Las Palmas, located on the northeast coast of Gran Canaria, is a sunny destination. Just a few streets from Puerto de la Luz port, you'll find the expansive Las Canteras beach, lined with the town's iconic palm trees. These palms are scattered throughout Las Palmas, adorning the streets and squares, especially the Plaza de Santa Ana in the historical district's heart. Standing in front of the tall houses next to the Santa Ana Cathedral, it feels like stepping back in time. Nearby, you can visit the Casa de Colón, a museum dedicated to the famous explorer, housed in the former governor's palace. The covered Vegueta market is a great place to experience local life and try some unique dishes.
Arrecife, situated on a cliff-strewn coast, boasts a lovely beach and a charming lagoon, Charca de San Ginés, where fishermen anchor their boats. The city offers historical and cultural sites, such as the San Gabriel Castle, a former defensive fort for the city.
Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the capital of Fuerteventura Island is located in the autonomous community of the Canary Islands. Harbour City, Puerto Del Rosario charms you with its storekeepers, its white houses, and its picturesque seafront.
Discover the charming village of Los Cristianos, in the south of the island of Tenerife. While the former fishing town is edged by some beautiful fine-sand beaches, it is also known for the two protected nature reserves that surround it – Mount Chayofita and Mount Guaza. Both are ideal for hiking and for admiring the captivating views, facing the North Atlantic. Authentic and festive, Los Cristianos is also famous for its many water-based activities, ranging from scuba diving to snorkeling and water sports.
The capital of the island of Palma, Santa Cruz de la Palma is the pearl of the Canaries. Founded in 1493 by the conquistador Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, the city has preserved a large and atypical architectural heritage from its colonial past, with its traditional Canarian houses adorned with brightly colored wooden balconies, its cobbled streets, its sumptuous palaces, and its numerous religious buildings. The Santa Catalina Castle is the symbol of the city. This 16th-century military fortification helped defend the city from repeated attacks by French privateers.
With its particularly pleasant climate, El Hierro, the youngest of the Canary Islands, invites you to discover enchanting panoramas in an atmosphere of unrivaled calm and serenity. You can captivated by the untouched natural environment, featuring a majestic volcano, lush forests, sheer cliffs, and natural pools. Besides the treasures on land, you also have the chance to discover its underwater environment. Teeming with life, it is a paradise for diving enthusiasts, since the island is home to the Punta de La Restinga Marine Reserve, its thousands of colorful fish, and stunning underwater volcanic landscapes.
La Gomera rises from the water like a mirage. This volcanic island in the Canaries features jagged cliffs, valleys covered in palm trees, and beaches of black sand bathing in crystal-clear waters. But its greatest treasure lies at its heart: an exceptional laurisilva, a laurel forest whose prehistoric vegetation has been preserved thanks to the microclimate on the island. This unique ecosystem, common a few million years ago in the tropics, forms the Garajonay National Park, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Like the birds, the Guanches contribute to the poetry of the island too, with their whistled language called Silbo. This magical-sounding, melodious language is also listed as World Heritage by UNESCO.
