During February, over 21,400 tourists will be landing in Tenerife, courtesy of the cruise ships MSC Fantasy and Costa Serena.  They are expected to bring a welcome boost in tourism for Santa Cruz, Tenerife's capital, as well as the entire Island in general.

July was one of the hottest months ever recorded within Tenerife and the surrounding Canary Islands.

The MET office confirmed that the weather for this part of the world was 2 or 3 degrees higher than what would normally be expected for this time of the year.
