The Tenerife City Guides deal with what every visitor wonders: where islanders eat goat and wrinkled potatoes for very little, how to plan Teide around cable car slots and summit permits, which beaches stay calm for small children and where Santa Cruz and La Laguna spend their nights. Each guide is a tight, opinionated list that tells you why a place is worth it, what to order or look out for and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser the moment payment goes through.

Three places from the guides
Casa Paca
Benijo, end of the Anaga road
A covered terrace in a tiny hamlet where the Anaga road runs out, a short walk from the beach. Goat stew, rabbit and octopus arrive in generous portions at honest prices; order at the bar and let the veteran waitress run the show. From the food guide.
Casa de los Balcones
Calle San Francisco, La Orotava
The 17th-century house whose carved wooden balconies have become the face of La Orotava. Plan an hour with the audio guide on your phone, plus a look at the craft shop; fine for younger children, awkward with a buggy. From the things to do guide.
Playa de El Médano
El Médano
A pale-sand beach with a relaxed, local promenade, the red cone of Montaña Roja behind it and kitesurfers and windsurfers crossing the bay whenever the wind picks up. Cafés line the front and parking is simple. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Finish the game, open the guide
World City Trail’s Tenerife scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the historic centre. The guides carry on from there: a long lunch in a north-coast guachinche, a cocktail on a Santa Cruz rooftop, a bus up to the Teide viewpoints or a free museum afternoon in La Laguna.
