Hollywood Mirage - Fabulous, Luxurious Holiday resort in Tenerife

This fabulous resort represents the pinnacle of holiday luxury and has redefined the hospitality industry on Tenerife.

The Hollywood Mirage is built in the "American Colonial" style. This harks back to an age of grandeur and elegance whilst incorporating all the modern amenities synonymous with contemporary leisure.

The 335 five star units that make up this benchmark complex are furnished and decorated with the utmost attention to taste and detail and come complete with air conditioning, telephones, satellite televisions, fully fitted and equipped kitchens, microwaves and hairdryers.

Although famous for its sun kissed beaches, bustling tourist towns and lively nightlife, Tenerife has another side to offer its frequentvisitors.

The spectacular volcanic landscape is home to a thriving local culture that has evolved from the fascinating history of this ancient island. Music, dance, cuisine and a colourful dialect paint a picture that reflects the thousands of years of historical change that has shaped the character of the Tenerife people.

Away from the bustling tourist resorts Tenerife offers a fantastic mix of vibrant cities, quaint villages, traditional fishing ports and historic towns.

There are some many places to visit and explore, you'll find it hard to even begin to choose your excursions.

The modest fishing port of Garachico, with its narrow cobbled streets, rough fisherman's cottages and grand town houses was the original capital of Tenerife and in the 16th century was the island's most important port.

The town today makes for an interesting visit, with its smattering of ancient landmarks. In particular the Castillo de San Miguel is well worth a visit with great views of the ocean from the castle's ancient ramparts. One of the main tourist attractions today is the series of rock pools behind the Castillo San Miguel.

Situated in an imposing gorge on the north west of the island, the village of Masca is generally considered to be Tenerife's prettiest village.

The old stone houses look out over lush vegetation and improbably steep ravine walls towards the shimmering Atlantic Ocean.

This remote outpost was only connected to the rest of the island when a road was built in 1991 and it is hard to imagine why the area was settled in the first place.

However, the fertile soil of the valley did at one time support a population of over six hundred denizens. Today the population hovers at a little over one hundred souls who stay on to service the constant stream of tourists to this beautiful corner of the island.

The traditional fishing village of Los Abrigos is situated between the Golf del Sur and El Madeno.

Famed for its pretty harbour and fabulous selection of fish restaurants it is well worth a visit if just to see the quieter side of Canarian living. Rest awhile in a harbour side café and watch the local boats bob lazily away on the protected waters of the harbour.

If you are a sea food aficionado then make sure you eat at one of the harbour restaurants where the food is so fresh it's still swimming.

Either hire a car, jump on a bus or book an organised tour to explore the fascinating places that this holiday island has to offer.
