Canaries - Your Canary islands holiday

Due to the location of the Canary Islands - closer to African than Spain - they offer a fantastic year-round climate for visitors with temperatures rarely dipping below 18C during the winter months, and rarely heating up above 24C in the summer.

This comfortable climate has led the Canaries to be described as 'the land of eternal spring', with the sub tropical climate and wall-to-wall sunshine ensuring that any time of year is good for a Canary Islands holiday, as it's never really too hot, too cold or too wet. In fact, the Canary Islands are just about right for most people (especially northern Europeans) most of the time. A Canary Islands Holiday ensures certain inevitability about sunshine that is the first vital ingredient to any successful holiday - particularly family holidays.

The lack of rainfall (with the exception of lush La Palma which is wetter than the other Canary Islands) and wide choice of tourist activities mean that the five main holiday islands comprising The Canaries have something for everyone and as a result there is a wide range of Canary Islands holidays. Whether you're seeking 'sand, sea and surf', diving, sailing, golfing, outdoor adventure such as walking or hiking, nightlife, theme parks, touring, or just some seclusion to rest, relax and recharge, you'll find it all completely possible in The Canaries.

Some of the highlights of a Canary Islands holiday include taking time to appreciate the natural beauty of the volcanic landscape - be it visiting the national reserve of Mount Teide on Tenerife, the world's third tallest volcano, or exploring the extraordinary lava-shaped landscapes of the national parks offering bizarre beauty on La Palma, Lanzarote or Gomera.

The Canary Islands of Tenerife and Grand Canaria have the most lively tourist strips with plenty of fun-filled beach action by day and partying by night. But, head away from the coastal resorts and you'll step back in time to natural beauty ranging from arid landscapes to exotic lush plantations of bananas, sugar cane, coffee and tobacco, along with trees dripping in exotic fruits.

Lanzarote tends to be favoured by those seeking a winter sun Canary Islands holiday due to its great beaches, UNESCO biosphere reserve and host of smaller islands offshore to explore.

Fuertaventura is perhaps best suited to Canary Islands family holidays with its extensive beaches and plenty of water-based activities, as well as boasting arguably the two best adventure parks on the Canary Islands - Baku Water Park and Oasis Park. The island's volcanic interior of protected landscapes offers a great playground for exploring by 4x4 or cross-country motorbike.

Walking enthusiasts and those seeking peace and quiet should consider La Palma, the most beautiful and least developed of the Canary Islands. This is a key destination for nature lovers and eco tourists who are keen to explore the volcanic landscapes of rugged cliffs, black sand beaches and lush vegetation. The weather here is less predicable than the other Canary Islands and wet and wild spells can last several days. This is all to the good as it preserves the island for those who are happy to enjoy nature and pack their waterproofs!

The Canary Islands are just a four-hour flight from the UK, making them an easily accessible and cost-effective destination for year-round sun. The big bonus of any Canary Islands holiday is not having to fly long haul for guaranteed sunshine, especially during winter months. And with excellent connections between the Canary Islands themselves, it's easy to co-ordinate a holiday where you can visit several different destinations.
