Austria isn’t especially renowned for its food. Most people unfamiliar with it would consider Austrian cuisine to be a heavy on stews and stodgy ingredients like that of its Central European neighbours. But you’d have it oh so wrong – food in Austria is an altogether different affair with plenty of great dishes to tempt the taste buds of even the most discerning diner.
Venture away from Tenerife’s sunshine-drenched southern coast and head north and not only will you see a rather different island, you’ll also discover plenty of culture in Tenerife. For those with an eye for history, its old capital, San Cristobal de la Laguna is worth a visit. This isn’t only a UNESCO World Heritage site, but one of the most historic and authentic places on the island for a day trip from the south. Alternatively, it’s also a lovely place in which to base yourself for a holiday exploring the north of Tenerife.
