Making the Most of Your Holidays to the Canary Islands

Seven beautiful islands, limitless possibilities. If you’ve ever been to a place where you don’t run out of things to do, you’re probably in the Canary Islands. Those who have been to one or more of these beautiful destinations, keep coming back (or wish to be back soon). But for those who are first-time tourists in the archipelago, you are in for a huge stunning surprise. The Canary Islands is a group of beautiful land masses in the territory of Spain. Floating on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, you can expect the islands to bring out the fun and carefree spirit in you. If you’re going there for the first time, here are the top things you need to experience.

The Best Things to Do in the Canary Islands

All of the Canaries are excellent beach destinations. With fine golden, sometimes black sand; cool and blue waters and clear skies, any beach in the Canary Islands is sure to satisfy the beach bum in you. Picking one or more beaches to visit is going to be a problem though because each one is beautiful and unique. But to start with, consider going to Corralejo in Fuerteventura, Isla Graciosa in Lanzarote, Teresitas and Playa Del Duque in Tenerife.

The archipelago is also abundant with numerous water activities apart from swimming. In most islands, you can do most or all of the following: snorkelling, scuba diving, and ride in a yellow underwater submarine. Additionally, you can go sailing, windsurfing and dolphin/whale watching.

The Canaries are naturally a beach paradise, but there’s so much you can do on land too. You may want to venture into the deep ravines and trek the mysterious trails. Or, if you’re the adventurous kind, climb Mount Teide for a more fulfilling experience. Instead of just hiking, go bicycling, ride the cable cars or take a stroll while riding the camels.

 

 

Best of the Canary Islands: When to visit Canary islands

With its eternal sunshine and unspoiled beauty, the Canary Islands draw millions of tourists year-round. However, the best time to go would be in spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). The sun is there, the temperature is still mild, but you get the added benefit of avoiding a massive influx of crowd during summer and winter. You can also hire a car to explore the islands flexibly.

If you want to escape the dreary winter during December in your hometown, come over to Tenerife and Gran Canaria. These two islands are also ideal for travelling families and couples. In summer, the best islands you want to go to are Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Most times the wind is calm and gentle, but other times, it could get a little harsh. Both islands are ideal for tourists who are into sailing and watersports.
