Lanzarote
Just 20 km wide and 60km long and sitting less than 100 miles off the coast of Africa. Lanzarote enjoys a wonderfully mild climate with annual average temperatures of 22 degrees and less than 6 inches of rainfall.
Being a volcanic island the landscape appears in many areas much as it did just after the eruptions in the 19th century. Some films have been shot in the “lunar” landscape!
Lanzarote boasts the longest volcanic tunnel in the world, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua. (open to visitors)
Despite the volcanic nature of the island, Lanzarote has several beautiful white beaches such as at Playa Blanca and Papagayo. The building restrictions on the height of properties and the almost uniform use of white paint on most buildings makes for a wonderful contrast with the volcanic landscape and Palm trees. The overall effect is startling and clean.
There are two Golf courses those being located in Tias and Costa Teguise.
Tenerife
The largest of the seven Canary Islands is hot and dry in the south, warm lush and green in the north. The south of the island has some great beaches, and water sports abound with windsurfing, wet bikes, sailing, water skiing, deep sea fishing and scuba diving around Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos.
Adventure parks, boat trips, sightseeing and general holiday entertainment make Tenerife the more popular choice for younger holiday makers and those wanting a more commercial location.
Las Cañadas de Teide, is home to the huge volcano that dominates an island which is rich in history .
Currently there are six Golf courses operating around the island with more planned in the near future.
Fuerteventura
The second largest island in the Canaries is probably most famous for its immaculate white sand dunes and miles of beaches.
Ever popular with wind and kite surfers this remains a hugely popular holiday destination with flights from most of the bucket airlines across Europe and the UK offering a good service all year round.
Probably the most popular areas for visitors are in the North. Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste on and along the coast to Caleta De Fuste remain the most popular destinations from the UK.
