Things to do in Tenerife in May 2025

May starts with a bang in Tenerife, as the night sky over chilly, hilly Los Realejos warms up with a riotous firework display to mark the Día de la Cruz. There's additional colour in the floral crosses which further prettify this charming northern town.

Moving towards the middle of the month, go local on the island by taking to the streets in Puerto de la Cruz. Here, Mueca - the street art festival - takes advantage of the legendary favourable climate of the Canary Islands to stage entertainment of the al fresco variety. Watch acrobats perform exhilarating, gravity-defying feats and clowns similarly bridging the language divide through the medium of mine.

Later in the month, the Tenerife Walking Festival allows you to get up close and personal with the island. Experienced guides lead hikes through some of the island's most stunning terrain. The penultimate day in May sees the Día de Canarias celebrated across the island(s) with natives dusting off their traditional Canarian costumes and bringing out the tiples again for more folk offs. Although, over in capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the month is one long party thanks to the Fiestas de Mayo, which is a series of interconnected events throughout May, including dances and a wine fair.
