From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Tenerife has always been a popular holiday destination thanks to tip-top temperatures and sunny days even through winter. The island blossomed from the package holiday boom starting in the late sixties and our love affair with the island for beach holidays has continued ever since.

One of the great things about Tenerife is that it is still incredibly good value in regards to accommodation on offer to families, couples, solo travellers and even digital nomads. Over the past few years, Tenerife has made concerted efforts to improve the quality of its hotels and resorts, and while some areas have seen price increases, there are still bargains to be had in popular spots across the island.

Whether you’re looking for a budget city bolthole, a great value family hotel, a self-catering apartment or an all-inclusive by the beach that won’t break the bank, Tenerife has you covered for cheap hotels.
