Our planet is very diverse, so it is not surprising that we have such beautiful  places to spend  summer time during  vacations. Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers create beautiful beaches for us. Let’s get a look at some the most famous  of them.

Tenerife, Canary Islands

… are a Spanish archipelago, which consists of seven major islands, one minor island, and several small islets. They are of volcanic origin and can be found in the North Atlantic Ocean. These islands are located just off the coast of the north-western portion of the African continent/mainland, nearest the political divide of Morocco and Western Sahara. The Canary Islands were formed by the Canary hotspot.  After the Moratoria act passed by the Canarian Parliament in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no more hotels could be built on the island unless they are classified as 5 star-quality and comprise different services such as golf courses or convention facilities. This act was passed with the goal of improving the standard of tourism service and promoting environmentally conscious development.

Tenerife receives more than 5 million tourists every year; of the Сanary islands, Tenerife is the most popular.
