Tenerife is a fairly large island, with most hotels being concentrated within several distinct areas. Santa Cruz is the largest city and the capital of the island. Santa Cruz has plenty of hotels and apartments and makes a good base for exploring the northeast of the island. Puerto de la Cruz is the second largest tourist city in Tenerife and has a traditional Spanish feel to it.
