Highlights of the Canary Islands

One of the main aspects of the Canary Islands that draws in millions of tourists every year is the climate. The temperature in the summer months remains consistently in the high 20s, with rain rarely seen on any of the islands. Even in January, the coldest month for the islands, the temperature rarely gets below 21°C. The consistently and pleasantly warm weather is one of the many reasons tourists return to the Canary Islands year after year.

Tenerife is the largest and most populated of the Canary Islands and also happens to be one of the most popular for holidaying tourists. Tenerife boasts ever-popular tourist attractions including the Teide National Park and volcano, the Loro Parque Zoo, the Thai themed adventure water park of Siam Park and miles of stunning beaches.

The second largest island - Fuerteventura - is another incredibly popular destination thanks to its white sand beaches and year-round warmth. The miles of glorious beaches, ideal for water sports, especially water skiing, windsurfing and surfing, are only interrupted by beautiful cliffs and sheltered coves. The island is home to a variety of rare bird life and whales, while dolphins and turtles are common sights along the coastlines. The Oasis Park is a popular tourist stop that offers interactive experiences with the wildlife. If relaxing and enjoying the natural landscape is more your cup of tea, then the Jandaí Natural Park and Montaña de Tindaya offer gorgeous natural environments and hiking trails.

The Culture, Food & Drinks

The Canary Islands feature a huge variety of events, food and drink to explore on your trip. Two of the most famous carnivals in Spain - the Carnival of Santa de Cruz Tenerife and Carnival of Las Palmas - are celebrated in the months of February and March. The festivities include parades, fancy dress and concerts - and all are unbelievably popular with both locals and tourists alike.

The main features of cuisine in the Canary Islands are freshness, variety, simplicity and the richness of the ingredients that are used. Tapas is incredibly popular in the Islands, as are soup courses, seafood and meats including chicken and pork. The island's top tipple is Ron Miel, a liqueur which tastes of rum and honey. Often served at restaurants as a digestif, the Canary Islands produce an incredible 1.5 million litres of Ron Miel each year.
