| The healing climatic conditions, which occur especially
in the southwest of the island, and most notably
in Los Cristianos, were decisive in the choice of
location for our hotel. |
|
The constant northeast trade winds, the closeness
to the equator, the influence of the Gulf Stream
and of the surrounding ocean are all responsible
for the mildness of the climate. This is especially
the case on the south side of the 3,718 m high
volcanic mountain, the Teide. It is therefore
not surprising that the island of Tenerife has
for decades been recognised as one of the places
with the best climate in the world.
|
| The northeast trade winds hit the Teide from the
north, dropping their rain on the northern slopes
of the volcano and the island. This affects the
area of Puerto de La Cruz which is why this area
remains green. Once the rain has fallen, the remaining
dry and warm air reaches the southern side of the
volcano, meets the sea once more and then flows
back to the coast and once again climbs the southern
slopes of the hills.(Rotation winds). The dryness
and warmth of the air, both by day and night, lead
to incredibly healthy weather conditions which are
not to be found on any of the other Canary Islands. |
| The positive effects of this climate on people
suffering from multiple sclerosis, rheumatic conditions,
psoriasis, neurodermatitis or certain allergic conditions
has resulted in visitors coming to the island in
search of cure or treatment from all over Europe. |
| A reputable German scientist, Prof. Dr. Hiltermann,
made a thorough research of the climate in Los Cristianos
and concluded as follows: |
| "The climate in Los Cristianos meets all
requirements of Medical Meteorology. All influential
bioclimatic factors are present to an optimal degree.
The important thing about a thermal is that its
long-wave and solar radiation scarcely warm the
air temperature in the shade to above 30º C.
There is no heat stress as the low average air humidity
of 49 % prevents the normal transpiration of any
given warm current. The evenness between day and
night temperatures is also to be considered a protective
factor." |
