In Tenerife’s La Laguna, La Pedrera de Cho’Camilo has become famous for its enormous half portions. This family-run restaurant serves Canarian classics like lentil stew, mushrooms and beef churrasco at surprisingly affordable prices. Open weekdays for lunch, but be aware: no parking, no card payments and poor mobile reception.

Tucked away in Los Realejos, Tenerife, Bodega La Suertita is a small guachinche winning hearts with its local Canarian cuisine. Open only on Fridays and Saturdays, this intimate spot serves up a concise but flavour-packed menu in a peaceful natural setting.

The Tenerife Exhibition Centre has completed a major roof upgrade focused on its skylights, boosting natural light and energy efficiency. The work, which began in June 2025, also reinforces waterproofing and extends the building’s lifespan without disrupting events.

Around 400 motorhomes and campervans took to Tenerife’s TF-1 motorway on Saturday morning in a protest organised by the Costa Adeje-Tenerife Ecologist Club Association (ACAT).

Environmentalists and social activists are set to march through Santa Cruz de Tenerife this Sunday against the controversial Cuna del Alma mega-project. Protesters claim the 420 luxury villas will destroy virgin land and bring no benefit to the island. The demonstration follows a recent court order partially suspending construction.

Hundreds of camper van owners demonstrated in Tenerife this week against new rules restricting overnight parking and wild camping. Protesters claim the measures unfairly target responsible travellers and harm the island’s tourism industry.

The Tenerife Bluetrail by UTMB will return from 8 to 10 April 2027, its 15th edition, after this year’s event was cancelled by storm Therese. Organisers have unveiled new race distances, a vertical mode, and strict environmental limits in Teide National Park.
