Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are an enticing archipelago privy to a subtropical climate, inviting globetrotters to this Spanish paradise off the North African coast. Tenerife is the largest of the islands, boasting a unique volcanic legacy shaping its landscape, ecosystems, and culture. Revel in the black sand on the island's many beaches, or venture into the Atlantic for world-class big-game fishing. Embark on an adventure to Spain's highest peak and the world's third-tallest volcanic island mountain, the Teide Volcano. The enchanting Puerto de la Cruz, the main town, resonates with the charm of its cobbled streets and colonial architecture, immersing you in its rich maritime history. 

The tranquil coves and beaches on the southern coast of Gran Canaria contrast the livelier tourist hubs of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and San Bartolome de Tirajana in the north. Those seeking adventure can go scuba diving, surfing, sailing, and windsurfing before exploring the capital, Las Palmas's historic neighbourhoods, home to a captivating cathedral, and 15th and 16th-century colonial architecture. 

Fuerteventura's pristine white sand beaches, blessed with year-round sunshine, offer over 150 beaches to discover. The bustling capital, Puerto del Rosario, is a thriving commercial hub with whitewashed houses, picturesque promenades, and outstanding beaches like Puerto Lajas, Jarugo, and Playa Blanca. 

Exploring Lanzarote, the most volcanically striking of the Canary Islands, will feel like exploring a lunar landscape adorned with craters, canyons, and valleys forged from solidified lava. Enjoy golfing, deep-sea fishing, and world-renowned surfing at the major tourist hubs, including Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca, and Puerto del Carmen.
