Canary Islands

Holidays in the Canaries. The Canary Islands (Islas Canarias) are located in the Atlantic Ocean just off the North West African coast and those choosing a holiday in the Canary Islands will enjoy a perfect climate, with constant mild temperatures throughout the year, fantastic beaches and wonderful mountain retreats. The group consists of 7 larger islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro) and a few smaller ones.

Interestingly, the landscape of each island is vastly different to its neighbours. All the islands are of volcanic origin, and the archipelago offers strikingly diverse landscapes including remarkable sub-tropical flora, luxuriant pine woods, giant sand dunes and mountain peaks. The largest and most popular holiday destinations are Gran Canaria and Tenerife which are each a micro country of their own with everything from beaches to mountains offering fantastically varied landscapes to explore.

Next in popularity come Lanzarote which combines modern resorts with eco-friendly development then Fuerteventura which is famous for its wind-driven watersports and some of Europe's finest beaches. The smaller islands have historically been day trip destinations from the larger islands but are building themselves slowly into resorts in their own right with hotels and resorts. La Gomera is a charming small island whilst La Palma is very green, uncommercialised and arguably the most beautiful island and is primarily a destination for walkers. Most westerly of all is El Hierro, windblown and well off the beaten track, perfect for some of you.
