Tenerife has come a long way in the past two decades, shaking off its gaudy stereotypes of a cheap and somewhat tacky fly-and-flop destination, in favour of better-quality experiences, up-market hotels and resorts , a spectacular food and drink scene, and an appreciation for cultural and historical activities and sights.
