The Canary Islands lie in the Atlantic west of Africa, more than 1,000 kilometres south of Spain but only 120 kilometres from African coast. Their volcanic origin has left them with a landscape quite unlike any other. The seven most important islands are Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Palma, Tenerife and Gomera. Although so much closer to Africa than Spain, the culture is entirely Spanish in character.
The principal Canary Islands
Tenerife is the biggest island and is a lush paradise except for the area around the extinct volvcano of Mount Teide where it is almost moon-like.
Gran Canaria has wonderful beaches to offer and a swinging nightlife.
Fuerteventura has perhaps the best choice of beaches of all the islands.
La Palma is the northernmost island and is referred to as 'la Isla Bonita' because of its immense natural beauty. Its landscape and vegetation are different from all the other islands.
The islands have more than 1,000km of coastline, most of which consists of magnificent beaches.
Hotels on the Canary Islands
There is accommodation for more than 400,000 visitors and the hotles among the best in Europe. Most of the are located along the coastal strip.
Canary Islands Culture
Because of the location of the islands, the people have developed a personality combining many different cultures. Much of the old traditions have been preserved and folk music and folk lore are part of daily life. Canarian handicrafts have also survived. The islanders offer unique linen and lace as well as pottery. The most important festival is without doubt the carnival in February although there is not one month goes by without some kind of fiesta.
Speciality cuisine of the Canary Islands
Another great attraction of the islands is the food. Its simplicity emphasises the quality of the vegetables, fresh fish and excellent meats. Thick soups are popular along with marinated meats.
