Through the windows of the descending plane we can already see banana plantations, azure creeks washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and the proud snowy summit of Teide volcano – the main symbol of Tenerife Island, where we went on a media tour organized by “Anex Tour” for Moscow journalists at the end of December, 2013. We got a taste of the peculiar insular way of life of Tenerife’s residents and saw the main sights and the best hotels of the island resort.
