part of the Canary Islands. It is located near the
northwest coast of Africa. It’s the largest and most
populous island in the Canary Islands and the most
populous Spanish island. Tenerife, despite being
geographically located in the oceanic waters off the
coast of northern Africa, is an integral part of Spain
and the European Union. The currency on the island
is the euro and the official language is Spanish. The

the aquatic environment, i.e. fish, for example

there other animals such as birds, reptiles and
mammals. For example, a canary, a sea turtle, a
bat.

21. There is a tropical climate here, which,
combined with the volcanic origin of the
archipelago, has shaped the island's unique
vegetation. There are such plants as the
dragon dracaena (dragon tree), ruby snake,
canary date palm and canary pine.
22.
23. Tenerife is internationally known as the land of
eternal spring. The climate of Tenerife is
significantly influenced by two sea currents: the
cooler Canary currents and the warmer one, called
the Gulf Stream. They cause ocean temperature
fluctuations from 18 to 20 ° C. In addition, winds
(trade winds and antitrade winds from the Azores
and Africa) cause that temperatures are slightly
lower than usually expected at this latitude. The
northeast wind is most stable in the summer
months and helps maintain a temperature of
around 28 ° C
24.
25. Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary Islands
archipelago is located near the west coast of Africa.
Due to this fact it is often said to be the island of
endless spring. And there is something to it, because
the perfect weather is here all year round! The winter
we know from Poland practically does not occur here,
and rainfall is very low. The average temperature in
winter does not fall below 17 ° C, while in summer it is
above 20 ° C. A slight drop in temperature is felt in
November and December, as well as at the beginning
of the year. Rain then occurs more often, but certainly
not every day. About 300 m of rain falls here
throughout the year. For comparison, the average
annual amount of rainfall in Poland is almost twice as
high.

going on a trip to the mountains of Anaga -
the geologically oldest area of Tenerife. The
mountains delight with views, spaces, chasms
and narrow, sharp roads. There is also the
Teide volcano there. It is the highest hill in
both the Canary Islands and all of Spain.
28.
29. There are natural pools in Tenerife.
These are bathing beaches formed by
rocks. The seawater flows on one side
and a wonderful bathing place is
created. In addition, there are over 400
species of fish in Tenerife, which means
that the aquatic environment is very
diverse.
