Spain
Region: Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are an archipelago of volcanic origin anchored in the Atlantic, a subtropical paradise that offers a world of diversity on each of its islands. Tenerife, crowned by the majestic Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, combines ancient forests with vibrant resorts. Gran Canaria, a 'miniature continent', goes from the desert dunes of Maspalomas to leafy valleys in its interior. Lanzarote, the island of fire, is a canvas of art and nature sculpted by César Manrique on lunar volcanic landscapes. Fuerteventura is the paradise of wind and endless white sand beaches. La Palma, 'the Beautiful Island', is an orchard of laurel forest and starry skies. La Gomera is a labyrinth of ravines with an ancestral culture such as the Gomero whistle. And El Hierro, the smallest, is a world example of sustainability and a paradise for diving. Traveling to the Canary Islands is jumping from one universe to another in a short trip by boat or plane.

Tips for Adventure

Aviso de Viaje

Although the climate is mild, the sun can be very strong even in winter; always use sun protection. The Atlantic currents can be strong on some beaches, always respect the flags. To visit popular places such as the Teide National Park (to climb the peak) or the Cueva de los Verdes (Lanzarote), it is highly recommended to book online in advance. The microclimate is a reality: you can have sun on the coast and it may be raining in the mountains of the same island, so bring a variety of clothing.

Best time
Any time of year is good thanks to its mild climate, which is why they are known as 'the islands of eternal spring'. **Winter** is high season for Europeans seeking sun. **Spring and autumn** offer very pleasant temperatures. **Summer** is ideal to enjoy the beaches, although without the extreme heat of the peninsula. The trade winds soften temperatures throughout the year.
