If you're making plans to go to Tenerife, make sure you book yourself a hotel in the southern part of the island, because of the better weather conditions. U will find lots of star hotels and good time share resorts. If you're looking for some typical southern European shopping in narrow streets with shops where you have to bargain, definitely go to Los Christianos. It's a town with a nice beach, lots of pitoresque shops, and if you're lucky you might even catch up with a beach volleyball match!
