Local context
What to expect in February
🎯 Santa Cruz Carnival (Feb-Mar) — world's 2nd biggest carnival after Rio Even in winter, Tenerife enjoys 20°C. A real asset for escaping the European cold. Expect rain on 28% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. Not the best window, but acceptable if dates are constrained. August (9.0/10) is significantly better if possible.
