Tenerife never was usual island. And today islanders whom Spaniards named quanchi, have not forgotten that once it was called “Happy” because lived there so many that we if we learn, will die of envy. Canary Islands lie at width of Tropic of Cancer, and their climate is considered the most healthy in the world.

Spaniards named this island “Infernal” because of a volcano, but actually too with envy, probably. The smaller part was made by dark-haired people of low growth, natives of Northwest Africa. But the majority consisted of high white-skinned people growth more than two metres with blue eyes, reddish hair - descendants of Vikings. From them there were only mummies. To see them it is possible in an archaeological museum of the city of Santa of Krus - capitals Tenerifes. A show not for the nervous. But everyone can be convinced that mysterious гуанчи were blond giants.

THE SOUTH OF TENERIFE: TO CATCH UP AND OVERTAKE THE NORTH

In the south in villages peasants it is lazy graze relic goats, everywhere the originality which has become permeated with the smell of local wine. Here till now pour мальвазию from dusty large bottles, do flat cakes гофио, which fur-trees people of an average neolith гуанчи, mould pots without a potter’s wheel and speak on a strange mix Spanish and Canary.

The south of Tenerife, unlike the advanced North would arrive in such condition, almost till 90th years, but fifteen years ago has jerked in a separation. With the motto: to catch up and overtake the rich north.

Per 90-years here there have arrived modern pirates: pirates of business, a shark of capitalism also have decided: to a modern superresort to be. The south is the south and a potable water problem stood here always sharply, but tourists of a problem with water do not interest, it weather submit. And in the north, on that it and the north, no, and will pass a rain. The Englishman is not glad to a rain, the German is not glad to a rain, and our compatriot from the polar country is not glad especially, and the south of Tenerife provides rest on all hundred.

If capital Las Palmas of island Gran Canaria and capital Tenerife Santa Cruz de Tenerife compete among themselves the south of Tenerife does not compete to anybody, even with Azure Coast. It is self-sufficient and not комплексует. There - history and claims. Here - pleasure and pleasure of a life - “дисфрута де ла a kind is simple!” - “to enjoy a life!” - here the main motto of a resort. The south is proud of the resorts-cities which flow one in another - Los Cristianos, Las Americas and Adeje. Time goes on advantage to such upstarts.

In the south the ecological architecture prevails now. Hotels and settlements smoothly flow down from mountain to ocean. Nothing prevents to admire to an eye a landscape. At once you see differences. The hotels constructed in 70 are similar to building СЭВа, on the opened book or on the huge flat cartridge left ashore.

At the good journalist - 30 stamps, at bad - five. Describing this resort, it is possible to use two - luxurious and magnificent.

Style of the south of Tenerife is defined by magnificent country houses and four-five-stars hotels. That hotel, any club.
