Product Description

200 pages written with insight and passion by authors who have spent years treading the streets of every town and village, trekking along goat trails in the mountains and revelling at fiestas until dawn (all in the name of research). In short exploring the Tenerife that visitors and even most residents never see... the Tenerife which lies beyond the holiday brochures.

Much more than just a tourist guide, Going Native in Tenerife gives you a native's eye view of this surprising, beautiful and diverse Spanish island which lies off the coast of Africa.

Inside you will discover:

• hidden treasures beyond the tourist hotspots
• a brief look into Tenerife's past and future
• intimate guided tours of towns and villages across the island
• personal photographs from the authors' travels
• tips on when, where and how to enjoy the island's fiestas
• much, much more...

'Going Native' guides are written with a rare type of traveller in mind... longer term visitors who want to become a true part of their new home.

So, whether your stay is a month or a lifetime this guide will give you everything the tourist travel guides won't.

From the Publisher

This is the fourth book in our "Going Native" series. The first was "Going Native in Murcia", the second was "Going Native in Catalonia" and the third was "Going Native in Alicante". We're keen to hear from other expats living in Spain keen to write the "Going Native" guide for their home region. So be sure to get in touch!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best to Go Native not naked, February 10, 2009

By	Sunslave (Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews

This book scores on two important levels as a take-along travel book. First it is short and pithy, so no tedious chapters of endless detail to wade through before you get to the hard stuff. It takes you straight into your surroundings. Second, it is written in a very friendly, conversational style. This makes it very accessible, like having a knowing friend alongside you pointing out the features as you stroll along. You can read this on the plane going over, then refer to the relevant pages when you're 'going native'. It's also an easy read on your tour coach or in the pavement cafe as you sip your cafe con leche. If you can't manage a personal Tour Guide this is a very affordable alternative. The next edition could manage a few more pictures. Why not submit yours. The author might be grateful. And you might become famous.
