  • We went in November and found shorts and tshirts we fine. Jeans, jumpers and coats are a must if you plan on going up Mount Teide!

    Suncream! You will burn without it, even in the 'winter' time. I got factor 20 and it worked fine so something along that line and you shouldn't burn.

    Take a camera everywhere you go as theres so many photo oportunaties :) Make sure you've got spare batteries.

    That was the primary thought which was running through my mind on the flight back from Tenerife to mainland Europe, as it became more and more apparent that my sunburn was a baaaad one. What a dope. I sat in the shade of the umbrella by the hotel pool for a few hours, but had neglected to use...SUNSCREEN!!! I was in misery for a few days because of this oversight. Don't you make the same idiot mistake. Bring your own SUNSCREEN. Bring it from home too, because it's three times as expensive in Europe, on the mainland as well as the island here. Use this sunscreen each and every time you are anywhere outdoors. If you think you might be needing Dramamine etc for the ferry ride over to La Gomera, bring your own. It is available here and it's not expensive at all, less then 4euros for a 12pill pack, but you can only get this and any other over-the-counter medicine at pharmacies. Tracking down a 24hr pharmacy at 10p is something you want to avoid, if you can help it.

    Naturally, make sure you have more than enough batteries and memory cards on hand. Save your euros to spend on the fun things, not the staples.

    Take a free map of Tenerife at the Tourist Information. The map gives you an overview of the principal streets and includes street maps of the main villages like Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz, and Playa de las Americas.

  • Take mainly shorts and t-shirts for the day. Night time anything goes but it is always good to dress up, smart casual is a good guide. Places like the casino may require you to dress smart. Take a jumper as well as some nights it can get a bit chilly and if you go up Mount Teide you will probably need one too.

    Plenty of sunblock and aftersun although it can be bought out there.

    There is so much to photograph in Tenerife so plenty of film or memory card space would be useful but don`t worry everything should be available at possibally cheaper prices.



    Condoms, Playa De Las Americas is a party resort and is a fact of life what goes on as there are so many young single people there.

    Lots of film, batteries, memory cards

    Plenty of shorts, t. shirts, swimwear ,flip flops, trainers if walking ,jeans, jumper for cooler evenings

    Can buy any of this over there

    TWO PIN ELECTRICAL PLUG

    TWO PIN ELECTRICAL PLUG
    by MaheshSamtani
    If you happen to carry any electrical stuff like hair dryers or just a simple charger for your mobile telephone - you will have to take into account that the electrical systems admit only the 2 pin round plug as shown in the picture. If you are coming in from Britain you might want to buy an adapter to be able to use your stuff in Spain. It may be a little difficult to get it in any normal electrical store. If you happen to have a El Corte Ingles department store near you - they sell adapters for different systems.
    The Spanish system is compatible with most European plug sockets – except mainly for the British 3 pin plug - so get that adapter.

    If you visit Tenerife during the Carnival don't forget to take any special carnival costume. The most crazy the best. Everyone wears something crazy.

    Of course it depends on what you want to do on your vacation in teneriffe. If you only want to lie on the beach you won't need much clothing as the weather is nearly always nice (specialy in the south). It's a bit different if you want to travel around then you will need a rainjacket, good shoes and a warm pullover.
