Join with us at the EZE Group as we take you through some of the natural history of this beautiful island. We at the EZE Group love the Tenerife and we hope you too will come to love this wonderful place.
Tenerife enjoys a wonderfully benign climate, cooled by the trade winds and warmed by its southerly latitude. Tenerife boasts an average winter temperature of 22° C rising to a warm but not unpleasant 28° C in summer. Small wonder the island is known as the Island of Eternal Spring.
The island has taken over 50 million years of constant seismic activity to form. It took its current shape about 3 million years ago. Tenerife is basically a group of small volcanoes based around the awe inspiring and beautiful Mount Teide (the largest mountain in Spain). But fear not,Teide erupted last in 1798. Although the neighbouring El Hierro is active and we speak and has caused evacuations as recently as the latter part of 2011. Vulcanologists tell us that we are safe for the time being, but vulcanology is an inexact science at the best of times. We have the volcanoes that these islands are based on for much of our beautiful landscapes and stunning scenery.
This volcanic formed topography has led to some truly amazing natural phenomena; the Anaga Massif in the north east corner of the island is a place of amazingly steep gorges and ravines, the incredibly beautiful Valle de Orotava (a national park) and the Valle de Guimar are 2 deep valleys formed by huge geological movements, the truly gigantic cliffs at Los Gigantes, all go to make Tenerife an amazing natural spectacle.
Its geography and geology have both conspired to make such a wonderful variety of landscapes in such a small area. This variety has led in turn to Tenerife nurturing a whole series of microclimates, each with a diverse ecological make up. For example Tenerife is home to over 1,400 different species of plant. The sea teams with over 400 species of fish together with turtle, whale and dolphin. A warm temperate sea meets a warm temperate land, Tenerife really does deserve it's name of old, "The Fortunate Isle".
All this beauty has to be protected and so it’s reassuring to know that over half the island's landmass is protected by law and guarded closely by the Canarian Island Network for the Protection of Natural Areas. Tenerife is also the site of over 43 specially protected sites of outstanding ecological interest. No wonder we at the EZE Group love living and working here.
