Here is an extract from one of the brochures that the travel agent gave Thomas: "Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, close to the coast of Africa. The island enjoys spring weather all year round, with average temperatures of 20 degrees in winter and 25 in the summer. Tenerife is the ideal place to enjoy the seaside or to practise all sorts of outdoor activities, both in the sea and on land. Tenerife has much to offer culturally and commercially: a permanent calendar of exhibitions, music and theatre, as well as the best shops and shopping centres. For nightlife, there are atmospheres to suit every taste. And don't forget to enjoy the delicious fish and seafood in Tenerife's typical restaurants!"
