Overview

Spain, The Canary Islands

Enjoy an eternal spring break in the Canaries, an archipelago that is composed of 7 islands: Tenerife, Grand Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and Hierro, and several smaller islands in the Atlantic Ocean not far from the Saharan coast. This is where the Greeks laid out the famous Hesperides Garden, and you can understand why: abundant vegetation, turquoise waters, craters, dunes and white sandy beaches are just some of the natural features that draw visitors to this popular holiday destination.

pros

  •  A warm climate all year round.
  •  Developed and reliable tourism infrastructure in place.
  •  The volcanic landscapes, ideal for hiking.
  •  A piece of Spain in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
  •  The quality of life.

cons

  •  Busy tourist sites and the inconvenience that goes with them: waiting in queues, noise, etc.
  •  The constant construction work that affects the aesthetic of the islands and their coasts.
  •  The cultural heritage of the Canary Islands not as rich as that of continental Spain.

Our Editorial team's advice

Make sure you plan your visits in advance: even though the transport links between the islands are regular, a minimum amount of organisation is required. Ensure you are well prepared for the heat during sea crossings, excursions and hikes (they are generally organised in the spring/autumn). In the summer, try to leave early or come back late to avoid travelling in the heat of the day. However, it gets chilly at high altitudes so don't forget to pack some warm clothes.
