It was on the north-west coast that Tenerife secured promotion two seasons ago, so the fans will travel with some lovely memories. Tenerife’s first home game is against Salamanca a week later, before the first “big” match at Rayo. The first Canarian derby in Santa Cruz sees Las Palmas in town on 22^nd January, while the return in Gran Canaria is on 5^th June ‒ the last day of the season.
