How do you spend an afternoon in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain? You could grab your towel and head to one of the many beaches. The volcanic origins of the islands lend them unique, pitch-black sands. You could try your hand at various water sports, from a speedy jet ski to a banana-boat ride; or sit back and relax on a yacht, armed with champagne. Or, you could sample some local cuisine at a beach-side restaurant. Dig into a grilled vieja or parrot fish, which is a Canarian favourite, and wash it down with the local Malvasia wine.
