The Canary Islands comprise of seven main islands and a further
six islets, all situated off the west coast of Africa. Tenerife,
Lanzarote, Gran Canaria
and Fuerteventura are the most well know
and are also very popular with holiday makers looking for
villas in Canary Islands all year round.
In 2006, the Canary Islands welcomed over 9 million tourists
and with it’s year round warm climate and long sandy
beaches, it’s not hard to see why so many choose Canary
Island holiday villas. The summer temperatures can reach well
into the late 30’s with the winter months a milder 16-20C.
The most popular island for tourists is the island of Tenerife,
followed closely by Lanzarote and Gran Canaria. They all offer
fantastic choices of accommodation from Canary Island villas
to large all inclusive hotels so there is sure to be something
for everyone. Many European airlines now offer daily flights
to the most popular of the islands and prices can be low enough
for visitors to enjoy short breaks as well as longer relaxing
holidays. If you are hiring
a car in the canaries while on holiday, make sure you get
an up to date tourist map for the best site seeing routes.
The Euro is the local currency on all islands and tourism
is the main economic drive which is why this is a great place
to spend your villa holidays in Canary Islands. If you would
