The Smart Travel Guide

The Canary Islands and Hawaii are very much alike, both areas are strings of underwater volcanoes. The Canary Islands are part of Spain and they are scattered over 300 miles of the Atlantic Ocean. Tenerife is the largest Canary Island. It is about 790 square miles wide, and the landscape is dominated by the 12,198-foot Mount Teide, the highest peak on Spanish territory. The place is also called the “Island of Eternal Spring” by the locals, because Tenerife is covered by fields of s bananas, oranges, and tomatoes. The Silver Whisper spent the day at Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the ship offered three shore excursions. However, Canary Islands and Tenerife, implicitly, have now a second meaning.

Tenerife was the place where, in 2009, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit was shot. Sports Illustrated is an American sporting magazine owned by Time Warner. It was the first magazine with circulation over one million to win the National Magazine Award for General Excellence twice. The swimsuit edition, published since 1964 is a very popular TV and calendars topic nowadays. The first location wereOrotava Valley and Puerto de la Cruz. The first stretches from the foot of Mount Teide to the Atlantic. The tour includes walking through beautiful gardens and views of the lush valley. Before returning to the ship, participants have about an hour to explore the shops and cafes in Puerto de la Cruz. The second tour was Cañadas del Teide National Park, which was spent mostly on a bus, together with Mount Teide, which was a little scary, but worth seeing.
