Tenerife is the largest and, with almost a million inhabitants, also the most populated island of the Canaries. More than half
of the locals live in or around the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The Guanches wereTenerife's original inhabitants. Their
ancestors arrived from North Africa about 3000 years ago and settled at places like the Cave of the Guanches.
After a series
of bloody battles Castilian invaders finally defeated the locals in 1496 and took hold of the island.
Nowadays
Tenerife is visited by millions of tourists that are attracted by the nice weather and flock to the many beaches.
To see more
of the island just follow Route TF-1 that brings you to interesting places like Candelaria with the famous Basilica and
Guanche statues.
The capital Santa Cruz is a busy place with many historical buildings.
The rugged North coast features several
very scenic spots and lookouts, especially around Garachico, once the island's richest towns before it was destroyed
in 1706 by rivers of lava.
