Canary Islands
The Canaries are a Spanish archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa — seven volcanic islands of steep relief, famous for their black and white sand beaches, dramatic ravines, and the towering Teide volcano on Tenerife.
Bathed in reliable trade winds and warm sunshine, each island is a world unto itself, far from the usual tourist trails.
Tenerife
El Teide (3,718m) dominates the entire island and occasionally wears a snow cap. The wild, misty Anaga forest to the north contrasts dramatically with black-sand beaches in the south.

Lanzarote
A landscape of black lava and volcanic cones transformed by artist César Manrique. Timanfaya National Park and the Jameos del Agua rank among Europe's most singular natural sites.
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve · Arrecife · Growing cruising scene
Fuerteventura
Just 100 km from the African coast, its endless white-sand beaches and turquoise waters make it a sailor's paradise. The constant wind has also made it the world capital of windsurfing.

La Palma
The greenest and steepest. The Caldera de Taburiente — a 9km-wide crater filled with pine forests — is a national park. The Roque de los Muchachos observatory is one of the world's finest.

La Gomera
Garajonay National Park shelters one of Europe's last humid laurel forests, UNESCO-listed. Columbus stopped here before crossing the Atlantic. The Silbo Gomero, a whistled language, is intangible world heritage.
San Sebastián · Historic stopover · Authentic anchorages
El Hierro
Once considered the end of the known world, the smallest main island is now 100% renewable energy self-sufficient. Its pristine seabed offers some of the finest diving in the Canaries.
