wonderful view of the panoramic Tenerife landscape. Your exploration of the “moon planet” will take about two hours, although it does not cover visiting the very top of the volcano. To do that you should prebook the cable cab in advance together with a special permission for a walking tour to the highest point of the mountain.

Teide’s peculiar and desolate volcanic landscape appealed to the famous American filmmaker S. Kubrick, which chose it for shooting some of the scenes for his famous movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” released in 1968. No wonder the idea of the moon walk suits Tenerife island perfectly. Be it in the evening or in the morning, the magic experience is guaranteed to its visitors as the shadow of the volcano Teide, projected by the light rays to the sea of clouds, reaches a length of 200 km creating so the longest shadow in the world.
