Below you will find an introduction to the Canary Islands, to give you a broad spectrum of the things to do and see, along with relevant websites providing more detailed information.

Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is often described as a mini continent as it has many different climate zones very close together, for example desert plans and tropical forests, and landscapes with European, African and American vegetation. One can relax among the rolling dunes of Maspalomas or party all night on the beach side resort of Playa del Inglés.

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary islands and among the least populated. Fuerteventura, however, is famous for its amazing beaches and surfable waves, such as in Corralejo and El Cotillo, or the long strands of Playa de Sotavento on the Jandía Peninsula, where you can take a stroll or go sunbathing.

La Gomera is one of the smaller islands and less tourist orientated, making it the perfect island for a relaxing holiday.
