Tenerife is full of surprises in 2026. It’s not just about the typical spots; the whole island is coming to life with events this year. Between the Tenerife Carnival, the Tenerife Music Festival, and a whole lot of local celebrations in between, there's always something going on.

Beyond the events, here are a few of the main sights you definitely shouldn't miss while you're here:

• Mount Teide National Park: We know you have heard of it and honestly, you can't leave the island without driving up to Spain’s highest peak. The landscapes are breathtaking and this year, the stargazing tours are better than ever.
• The Masca Valley: Also known as the "Macchu Picchu of the Canary Islands," this village is tucked away up in the mountains. The drive up is well-known for its narrow roads, but with the right car you’ll be able to enjoy both the journey and the views once you arrive.
• Garachico: Drive to the coast to find one of Tenerife's most famous villages for its "El Caletón." Natural swimming pools formed by lava flows centuries ago. There’s also a castle nearby and loads of local must-try restaurants, so you can really make a day out of the trip.
• Los Gigantes: These massive 2,000-foot cliffs are a must when visiting the island. Drive over to the Archipenque viewpoint to find the best view. Here, you’ll be able to see the town’s marina surrounded by the volcanic walls.
