You're probably here because you're looking for a Portland Holiday in 2013 - well, Portland Holidays have become part of
Thomson Holidays now. In fact,
Portland Holidays has been owned by Thomson for several years, but since 2011 the Portland brand has been stopped, and all holidays
are now sold through Thomson. All's not lost though - it's still worth having a look at Thomson to see what they can offer you in the
way of a good deal.
Tenerife
Dramatic volcanic scenery and black sandy beaches vie for your attention on an island that is
drenched in year round sunshine. Tenerife may be closer to Africa than Spain but the atmosphere
is definitely Spanish - relaxed and unhurried by day, the pace hots up as the sun goes down.
Food & Wine in Tenerife
Spanish tapas and Canarian specialities dominate the menus though in the main resorts your
favourite fast food joint is never far away. If you're tempted by the local cuisine why not
give 'samu' a try? It's a local fish baked on a bed of salt and served with small jacket potatoes
and 'mojo', a spicy garlic sauce. Seafood plays a large part in many of the local dishes and is a
real treat since it is nearly always fresh. To finish off your meal why not try a gooey but tasty
liqueur made from bananas grown on the island.
Days & Nights in Tenerife
Playa de las Americas is known to have the liveliest nightlife on the island with an
array of bars and club open until the early hours. The other resorts offer a slightly more
relaxed atmosphere and a greater variety of restaurants, putting the onus on long meals and
lots of laughter.
Sights & Sounds in Tenerife
Sightseeing: Tenerife's turbulent volcanic past has created some beguiling landscapes. Mount
Teide, used as a backdrop in the film Planet of the Apes, is at the centre of this landscape
and is a stunning reminder of the power of nature. By contrast, to the north you can find lush
vegetation and banana plantations.
Sun & Sand in Tenerife
Tenerife offers a choice of beaches, from dramatic black to Saharan sand golden shores.
The warm, clear seas are perfect for watersports.
