On a note
You can pay for goods and services on vacation only in euros, and since in local exchange offices and banks the conversion is carried out at an unfavorable rate, it is advisable to exchange currency before traveling to the island.
It is better to drink bottled water, as tap water can make you feel unwell.
It is more convenient to travel around Tenerife by car, which can be rented with an international driver's license and credit card in one of the rental centers.
As a souvenir of your holiday in Tenerife, you can bring jewelry, castanets, Canarian Mojo sauce, olive oil, jamon, wine, ceramics and leather goods.
