New Ryanair route to Tenerife

Ryanair is adding yet another scheduled flight to the Canary Islands. From the 19th of April you will be able to book flights from Derry in Ireland to Tenerife’s Southern airport. In total there will now be sixteen Ryanair routes to the Canaries every week. This is very welcome news to both visitors and local business people alike.

An incredible amount of passengers in the region of 230,000 arrived in the Las Palmas port of Tenerife between January and March 2010.

This places Tenerife’s cruise ship visitor totals in first place for the whole of Spain. The second place was still held by another Canary Islands, that of Gran Canaria with almost 200,000 visitors. In third place was Barcelona with around 160,000, fourth position saw the Balerarics with 59,000 and fifth Valencia with 23,000.

This evidence bolsters the confidence of Tenerife residents and businesses. As most businesses are connected to tourism in some way or the other then this shows the resilience of the Tenerife and Canary Island economy. Many pundits feel that once the worst of the recession is over that the Canaries will emerge early and strong as a great holiday destination.

The Tenerife property market always closely reflects the tourist market. There is no reason why this will not be the case again.

As well as the existing marina berths the new marina will provide 650 berths for yachts which will be sheltered behind a huge curved breakwater.

Corralejo harbour on the north coast of Fuerteventura is one of the busiest in the Canaries with close to a million passengers a year using the short ferry link to Lanzarote and the project will ensure that increasing passenger demand can be met. The harbour Playa Blanca in Lanzarote will also be extended and improved to allow easier access for the ferries whose entrance at the moment can only be described as tight.

Los Cristianos is situated 15 kms west of the southern airport (Reina Sofía).This is without a doubt one of the most popular resorts on the Canary Islands. The artificial beaches are very nice and it has a wonderful harbour that offers fishing trips, pleasure cruises, glass bottom boats, diving excursions and ferries to La Gomera.

Tenerife features the lowest temperature difference between summer and winter for anywhere in the world. Our weather occasionally includes rain, but there is no specific rainy season. Air conditioning is quite rare, with overhead fans usually providing sufficient air movement to stay cool, even at the height of summer. The minimum and maximum annual average air temperatures in Tenerife are about 15C in winter and 24C in summer. Therefore we enjoy wonderful weather in one of the worlds best and most delightful climates. The Island offers a surprising variety of micro-climatic weather zones, enabling people to almost choose their climate, depending on where they live. The Trade winds, together with the refreshing Gulf air currents, are the major weather factors that contribute to Tenerifes climate. The great altitude of Mount Teide gets up to three months of snow – yet it is still possible to enjoy a swim on the beach within an hours ride. The coastal areas enjoy the most sunshine, the best weather, the least clouds and highest temperatures.

Playa de las Americas is more brash than it’s smaller and more peaceful neighbour Los Cristianos.

Playa de Las Americas Beach is a tourist Mecca built at the end of the 1960’s. It is adjacent to Los Christianos and the Adeje Coast locally know as Costa Adeje. Virtually free from the Canarian culture, it is a place where many people from northern Europe frequent throughout the year (higher in winter) due to its favorable geographic location and what some call eternal spring time. Recognized as a budget destination for some and up market for others, the now slang named Las Americas has been the primary destination for millions of European tourists for over 2 generations. Youngsters who came as adolescents who are now mothers and fathers have their sons and daughters visit Las Americas to repeat their youth and due to the safe and secure nature inspired by local authorities and local councils. Massive development has allowed Las Americas to constantly reinvent itself over the years from the heady booze and fun vacations of the 80´s to today’s pedestrian quarters lined with first rate hotels and restaurants. A mix and match setup that appears to appeal to all segments holidaymakers and vacationers alike.
