When to visit

The climate across the Canary Islands is mild year-round, with relatively minimal seasonal change. That said, southern areas of both Tenerife and La Gomera see most sun and record the higher temperatures, while the north tends to be cooler, with more rainfall. Inland from the coast, higher terrain means temperatures become progressively colder, with Tenerife’s Mount Teide often experiencing freezing temperatures and occasional snow cover. High season is during the European winter, and places get especially busy from mid-December to February, when temperatures hover around 20°C. The islands are also popular at Easter and during summer holidays (June–Sept) when temperatures can get up to 30°C. A low season of sorts exists between these times, with the notable exception of the carnival period (Feb or March), when Santa Cruz is at its busiest. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: The Rough Guides' Tenerife Directions 2 (Rough Guide Directions) (Paperback)

This book gives good descriptions of the various towns, areas and sights on Tenerife. However, there are not as many hotel & restaurant reviews as I would like. Also, a map indicating the locations of hotels & restaurants would be much more helpful than just addresses.
