What to do on Tenerife when it rains
Rain on Tenerife? Here’s where to find the sun and what to do on a rainy day, from people who live on the island.

Rain on your holiday doesn’t have to mean a lost day. Tenerife has many microclimates, so when it rains in one place, the sun is often shining somewhere else.
Check the other side of the island
The north is greener and cloudier, the south is usually drier. Before you give up on the day, check the weather in another part of the island – it’s often a short drive away.
Three ideas for a rainy day
Go above the clouds
The clouds often stay low, so up in Teide National Park you can be in full sun.
Explore an old town
La Laguna and Puerto de la Cruz have cafés, shops and history to enjoy under cover.
Try Canarian food
A long lunch with local dishes is never a bad plan.
