Long warm summers and mild winters ensure their popularity as perfect all year round holiday retreats.
In Tenerife, the magnificent mountain scenery in the heart of Teide National Park is a sight to behold. Declared a World Heritage Site, visitors enjoy stargazing here before relaxing on one of the many beautiful beaches by day.
Corralejo in Fuerteventura has a lovely old town and white sand beaches – it is certainly worth a visit. The coast to the south of Gran Canaria is ever-popular or why not visit the heart of the island, high above sea-level?
Visit Lanzarote, with its chic resorts of Puerto Calero and Playa Blanca, as well as Timanfaya National Park, which has been designated a World Biosphere Reserve.
Caldera de Taburiente National Park, also a World Biosphere Reserve, can be found on La Palma. Known as ‘The Beautiful Island’, visitors can stay in a quiet resort or traditional fishing village.
La Gomera is home to Garajonay National Park, a World Heritage Site. Visitors to San Sebastian, on the eastern side of the island, can enjoy views across to Tenerife. El Hierro is the smallest of the Canary Islands.
