Judging by the numbers of people who choose to holiday
in Tenerife year after year as well as the many who decide to move
to the island for all or part of the year, you can be sure that there
is
something special about the place.
Great Weather?
Well, yes. Long, sunny days and crisp blue skies are a way
of life. Here in the South of Tenerife, rain is so infrequent
as to be a welcome relief from sun,sun,sun. The hot dry climate has
a beneficial effect for many of the expat residents who report a marked
improvement in joint ailments like arthritis and rheumatism.
A Practical Paradise
There are a few standard reasons why those who dream of making a life
abroad hesitate. One is that they are relectant to be too far away
from family and friends in the UK. At a mere four hours flight time,
Tenerife is as near as you can get to a paradise on the doorstep.
Flights are so numerous that there are - except for the busiest seasons
- always deals to be had.
Another benefit to choosing to make your new life in
Tenerife is that it is exotic without being a too much of a culture
shock. While many expats choose to learn Spanish fluently, eat mostly
Spanish food, shop in Spanish markets and so on, many do not. Your
immersion in the local culture is very much up to your comfort level.
Choices
There are so many choices in Tenerife. With almost ever national cuisine
catered for and an endless array of restaurants and bars your
biggest dining challenge will be chooising where to go. Evening
entertainmentruns the gamut from full blown cabaret to comedy routines
and quiz nights. Day time activities include cultural tours, water
excursions, hiking, diving, windsurfing, horse-riding... the list
is endless.
Would you like to wake up to a clear blue sky and warm sunny morning?
Would you like to rely on dry, sunny weather almost all year round?
Would you like to stroll down to the local baker for croissants and freshly baked bread and meet your expat and local friends for breakfast?
How about topping up your tan after breakfast or a litle exercise in the on-site swimming pool?
After a five minute car ride to Las Galletas from the mobile home park you may decide upon a stroll along the promenade or investigate the fresh seafood stalls near the waterfront. Just 15 minutes will get you into Los Cristianos or Las Americas where there is a very wide range of things to do from shopping to dining and evening entertainment.
Many of those who made the decision to live in Tenerife either full-time or through the cold UK winter months did so after visiting the island on holiday. The beautiful weather, relaxed lifestyle and easy-going nature of the local residents make living in Tenerife a very attractive prospect indeed and a mobile home is a great, cheaper alternative to an apartment.
