Historic snowfalls in Tenerife:  The peaks of Tenerife suffered their heaviest and most prolonged snowfalls in recent memory at the week-end, although very few people managed to enjoy the white spectacle due to draconian traffic restrictions.

Tenerife – 22.02.2016 – Pictures and videos of the thick blanket of snow that covered the entire Teide National Park made the national headlines, as did the news that the Civil Guard’s Mountain Rescue Unit were forced to take to skis for the first time to negotiate summit roads and trails in search of people thought to have been stranded. The arrival of the snow at the height of the cold snap that hit the island at the end of last week prompted the authorities to close the roads leading up to Mt Teide due to the hazardous conditions and sub-zero temperatures. Dozens of day-trippers who ignored the closures and made their way to the Park, in some cases driving along forest trails, were ordered out of the area by officers and repeated calls were made urging people to stay away to avoid mishaps.

Many people travel to Tenerife to enjoy the spring-like climate, the beaches and exuberant
vegetation. In addition to this, many others come to take part in open air activities. The star activity is hiking, with more
than 1,500 kilometres of different footpaths which include: routes along the coast, through forests or around volcanoes.

The island will be the European capital of hiking from 10 to 14 March 2015 when it hosts the Tenerife Walking Festival. The event is open to hikers from all over the continent. Apart from the spectacular routes organised specifically for the festival, participants will be able to enjoy one of the most beautiful places on the island: Puerto de la Cruz.

From the volcanic caldera of Mount Teide to the craggy tors of Dartmoor, Europe’s national parks combine stunning scenery with wonderful flora and fauna. Ruth Styles rounds up ten of the best,

including: Teide National Park, Tenerife: A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2007 …

Where to stay: Hotel Tigaiga in Puerto de la Cruz is a 14-time winner of the TUI Environmental Champion Award and surrounded by lush tropical gardens. www.tigaiga.com

Get there: If you aren’t prepared to fly, factor in at least three days of travel if you plan to go overland from the UK to Tenerife. Take the Eurostar to Paris where you can catch a sleeper train to Madrid. From Madrid, the train will take you to Cadiz where regular ferries ply the waters between Spain and the Canary Islands. One big advantage of taking the ferry is the huge variety of marine life in the waters off Spain’s south coast. Short-finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins can both be seen from the deck once you reach the waters off Tenerife.
