People have been happy to take the four hour flight to any of the Canary Islands for many years now. Located just off the coast of West Africa, the main islands of Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura are an absolute dream for hundreds of thousands of Brits each year.
These islands have a infrastructure that is completely geared towards tourism. Whether it is luxury five star hotels on Gran Canaria, or Holiday Villas in Lanzarote, this is one part of Spain that you can head to and know that there is something that will completely cater to your taste and requirements.
Then, of course, we have that Canarian weather. The best way to describe the type of climate you could expect in the Canary Islands would be as sub-tropical. There tends to be very little rain, year round, and the temperatures range from a pleasant 21 to 28 degrees Celsius.
The islands have a great choice of activities and attractions. Mount Teide, on Tenerife, is an impressive volcano that dominates the island and it is perfectly possible to climb this natural structure. Other popular attractions include some of the best beach resorts you will ever visit, plus many quieter and quaint villages and towns if you like to get away from it all.
Best of all, though, you can nearly always find some good deals on holidays to the Canary Islands. The amount of competition on the islands means that prices are usually kept at a very affordable level.
