THE AREA
The weather in the Canary Islands is near perfect all year round, which means whether it’s summer or winter you can enjoy varied landscape here that you usually have to cross continents to experience. Experience the subtropical greenery of La Gomera’s national park, the pine forest peaks in Gran Canaria’s mountainous or the tumbling waterfalls of La Palma. Don't miss the extraordinary barren flatlands next to Tenerife’s El Teide, the astounding colours of Lanzarote’s lava fields and Fuerteventura’s endless plains, charactered by cactus, scrub and a ton of goats.
RESTAURANTS
Cuisine in The Canary Islands shares much in common to that of the Spanish peninsula. One of the local dishes "papas" consists of mashed potatoes with a sauce consisting of garlic, paprika, cumin and white vinegar; served with almost every meal. In the main resorts and hotels, restaurants serve the full range of international cuisine, Spanish dishes and a limited choice of local delicacies.
NIGHTCLUBS AND BARS

In Lanzarote you can find some of the most vibrant clubs and bars around Puerto Del Carmen and Playa Blanca and lots of british pubs. Tenerife is packed with nightclubs and bars where you can go at it all night long!
