Luxury Travel to the Canary Islands

Lying just off the southern coast of Morocco, far to the west in the Atlantic ocean, the Canary Islands are best known for their balmy seaside resorts and year-round sunny weather. But it’s the startlingly interesting landscapes of these seven volcanic islands and their islets that will catch your attention. Think black-and white-sand beaches, verdant and active volcanic peaks, lunar landscapes, star-streaked skies, giant sand dunes and colourful towns.

Tenerife is the group’s largest island. On it you’ll find the enigmatic crest of giant Mount Teide and its lush national park, and two of the islands’ principal cities, capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife and World Heritage Site San Cristobal de La Laguna. Colourful Fuerteventura lies just 60 miles from the African coast and manifests a decidedly North African feel in its architecture and landscape. Waves, wind and some of the biggest and best beaches in the Canaries are also a draw. Gran Canaria is home to the archipelago’s most populous city, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which shares the duties of Capital with Santa Cruz de Tenerife. In its centre, you’ll find the peaks of the Roque Nublo and Pico de las Nieves and in the south, the arresting and spectacular Maspalomas Dunes. Easternmost Lanzarote is celebrated for its great beaches and stark landscape of crinkly black lava fields.

The absence of golden beaches on tiny La Palma has kept sun-loungers and developers at bay, but it’s arguable the most beautiful island of the archipelago. Designated in its entirely as a biosphere reserve, it is the greenest of the islands with rainforest canopy in the north and abrupt rock formations in the south. Characterised by green valleys and towering cliffs whipped into shape by erosion and volcanic activity, little La Gomera houses the Garajonay’s National Park, while El Hierro, once believed to be the westernmost land in the world, is the smallest of the group and declared a Biosphere Reserve in 2000.

• The Canaries host four of Spain's 13 National Parks: Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente, Garajonay Parque Nacional, Timanfaya Parque Nacional and Teide National Park
• Optimal conditions for stargazing with two observatories are located on the archipelago
• Surf, kite-surf, snorkel and dive
• Hike in the mountains
• Take a tour of an active volcano

The best Canary Islands to visit

By Anna Hart

This Spanish archipelago lies off the north-west coast of Morocco , on the exposed tips of a vast volcanic mountain range beneath the Atlantic Ocean. The irresistible combination of Moroccan and Spanish flavours, plus year-round sunshine and a wildly varied topography primed the Canary Islands for over-tourism throughout the 1990s, and they’ve struggled to shake off their bad rep as package-holiday destination ever since. But travellers who look past these dated assumptions are rewarded with an idyllic cluster of wildly diverse islands waiting to be rediscovered.

The varied scenery of the islands is spellbinding: Tenerife , Lanzarote , Gran Canaria and their neighbours have otherworldly volcanic landscapes, lush pine forests, secret rocky coves and swathes of sand dunes. Permanent good weather, historic towns, a calendar of unusual festivals and superlative cuisine and local wine mean there is really no bad time to visit. Travellers can bed down in stylish beach hotels , agriturismo Airbnbs, remote bohemian yurts and cliff-hugging private villas. Whether you’re a dedicated road cyclist keen on discovering remote corners of Gran Canaria, an architecture buff obsessed with César Manrique’s structures across Lanzarote or a nature-lover seeking out new species of wildflowers in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of tiny El Hierro, there is a Canary Island for every traveller.

As the largest and most developed of the islands, Tenerife has sophisticated hotels, brilliant food and a rich cultural offering. But beyond the busy southern hotel complexes, it’s entirely possible to find unspoiled corners, such as cobblestoned Garachico and colourful La Laguna in the rugged and less-developed north, giving travellers the best of both worlds.

Dominating the entire island is snow-capped volcano Pico del Teide, Spain’s tallest peak, criss-crossed with some of the most spectacular hiking trails in the Canary Islands. In Tenerife’s crammed cultural calendar, one highlight is the Carnival of Santa Cruz in February, the biggest parade after Rio de Janeiro. And the Surrealist painter Oscar Domínguez is rightly revered here in his homeland, with a fabulous collection of his canvases displayed at TEA (Tenerife Espacio de las Artes) in Santa Cruz.

We've rounded up the best bits of Tenerife here

FUERTEVENTURA

Just 60 miles off the African coast, Fuerteventura is sun-baked and wind-blasted, with cacti-dotted plains, rolling sand dunes and crashing, emerald-green waves. Its Parque Natural de Corralejo, containing the largest dunes in the Canary Islands, is almost Martian in its otherworldliness. The Atalayita Village Archaeological Interpretation Centre is the island’s most significant historic site, with ancient aboriginal houses built into lava-formed walls. The year-round sunshine and consistent wind make the island a world-class destination for wind-surfers and kite-surfers who flock to Playa de Sotavento, but there are also plenty of sheltered coves for swimming, snorkelling and sun-basking. In a further rebuttal to accusations of over-tourism, goats outnumber people on Fuerteventura, and the prevalence of goat’s cheeses – the most popular being Majorero – on the island’s menus is a constant reminder of their supremacy.

GRAN CANARIA

A multi-faceted favourite with travellers who want to combine some dedicated beach action with mountain hikes and visits to historical towns, the third-largest island in the archipelago is arguably the most diverse of the lot. Nearly half of the Canarian population have made their home here in Gran Canaria, among Las Palmas’s historical highlights including the 15th-century Cathedral of Santa Ana and the 18th-century Casa de Colón, where it is claimed that explorer Christopher Columbus plotted his five-week first voyage to America. The island’s mountainous interior attracts modern explorers, with Artenara perhaps having the most melodramatic views of all.

Devotees swear this is the most authentic Canarian island, a pint-sized delight with some of the best cuisine in the archipelago dished out of backstreet tavernas, a vibrant craft scene and a lingering local lingo – Silbo Gomero – comprised of whistling sounds that carry messages up to three miles to neighbouring villages. San Sebastián is the island’s capital, where restaurants serve watercress soup and fiery papas arrugadas (potatoes with chilli-pepper sauce), and potters can be seen spinning traditional ceramics in open-air workshops. For an island that measures just 22 miles from east to west, it somehow packs in 400 miles of dedicated trails, and it was awarded World Biosphere Reserve status in 2011.

The least developed, second-smallest and most southwestern of the eight main Canary Islands, El Hierro is beloved by responsibly minded travellers for its small-scale, largely family-run enterprises, undulating hillsides dotted with wildflowers and for being entirely self-sufficient with renewable energy. Criminally overlooked, El Hierro is romantic, remote and a haven for hikers, kayakers, snorkellers and surfers.

As a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, more than half of the island is pristine wilderness, and forward-thinking regulations prohibit the construction of buildings higher than two floors. This untamed, traditional yet ecologically progressive island appeals to intrepid adventurers as well as solitude-seekers, while the 47-room Parador hotel is an oasis of low-key luxury and culinary sophistication among the more homespun guesthouses and restaurants around the island. For flight-minimising travellers who want to mix-and-match their Canary Islands, the ferry from Puerto de la Estaca in the north of the island sails to Tenerife in under three hours.

The greenest island in the archipelago, La Palma is dedicated to nature, its black-sand beaches spared the mass development of the larger islands with their white sands. Canarians call the island ‘La Isla Bonita’ (the Pretty Island), and the capital Santa Cruz de La Palma is an architectural delight, with a 16th-century old town lined with grand, balconied and whitewashed manors and residences.

In 1983 La Palma was the first Canary Island to be designated a Biosphere Reserve, and it remains one of the quietest spots in the Canaries, the choice of travellers who prefer low-key luxury and natural abundance over the glitz and glamour of the island’s big sisters.

The rainforested north is a highlight, where the Enchanted Forest lives up to its name, but the volcanic south, where craters and craggy rock formations mark the landscape, is no less remarkable.

This has always been the Canary Island of choice for those looking for a holiday less ordinary. Geologically extreme and culturally unconventional, Lanzarote has a lunar landscape that is characterised by 300 volcanic cones and faintly apocalyptic blackened lava fields, where volcanic vineyards offer a completely unique experience of wine tourism. The island’s glorious irregularity and bohemian ethos is underpinned by the legacy of 20th-century lanzaroteño artist, architect and visionary César Manrique, whose spectacular constructions are dotted across the land and include a cavernous underground music venue and nightclub, a Bond villain-esque lighthouse and a space-age cactus garden.

Beyond its endlessly fascinating culinary and cultural credentials, Lanzarote is a dream destination for road cyclists due to its network of routes, while surf shacks line the coastline.

LA GRACIOSA

It was only in 2018 that Spain’s General Commission of the Autonomous Communities of the Senate declared this dinky rocky outcrop with no paved roads and just 700 permanent residents the eighth official Canary Island. Reached from Lanzarote by a half-hour ferry, La Graciosa is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, making for uncrowded beaches, a smattering of modest guesthouses and restaurants, and dirt roads that can only be navigated by foot, bike and the occasional four-wheel drive. Accommodation is generally confined to campsites or cute rental cottages, but a number of savvy Airbnb hosts accepts guests on their yachts in the tiny marina.

Canaries Holidays

HOW TO SPEND YOUR CANARY ISLAND HOLIDAY

From basking in Spain’s glorious sunshine to taking part in fun-filled activities, there’s something for everyone on a Canary Islands holiday. A cluster of volcanic islands, we offer destination escapes across the Canaries, including holidays to Tenerife and Gran Canaria getaways, as well as escapes to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura . 

Canary Islands holidays are famous for offering beautiful beaches and with summer temperatures averaging 24°C, so be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen with you! An extra treat from the Canaries is the exceptionally warm, sunny weather throughout the year - perfect if you’re looking for a winter sun holiday to escape the cold.

Each Canary island has its own distinctive characteristics too. Scenic Tenerife is ideal for groups of friends and families keen to explore the local sights, visit the many clubs in Playa de las Americas, or make a splash at the world's best waterpark, Siam Park on the Costa Adeje. Lanzarote is a very family-friendly Canary Island holiday, with several waterparks and a popular zoo as well as the fascinating Timanfaya National Park - choose Puerto del Carmen if you like to be at the heart of the action, or Costa Teguise if you'd prefer to relax and get away from it all.

Holidays to Gran Canaria offer almost guaranteed sunshine and the island is a favourite among party animals - Playa del Ingles is home to a host of vibrant nightclubs, however Maspalomas is more low-key. Or if it's a week or two or pure relaxation that you want, Fuerteventura offers quieter resorts such as Corralejo and Costa Caleta that are favoured by couples seeking a more laid-back holiday to the Canary Islands.

Whichever of the Canary Islands you choose, Hays Travel are here to help you plan a holiday to the Canaries that you'll never forget. If you’re looking for an island escape elsewhere, we can help with that too! With Greek island destinations like Santorini holidays and Corfu holidays to choose from too, you’re bound to find the escape you’ve been dreaming of. 

At Hays Travel we have over 40 years of experience in booking amazing holidays to Spain and the Canaries, and are proud to have been voted the UK's Best High Street Travel Agent too!

THINGS TO DO ON YOUR CANARY ISLAND HOLIDAY

From water sports, theme parks and water parks in Lanzarote to golf courses set in Tenerife’s spectacular countryside, there's plenty to do on a holiday to the Canary Islands. Cultural trips, shopping, hiking and even volcano cable car rides are all on the long list of available activities in the amazing islands.

Nightlife in the Canary Islands varies depending on where you choose to stay. Fuerteventura has a buzzing cafe culture with late night bars, while Tenerife is perfect for party holidays by the beach. Playa de Las Americas is considered the party capital of the Canary Islands!

FOOD & DRINK IN THE CANARY ISLANDS

Resorts in the Canary Islands are overflowing with international eateries, with beach resorts serving up everything from a hearty cooked breakfast to a traditional roast dinner.

Whichever island you choose, you'll find a fabulous array of authentic local restaurants for a bite to eat. Local Canarian dishes include papas arrugadas (potatoes cooked in their skins with a salt seasoning), freshly caught seafood and tempting tapas.

You’ll find all the delicacies of Spain on your holiday to the Canary Islands too. Tuck into specialities such as paella and gazpacho, before washing it down with local wine, beer, sangria or freshly squeezed orange juice.

What people love about canary islands tours.

The apartments in the North and South were both clean and well kept. The breakfasts were good. Our room location in the North was a major problem. Our room was 415 which sounds good, but we had to take the elevator to the 4th floor and walk 49 stairs one way to our room. As we are in our 70's and we were vacationing in Europe for 6 weeks we had a large suitcase and carryons also. With no help on the stairs with our suitcases it was difficult to get to and from the room. We discussed this with the receptionist and we could not change as the hotel was full. I feel that we should never have been given this room to start with. The staff was excellent in both apartments both North and South.

The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago made up of 8 islands, each different from the other and located in the Atlantic Ocean, near Morocco, not far from Africa. They are part of the tropical Macaronesia region and have a temperate climate throughout the year.

What documents are needed to travel to the Canary Islands?

To travel to the Canary Islands if you come from Italy, all you need is your identity card. From England you will need a passport. Always check the expiry date!

What languages are spoken in the Canary Islands?

The inhabitants of the Canary Islands speak Castilian. Castilian is spoken in Tenerife. Specifically, one of its variants known as the Canarian dialect deriving from Spanish. However, they are international islands very frequented by foreigners, so the widespread language is English. ​

Which of the Canary Islands is best for you?

Sep 2, 2021 • 13 min read

Each of the eight Canary Islands has its own distinct character and appeal for travelers © Andreas Weibel / Getty Images

Eerily beautiful lava-sculpted mountains, rippling sugar-white and bare black-rock beaches, distant villages teetering atop ridges, tumbling pine forests full of churning mists and exhilarating hikes, and plenty of sun-toasted resorts – Spain’s far-flung Canary Islands are deservedly one of Europe’s most popular destinations.

Many travelers become so enamoured with the Canary Islands that they return year after year, often exploring a different island every trip. But where to start? While the eight Canary Islands make up the archipelago west of Morocco’s Atlantic coast, each island has its own distinct charm, character and appeal. No matter your travel style, here’s a guide to finding the Canary Island that's best for you.

Parts of Spain now require a health pass from visitors to enter indoor spaces

Best island for mountains, hiking and food

Beyond the British-geared tourist resorts sprinkled across the island’s south, Spain’s formidable tallest peak – snow-dusted 12,523ft-high El Teide – puts age-old favorite  Tenerife on almost every las Canarias itinerary. Combined with the surreal Unesco-listed 73-sq-mile Parque Nacional del Teide, this impossibly spectacular volcanic moonscape serves up some of the most exciting hiking in all of Spain. Only 200 walkers a day can tackle the five-hour ascent to the summit: book ahead online . Across the island, other jaw-droppingly beautiful walks lead past charismatic villages, through perfumed Canarian pine woods or down plunging valleys such as the 4-mile (6.5km) Barranco del Infierno .    

And then there’s the blossoming, ever-more sophisticated local food scene. Tenerife is the only Canary island blessed with Michelin stars – six at last count, with temples to haute cuisine running from Martín Berasategui’s two-star, Basque-inspired  M.B to the Padrón brothers’ seafood sensation  El Rincón de Juan Carlos .

Where to stay on Tenerife

Finding a room is generally not a problem in Santa Cruz and in the north of the island (apart from at Carnaval time), but the same cannot be said for the southern resorts, particularly around Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas; book in advance when possible. Hotel Alhambra  in La Orotava sleeps guests in an art-packed 18th-century manor. 

Where to eat on Tenerife

Visitors can ditch the resort buffets in favor of more appealing and imaginative dishes, ranging from traditional Canarian cuisine, typified by robust homestyle cooking, right through to the tantalizing haute cuisine of gastro temples, where innovative chefs serve some fabulously novel fusion combinations. Tenerife's capital city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife hosts an array of outstanding restaurants. Try Guannabi  for creatively executed Mediterranean-fusion dishes in a delightfully converted Canarian house.

How to get to Tenerife

Two airports serve Tenerife: Tenerife Sur Airport handles international flights, while almost all inter-island flights (plus a few international and mainland services) use the older and smaller Tenerife Norte Airport. Ferries also travel to Tenerife from the other Canary islands, but flying is the fastest way to travel between the islands, and prices are very competitive.

Gran Canaria

Best island for mountains, history and food.

The most populous among the islands, often-maligned  Gran Canaria proves as inspiringly diverse as the Canaries’ deliciously varied cuisine. Swirls of mist-cloaked mountains give way to desert-like fields and lush laurel and pine forests (and, yes, a few packed-out tourist resorts), while intriguing pre-Hispanic sights like Gáldar’s  Cueva Pintada conjure a picture of the archipelago’s original inhabitants, the Guanches. Explore further on a twists-and-turns road trip through the island’s high-altitude center, whose beauty and drama peak at top-of-the-world cave-village Artenara, before stocking up on creamy queso de flor (flower cheese) and other local goodies at a farmers’ market. Soak up the distinctive Canarian architecture in soulful capital of  Las Palmas de Gran Canaria , Spain’s ninth-largest city.

Where to stay on Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria arguably has the best range of accommodations in the Canaries, depending on whether you want to wake up to sounds of birdsong, the surf or surrounded by the vigor and excitement of a Spanish-mainland-style city. The bright, colorful and welcoming La Ventana Azul hostel is spectacularly located right on the beachfront and has a rooftop terrace and free snorkel rental.

Where to eat on Gran Canaria

The breathtaking topographic disparities and climatic variations, including contrasting humid trade winds and dry desert-air currents, all help to generate a diverse patchwork of agricultural produce. Along with the aquacultural goods on offer, Gran Canaria's pantry is rich and bountiful. Add to that the farmers' markets and fish markets and you will discover a tempting abundance of food choice. You'll find outstanding "eco-fusion" cuisine at  Llévame al Huerto .

How to get to Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria Airport has direct flights to destinations throughout Europe, as well as all of the Canary Islands. Two passenger harbors on Gran Canaria offer inter-island ferries.

Best island for landscapes, art and architecture

An entrancing world of brooding volcanic cones, glinting black-pebble beaches, thundering Atlantic surf and the odd palm-spangled valley,  Lanzarote feels like a giant color-shifting natural canvas. So it’s no surprise that the island is tightly tied to 20th-century artist and environmental campaigner César Manrique, whose impossible-to-miss influence you’ll uncover around every corner – from the whitewashed, sky-blue-windowed homes of mellow coastal villages like La Caleta de Famara, Arrieta and El Golfo to the inimitable lava-field house at the  Fundación César Manrique . At the heart of it all lies the 20-sq-mile Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. Savor this otherworldly volcanic landscape by scrambling up the sprawling  Caldera Blanca on a 5.5-mile (9km) hike at the park’s edge.

Where to stay on Lanzarote

Much of Lanzarote’s accommodations are in self-catering apartments, private villas and sprawling resorts, which you'll find in Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca. That said, there's a growing number of wonderful independent hotels dotted around, especially in the island's wine-growing region and northern reaches – and places like these play a key role in giving travelers an insight into the fascinating Lanzarote that lies beyond its beach resorts. Artfully reimagined bodega  Buenavista Lanzarote offers five eco-conscious "country suites" amid volcanic vineyards.

Where to eat on Lanzarote

Canarian cuisine stands strong on Lanzarote, but with its own delicious twists, including local goat's cheese, roasted meats and three styles of the much-loved mojo  (spicy sauce made from coriander, basil or red chili peppers). There are wonderful restaurants all over the island (both local-style and creatively international), with the best food found well beyond the resorts. Canarian-international  La Cantina is a beloved dining spot in delightful Teguise.

How to get to Lanzarote

Aeropuerto César Manrique–Lanzarote has an array of flights to and from Europe, as well as Gran Canaria, Tenerife and La Palma. Other Canary islands are accessible with stopovers in Gran Canaria and Tenerife. From Arrecife's Puerto de los Mármoles, ferries connect with Gran Canaria and on to Tenerife and La Palma. From Playa Blanca, there are regular ferries to Corralejo on Fuerteventura.

Fuerteventura

Best island for beaches and water sports.

A Unesco Biosphere Reserve since 2009, the second-largest Canary island (after Tenerife) lures visitors with its dazzling beaches, year-round sunny climate and raw lunar-like beauty. Wind-lashed and evocatively arid,  Fuerteventura is graced by the archipelago’s dreamiest sands: the honey-colored dunes of the protected  Parque Natural de Corralejo , surf-mad  El Cotillo (originally a fishing village) and blissfully undeveloped pale-gold  Playa de Cofete on the island’s southern tip. You can go surfing, sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and diving (even freediving), and venture out on some excellent hikes, including around the Isla de Lobos nature reserve.

Where to stay on Fuerteventura

Corralejo and Morro Jable have the most beds, although casas rurales (village or farmstead accommodations) are increasingly sprouting up in the rural interior. Chic minimalist  Avanti makes a stylish adults-only base in Corralejo.

Where to eat on Fuerteventura

More than any other Canary island, Fuerteventura’s traditional cuisine is simple and essentially the result of poverty, but is today marked by the quality and freshness of its ingredients.  Restaurante Avenida rustles up classic Canarian cuisine.

How to get to Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura airport has direct flights to Gran Canaria and Tenerife, from where you can fly on to the other islands. Ferries depart for Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

Best island for nature and hiking

It’s impossible not to fall for gorgeously green, refreshingly under-touristed  La Palma , with its hushed pine groves, steep rainforested hills and architecturally rich capital  Santa Cruz de la Palma , filled with graceful 16th-century mansions. Around 528 miles (850km) of walking routes meander across the island, the most thrilling of them centered on the unmissable 18-sq-mile Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente, whose 5-mile-wide depression was created by a volcano collapsing in on itself.  The 7-mile (11.4km) round-trip climb to the 6082ft-high summit of Pico de Bejenado is a view-laden showstopper of scattered pines, sharp ridges and mysterious petroglyphs.

Where to stay on La Palma

La Palma has an appealing choice of accommodations suiting all tastes but without the bloated beach resorts on other islands. If you want to live more like a local or in a rural villa with a swimming pool, choose one of the casas rurales for rent across the island. Beamed ceilings set the boutiquey scene at Santa Cruz’ intimate  Hotel San Telmo .

Where to eat on La Palma

The diverse landscapes of "La Isla Bonita" are set to an equally varied and mouthwatering culinary backdrop. Santa Cruz de la Palma offers a tempting range of international and local cuisine, rounded off by a superb cafe or two. Elsewhere, the island is speckled with culinary choice, from handsomely located tapas restaurants in El Paso to select Canarian in the volcanic south or excellent seafood restaurants overlooking dazzling views of the sapphire sea. Book ahead to sample the fresh-produce cooking at locally loved restaurant  Enriclai .

How to get to La Palma

La Palma’s airport keeps the island well connected to the rest of the archipelago, with several flights daily to Tenerife and Gran Canaria, and occasional direct flights to some of the other islands. There are flights to La Palma from European destinations such as London, Manchester, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Brussels and Barcelona. Ferries head to Tenerife, La Gomera and Gran Canaria.

Best island for hiking 

Cascading down thickly forested hillsides and precipitous valleys from the wind-battered 4878ft-high Alto de Garajonay, bohemian  La Gomera is a hiker’s dream. The fairytale-like 15-sq-mile Parque Nacional de Garajonay at the heart of the island bursts with trails tracking through misty ancestral laurisilva forest (try the 6.5-mile downhill  Alto–Hermigua hike ), while elsewhere, thrilling paths cling to sheer valley walls or meander along the blackened volcanic coastline. When you’re all hiked out, stroll the pastel-painted streets of sea-hugging capital  San Sebastián de la Gomera and dig into hearty local specialities like potaje de berros (watercress stew), miel de palma  (palm honey) or fresh goat’s cheese.

Where to stay on La Gomera

The island has, so far, kept grand-scale tourism at bay, and most lodging is in small rural hotels, family-run pensiones, refurbished farmhouses and self-catering apartments. There are also plenty of appealing casas rurales , many of which were abandoned by emigrants and have since been refurbished for tourists. La Gomera's top hotel is the  Parador de la Gomera , in the style of a 15th-century Canarian mansion.

Where to eat on La Gomera

La Gomera's cuisine is classic, simple Canarian, starring fresh seafood, meaty mains, hearty stews such as potaje de berros (watercress stew) and, of course, patatas arrugadas (wrinkly potatoes) with lashings of mojo . The island's international community has introduced a few other flavors too, especially in Valle Gran Rey, which hosts some good fusion and vegetarian restaurants alongside its traditional offerings. Don’t miss the outstanding home cooking at much-loved restaurant  Casa Efigenia .

How to get to La Gomera

Aeropuerto de La Gomera has several daily flights to Tenerife. Ferries from Tenerife and La Palma arrive into San Sebastián’s busy port. The vast majority of people arrive here on day trips from Los Cristianos, Tenerife.

Best island for diving, hiking and escaping it all

Those who make it as far as the Canaries’ westernmost island quickly realize they’re onto something special. Ringed by glittering natural pools and impenetrable volcanic cliffs,  El Hierro has been a protected Unesco Geopark since 2014, and plans are under way to transform it into the world’s first energy-self-sufficient island. Here, on what feels like the edge of the earth, quiet hiking trails such as the historic 16-mile (27km)  Camino de la Virgen weave through flower-filled fields and scented pine forests. Other paths, like the spine-tingling 2.7-mile (4.4km)  Camino de Jinama , traverse sheer cliff faces above lava-hewn landscapes. Meanwhile, the warm, glass-clear Atlantic waters off El Hierro’s craggy coastline unveil the finest diving in the Canaries, especially around the tranquil Mar de las Calmas near sunny La Restinga in the south.

Where to stay on El Hierro

El Hierro's accommodation scene isn't the most exciting in the Canary Islands, but you aren't here for flashy resorts. The best places to stay are charming rural hotels and private casas rurales , and there are plenty of budget-friendly self-catering apartments across the island. Stay at boho-rustic converted bodega  El Sitio , which hosts yoga retreats.

Where to eat on El Hierro

Food on El Hierro might be unpretentious, but it's delicious, much of it produced on the island or off its coasts. The lack of tourist traffic ensures restaurants are catering mainly to a local clientele, which means higher standards. Dine at the elegant  Restaurante Mirador de la Peña , designed by César Manrique.

How to get to El Hierro

El Hierro's tiny airport has just a few flights to Tenerife and Gran Canaria, where you can take onward transport to the rest of the archipelago. Naviera Armas has one daily sailing Sunday to Friday between El Hierro's Puerto de la Estaca and Tenerife's Los Cristianos.

La Graciosa

Best island for beaches and going back to basics.

Named the eighth Canary Island in 2018, serene sand-swept La Graciosa lies just a half-hour boat ride north of Lanzarote. On this low-lying beauty of an island, wild honey-gold beaches wrap around scorched volcanic cones, and the only way to explore is on foot, by bicycle or by rented jeep. Most visitors arrive on day trips from Órzola on Lanzarote, but if you stay a few nights on La Graciosa, you’ll feel worlds away from the Canary Islands’ buzz. Hike or bike over to remote  Playa de las Conchas or secluded  Playa Francesa  before settling in for a seafood feast in low-key "capital" Caleta de Sebo.

Where to stay on Isla Graciosa

Accommodations on Isla Graciosa are mostly in simple, comfortable pensiones or private apartments.  Pensión Enriqueta has great-value, no-fuss rooms and a lively restaurant in Caleta de Sebo.

Where to eat on Isla Graciosa

You'll enjoy excellent fresh seafood at most of Caleta de Sebo's mellow restaurants, including  Casa Margucha and  El Veril .

How to get to Isla Graciosa

Biosfera Express and Líneas Romero run ferries between Órzola and Caleta de Sebo.

Best time to visit the Canary Islands

High season: december to april and july to august.

• Coincides with Christmas, Carnaval season and Easter.
• Accommodation prices are highest in January and February.
• Midsummer, especially August, is vacation time on the Spanish mainland, so expect more visitors.
• July and August are the hottest months of the year, but temperatures rarely climb higher than 100°F (38°C).
• Rain is possible from January to March, especially in the mountains.

Shoulder Season: May to June and September to November

• Temperatures average around 82°F (28°C), and nights are cooler.
• Fewer tourists visit in the fall overall.
• Higher altitudes, particularly in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and El Hierro, can be far cooler with some fog.

Must-see Canary Islands

Each island has its own unique character due to its geography, local culture and economy. When you are on one of the Canary Islands, you don’t know if you are in Spain with its way of life, in Latin America with its culinary, musical and cultural influences, or in Africa with its coastline only a hundred kilometres away. This unique configuration in the world makes the Canary Islands an exciting and surprising destination , a must-see!

The Canary Islands are an archipelago located near Africa and composed of 7 islands : Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. Each island of this very special archipelago has its own specificities and offers a change of scenery and tranquillity for an exceptional and personalised trip in Spain.

Tenerife : local cuisine and hiking

Tenerife is the most populated island of the Canaries. This destination is ideal for a local tourism experience. Secret Barcelona offers a wide range of unusual activities to liven up your stay on this beautiful Spanish island. Ready to discover the surprising local Canarian cuisine ? In Tenerife, this is quite possible thanks to the Guachinches, the typical taverns that can be found all over the island. If you go there, you will certainly try the "papas arrugadas", the Canarian-style potatoes served with the famous Mojo Picon sauce. The more athletic among you will also find something to do in Tenerife. In this heavenly destination, follow us on sensational hiking trips to the Teide , the highest volcano in Spain . And don't forget the incredible colonial architecture in La Laguna , which was the direct inspiration for Havana in Cuba.

Gran Canaria: the oriental island

Gran Canaria is a two-faced island of astonishing authenticity. Do you want proof of this? We invite you to visit the vibrant city of Las Palmas with its perfectly preserved historical centre, as well as the south of Maspalomas , a real piece of Sahara in the Canaries , or the centre of the island with its palm groves and rocky peaks such as the famous Roque Nublo .

Embark on an exotic journey to the Canary Island of eternal spring. If you're looking for a destination where you can feel good and relax, welcome to Gran Canaria!

Lanzarote: nature in the spotlight

Nicknamed "the black pearl of the Canaries" or "the island of volcanoes", Lanzarote is a wild and natural island, saved from mass tourism by the artist and architect Cesar Manrique . A true defender and local hero of Lanzarote, he was able to defend and enhance the local heritage. The result is a magical island of geological wonders , charming authentic villages, contemporary art and beaches of unique colours. On this small island in the Canaries, the landscapes are of a rare beauty. The island offers its visitors truly amazing volcanic beaches . Not only are there fine sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, but also extraordinary natural areas. Most of the places to discover have retained their authenticity. The Timanfaya National Park is proof of this with its panoramic view of Lanzarote or the Janubio salt flats . Our favourite: a wine tasting in a timeless bodega !

Fuerteventura: the quiet island

The 4th most beautiful island of the Canaries is Fuerteventura, also called the quiet island. The local population is friendly and the gentle way of life is a priority. In Fuerteventura, nature is honoured with several exceptional natural sites . During your visit to Fuerteventura, we invite you to visit the island of Lobos . Once there, follow us as we explore the fascinating landscape. The turquoise colour of the sea is intoxicating, the beaches are heavenly , natural and wild . Sheltered from mass tourism, Fuerteventura is a little jewel that will capture your attention. Once you have completed your tour of Lobos Island, explore the small, authentic villages on the island. Exploring La Oliva and El Cotillo are rewarding experiences. These villages are steeped in history and culture and will allow you to discover the true face of Fuerteventura: a picturesque island that has retained its authenticity.

Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife or Fuerteventura: you can now choose the Canary Island that suits you . Although different, these 4 islands have everything to seduce you and offer you a trip tailored to your image. On holiday or on an incentive trip , you will appreciate the very special setting of these little paradises on earth. If you want to surprise your partner, your family or your team with an unusual and authentic trip, Secret Barcelona is the travel agency to contact.
