WELCOME TO Canary Islands attractions

While The Canary Islands are an autonomous community of Spain, this archipelago is located near the coast of Africa. This southern location means that the Canary Islands enjoy warm to mild weather pretty much all year round. Tenerife is the largest island, and has the largest population of all the Canary Islands, and thanks to the climate has been a staple tourist destination for operators like Thomas Cook for several decades. Here we will take a brief look at three of the principle natural attractions on Tenerife and the other Canary islands. As with all ‘top three’ lists, this selection cannot help but be subjective, but none if the options below will disappoint.

Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote is centred around another volcano. This volcano was active a lot more recently than Mount Teide on Tenerife. A dramatic series of eruptions occurred during the 18th Century which created a significant part of the modern Lanzarote, and covered a quarter what was then the island. Given the geologically recent eruption, the landscape of Timanfaya National Park is far starker than Teide, and is frequently described as lunar. Highlights of the guided tour include the chance to eat food ‘barbecued’ over the heat of a volcanic vent!

Canary Islands water sports

Perhaps a more elastic definition of a natural attraction, the waters surrounding the Canary Islands nonetheless present an ideal environment for learning a wide range of water sports. The prevailing Trade Winds that provide constant ventilation to Fuerteventura have also made the island a centre of surfing and windsurfing. There are several established schools on Fuerteventura that can offer high quality tuition and equipment hire for budding surfers, while there are windsurfing schools located throughout the Canary Islands. The rich Atlantic waters also attract a lot of big game fishermen keen to avoid the average weather found further north in the Ocean.
