We’ve all heard of the Canary Islands, the beautiful Spanish archipelago famed for the quality of their beaches and fabulous weather. But how many of us have actually gone as far as researching the area as a potential holiday destination? Too far & too expensive you may say, but you’d be surprised. These days there is an abundance of cheap package holidays on offer which is probably why over 10 million tourists choose one of the seven main islands in the Canaries as their holiday destination of choice each year.

Of all the islands, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria are the most popular and with each offering something a little different to the other it is easy to see why.

Tenerife has a stunning landscape. Volcanoes, deserts, mountains and of course beautiful sandy beaches are all worth seeing. Along with lively resorts, an amazing variety of foods and great weather all year round this truly is an ideal get away.

Fuerteventura can’t be beaten for the quiet seclusion it presents. Endless beaches with beautiful sand dunes it offers the most unspoilt, tranquil walks in the sun along with great water sport activities, you can choose to be as active or passive as you wish.

Lanzarote remains as popular now as it did when it first starting attracting tourists and you can see why. Fantastic scenery, lively nightlife and a wealth of resorts it has something for everyone.

Gran Canaria’s landscape is vast and varied, from dry desert like sand dunes to lush forests the flora and fauna is a joy to see. Nightlife can be as noisy as you dare and there is sure to be something on offer every night and day from casinos to restaurants, water sports to golf.

The Canary Islands all have a wealth of resorts available from family friendly self catering options to group holiday all inclusive packages and most can be a ‘steal’ with online travel agents offering cheapest holidays in Tenerife all year round. Flights average four hours from Britain and with guaranteed good weather all year round the Canary Islands should, at the very least, be put down on your ‘Next holiday destinations list’ (as number 1).
