Tenerife Tourist Guide

Ryanair flights to Tenerife Sur

Ryanair is opening late 2007 the following new flight routes:

Dublin - Tenerife South (From 19 October)
East Midlands - Tenerife South (From 30 October)
Liverpool - Tenerife South (From 30 October)
Shannon - Tenerife South (From 10 November)

Prices are starting by less than 99 GBP (150 Euro) including taxes and baggage fees. All these flights to Tenerife from UK or Ireland take about four hours to reach Tenerife.

Ryanair started to fly late 2006 to the Island of Tenerife through his flight Dublin - Tenerife North. We used this route last year, with a really cheap price (50 Euro return ticket, including taxes).

Britain’s rainy summer boosts winter sun tourism

Budget airline Jet2.com reported a significant increase of tourists to the Canary Islands, as the miserable weather in United Kingdom encouraged more and more Britons to book summer and winter sun holidays.

“The summer has been abysmal in the UK and we have already seen a surge in bookings for package holidays to the sun for the remainder of the summer” said Jet2holidays.com’s general manager, Mandy Round.

“Early bookings figures indicate that there will be a knock-on effect for winter as families who have holidayed in the UK look for cheap winter deals to the sun.”

Among the airline’s deals are week-long breaks to Tenerife from 120 Euro (£79) per person for travel in November. This is based on four people sharing a single bedroom self-catering apartment at the Sand Club Apartments in Golf del Sur, flying from Belfast, Blackpool, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle.

Jet2.com mentions that Tadcaster, Yorkshire averages only 1.6 hours of sun per day and 8 °C (47 °F) in November, while Tenerife has 7 hours and 24 °C (75 °F) (see Tenerife yearly weather)

Electricity

The standard current in Spain is 220V with the two-round pin type (see photo). This type is the most common in Europe, as it is used in all countries except the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta.
You can use electrical devices from the UK or Ireland with a plug adapter. If you are using US (110V) equipment you will also need a current transformer to avoid meltdowns.
