About Tenerife
The largest Canary Island offers year-round warm weather, with the south coast averaging 22-28°C even in winter. Cost of living is noticeably lower than mainland Spain, and there's a large British and German expat community, particularly around Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. The volcanic landscape is dramatic, healthcare is good, and it's a popular base for digital nomads and retirees.
