In North Tenerife, Santa Cruz has a climate similar to South Tenerife but as you start to go further North, the climate changes rapidly and dramatically. At a higher altitude, the area is often shrouded in a haze, similar to mist. Also there is a significantly higher rainfall than in the South, which of course means lush green vegetation!
