And yet for many people who visit from abroad, the island is just a cheap package holiday deal where booze, sunburn and all-inclusive buffets are their best holiday memories.
They’re missing out on so much!
I've taken a trip down memory lane and put together ten unforgettable experiences from my own upbringing in Tenerife which everyone can enjoy.
