Tenerife
Tenerife is one of the most popular Canary Islands The island is separated into two halves. For most of the people its the south with the sunshine and most resorts but some may enjoy the north with its scenery and sophistication. Tenerife is great for singles, couples and families. Temperature Temperatures vary in Tenerife from 72F to 84F. Tenerife stays mainly dry and sunny all year round. Things To Do And See Nightlife is perfect in Tenerife. For something different visit Tropicana Atlantico, located in Puerto de la Cruz, for Europe’s largest night show. Here you can listen to new artists and is something good but different from the norm. Another night out is The Legends of Broadway night where you get a 4 course meal, free flowing wine and soft drinks all night and watch cabaret acts with people from the best west end Broadway shows. One of the most popular activities is Loro Parque, also found in Puerto de la Cruz. This is a man made nature paradise with parrots, dolphins, sea lions, sharks and a variety of plant life. There are dolphin and parrot shows daily, a shark tunnel and their newest feature penguin planet with over 200 penguins. Highly recommended. The Tourist Areas Playa de las Americas/Costa Adeje (aerial photos of Playa de las Americas) Popular beaches with international water sports. Water park nearby with free bus to take you there. Best nightlife on the island; Veronica’s strip for all night non-stop partying. Costa Adeje is 3km away and is the more quieter resort but you can take the bus to more livelier places. Los Cristianos (aerial photos of Los Cristianos) This resort is more sophisticated than Playa de las Americas. Contains a golden beach protected by a jetty and is great for families. The night time entertainment is more for couples and families than clubbers. Playa Paraiso This is an up and coming resort which is great for 'getting away from it all'. There are a few bars and restaurants but most entertainment is hotel based. Los Gigantes/Playa De La Arena/Puerto De Santiago (aerial photos of Los Gigantes) Los Gigantes and Playa de la Arena both have black sand beaches and volcanic backdrops. Los Gigantes has a quaint little marina but both the resorts are extremely good for snorkelling. Puerto de Santiago is a quiet relaxing resort but still has plenty of things to see and do. It is a great base for exploring Tenerife by hire car. Local bars provide relaxed easy entertainment. Puerto de la Cruz This charming resort is centered around a small fishing village. Puerto De La Cruz is home to several black sand beaches one being the Playa Jardin with backdrops of palms, cacti, a restaurant, a playground and a bandstand. A popular place is the Lido Martinez with salt lakes surrounded by gardens. Puerto de la Cruz is home to some of the best casinos in Europe including the Parque De Taoro.

Gran Canaria
Then Gran Canaria was first discovered in 1100BC but it wasn’t until 1478 when Juan Rejon finally beat the resistance and took over the island for Spain. The Spanish also successfully fended off the Dutch and the English in the famous battle where Nelson lost his arm in 1797. ... And Now Nowadays Gran Canaria is a mixture of empty rolling sand dunes and fantastic lively resorts. Huge golden sands merge into one another along the coastline, giving you a beach wherever you stay. Temperature In season Gran Canaria’s lowest temperature is 71F and its highest in August is 80F. The climate is mainly dry and sunny with slight breeze. Things To Do And See One of the most popular things to do is the San Miguel boat trip, which is anchored just off the southwest coast. This excursion includes breakfast, lunch and entertainment. Why not try the hilarious camel trip across the dunes of Maspalomas including belly dancing and Fakir the magician.

Fuerteventura
One Of The Quieter Islands Fuerteventura is one of the quieter islands in the Canaries with its volcanic landscapes and stunning scenery, although most well known for its white beaches and golden sands. Fuerteventura has bars and restaurants but the nightlife is more low-key and leisurely than other islands with most of the entertainment centered around the hotel. Temperature In season its lowest temperature is 72F and its highest temperature is 79F in August. Like the other Canary Islands, Fuerteventura is mainly dry and sunny, offshore winds should be expected too, great for windsurfers. Things To Do And See The dunes near Corralejo and the Corralejo National Park, an unofficial nature reserve, are definitely worth seeing. For people who enjoy walking there is "Pilgrims Walk" from Antigua to Betancuria or in most resorts it is possible to hire mountain bikes if cycling is more your thing. Camel and jeep safaris are very popular, and something that must be experienced. Boat excursions are also an option; travel over to places like Lobos Island. In August the World Windsurfing championships are held on the Caribbean like beaches of southern Fuerteventura. The Tourist Areas Jandia Modern up market resort which is popular for its fantastic beaches. Refined nightlife mostly consisting of good food & wine in good restaurants. It is quite breezy in this area so it is great for experienced windsurfers. Playa Barca Situated on the south east of the island and is an extremely quiet resort. Extremely popular spot for naturists. In August Playa Barca is home to the world surfing championships. Corralejo This is the largest resort on the island. Mixture of idyllic beaches and the best night life on the island. Bars, discos & restaurants with international cuisine found in the town. Flag Beach of Playa Grande which is great for water sports. Mini-train used to get around the city, alternatively you could hire a car. Caleta de Fuste Sheltered on the coast, surrounded by a golden horseshoe beach. The sea is protected by breakwaters so suitable for families & children. Exceptional range of water sports from diving to windsurfing. More active nightlife with lively bars in the centre of the resort. Caleta De Fuste is an excellent base for exploring the island by hire car. Costa De Antigua (Nuevo Horizonte) This is a small peaceful relaxing resort, great for getting away from it all. Only 2km away from Caleta de Fuste but there is a bus service. There is a man made lido with a variety of pools. Nightlife is reserved, most entertainment is hotel based. |
