Tenerife guide: what to know between two nights out
The club nights live in our calendar; this guide covers what happens around them in Tenerife: getting from the airport to the south, the nights the Santa Cruz carnival takes to the streets, what to wear, which ID the door asks for, and the island's other nights. Every time, fare and date is checked against its official source.
