Guided Visit to Corpus Christi Festival in La Orotava
Bursting with colour and lively with locals, the Corpus Christi festival in La Orotava is one of Tenerife's most celebrated events. Age-old traditions and vibrant artistry bring this small town to life every year for this famous festival which transforms the town into an artist's canvas. Many streets and squares are decorated with pavement murals created with sand and flowers. Laura, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Designing and making the sand carpets take huge skill and patience, and every grain you see is collected and sprinkled into place by hand.' Known as one of the most spectacular events in Tenerife, this festival is a true feast for the senses. For this occasion, every year the intricate sand paintings are carefully ‘drawn' by the artists who spread the sand using their hands. The centrepiece is a huge sand carpet with a religious theme, laid out in painstaking detail according to ancient tradition, using a variety of coloured lava sand from the craters of the Cañadas. Smaller sand and flower carpets can be found in the surrounding streets.As you stroll through La Orotava to admire these impressive creations, your guide will share insights into the history and significance of Corpus Christi. Marvel at the skill of the artists and their splendid floral arrangements, and perhaps witness the devotion of the locals as they participate in religious processions. Immerse yourself in the culture and heritage of Tenerife as the streets come alive with colour and energy.

Tenerife - Sites & Bites: Icod de los Vinos and La Orotava’s bananas and wine
The pine forests and coastal cliffs of northern Tenerife give it a natural and rugged look, but it's the volcanic, fertile soil that provides the area with its star attractions. From vineyards and orchards to banana farms and ancient trees, you'll see and taste Tenerife's home-grown highlights on this half-day tour. First up is Icod de los Vinos, a 16th-century town with a great view of Mount Teide. But even Spain's highest peak can't steal the attention away from the Drago Milenario, a thousand-year-old dragon tree that takes pride of place in the town's botanical gardens. This incredible specimen stands at over 20 metres tall with a canopy that's spread to over 300 main branches. Your guide will explain more about why this native tree is a cultural symbol of the Canaries during your visit. While in Icod de los Vinos, you'll see lines of the town's other treasure growing up and down the hillsides – bananas. Find out all about the island's history of banana farming and taste the freshly harvested fruit, as well as a sweet banana liqueur. Next, you'll head east to La Orotava, one of the oldest wine regions in the Canaries and right on the edge of Teide National Park. As well as tasting some local wines and rum here, you'll see the traditional town centre with its cobbled streets, wooden balconies and buildings in every shade of yellow. You'll visit the Molino de Gofio, a 17th-century gofio mill that's now a museum. It showcases how toasted flour is produced and used in everything from breakfasts to soups and stews. Taste the nutty flavoured Canarian delicacy alongside some local herby, pepper mojo sauces.

Tenerife - Half-day Tajinaste hiking tour in Tenerife
Venture into the very heart of Tenerife and you'll find the tallest peak in Spain, Mount Teide. This sleeping giant of a volcano stands at 3,718 metres tall and is surrounded by thousands of acres of National Park that's just begging to be explored. Your guided hike along the park's Tajinaste Trail will find you walking among towering endemic plants, trekking through lava fields and appreciating the wild beauty of the island. Bencomo, a local guide, says “Teide National Park is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it's also recognised by the public as one of the 12 treasures of Spain. Its unique volcanic geology and natural flourishing fauna make it a symbol of biodiversity.” You'll join a small group for your half-day hike along a circular route that's been exclusively designed for TUI guests. Your knowledgeable local guide will share facts about the island's native species and its volcanic origins as you trek along charcoal-like stone paths and gravelly lava fields.The star attraction of this trip, besides the dramatic silhouette of Mount Teide rising in the background, is the plant that the trail is named after – Tajinaste rojo. Also known as the ‘Tower of Jewels', this hunk of a plant can grow up to three metres tall and bursts into bright-red blooms during late spring. Bencomo adds “it's not often that a flower makes a lasting impression, but the Tajinaste rojo definitely stays with you.”
