The Cabildo (Tenerife's Government) has lifted their ban on BBQ's in certain areas of Tenerife.

The ban was in place due to the exceptionally hot weather and the the possibility of forest fires.

We do however still urge you to be cautious if you're planning an outside barbecue or celebration in Tenerife.

Just a short post today to note that Tenerife has been reaching high temperatures of up to 42º!  Thankfully there has been no cases of heatstroke bar the odd 1 or 2 that have been swiftly dealt with, but it's worth noting that the electricity companies have noticed large spikes in the usages as Hotels and homes all switch on air conditioning, fans and anything else they can find to help alleviate the heat!

Last Thursday, July 23rd, Playa de La Arena beach hosted an understated ceremony as they were awarded theier 22nd Blue Flag in a row.

These awards are given to beaches by the European Union for upholding stringent standards covering the enviroment, lifeguard and first aid services, and the quality of the beaches themselves.

This 22nd award makes Playa de La Arena beach the most decorated beach in all of Tenerife, quite a feat!

The Met Office has issued warnings for Tenerife, stating that temperatures are expected to hit 35º+ today and continuing over the weekend.

This is extremely hot, even for Tenerife, and visitors are advised to take necessary precautions, with hats, sunglasses, and sun cream.
