Don't expect anything special in the way of shopping in Tenerife. Parque Santiago III in Playa de las Americas sells clothes, discounted electrical goods and represents one of the best shopping areas in the south. If you're looking for souvenirs then head for Los Cristianos or the Thursday and Saturday market in Fanabe.
Santa Cruz has a number of covered malls, including the upmarket Corte Ingles department store. La Laguna features designer shops as well as more traditional stores.
Children are well-catered to on the island, with hotel kids clubs, beaches and water sports providing more than ample entertainment.
But there is even more on offer from your Tenerife holiday. From Playa de las Americas, book a five hour glass-bottomed boat trip to spot dolphins, whales and porpoises. Pleasure Island offers golf, rides and a children's play area consisting of an inflatable magic mountain, bouncy castle, arcade games, pool tables and air hockey tables. There's also Aqualand, camel riding, a monkey park and activities like horse-drawn cart rides, hot air balloon trips and submarine safaris.
