North, South or Coast of Tenerife?

On the island of eternal spring, as Tenerife is known, the temperature is very pleasant throughout the year, which is around 20 ° C, which translates into a balanced climate (little cold in winter and little heat in summer), little rain and always clear skies. 

Most of the properties are located along the island or near the coast, however, we recommend that you make a detailed search and choose the one that best suits your needs. 

Tenerife is divided into north and south, both with very different characteristics and realities, in the residential area.

To the south is the area with the largest number of tourists, who, coming from different parts of the world, have invested in homes that they have little use for during the year. 

To the north is Santa Cruz, the most populated city on the island. Innovative and cosmopolitan, its houses are dream homes, planned and built on easily accessible spaces. 

If you are thinking of investing in a second home or vacation place, this is a very good option.
