Tenerife authorities have insisted it’s business as usual for tourists as firefighters are working around the clock to keep the blazes contained to the central parts of the island and away from holiday hotspots.

The Tenerife Tourism Corporation has said that, thanks to an improvement in weather conditions, the evolution of the fires has been more favourable than expected with life continuing as normal in the island’s main cities of Santa Cruz and La Laguna as well as at beach hotspots of Arona, Puerto de la Cruz and San Miguel de Abona.
