When to travel and what to do in the Canaries

The Canary Islands are suitable for a trip for two for much of the year. Wind, cloud cover and temperatures vary depending on the island, altitude and coastal area. Sheltered coastal resorts are ideal for beach days, while spring and autumn offer pleasant conditions for hiking, island tours and sightseeing.

In Lanzarote, you can combine the volcanic landscapes around Timanfaya with the towns of Teguise and Arrecife and the coast near Puerto del Carmen. Tenerife offers a striking contrast between the mountain landscapes around Teide and the beaches in the south. On Gran Canaria, coastal resorts, mountain regions and the dunes of Maspalomas are among the island's best-known landscapes.

Fuerteventura is a good fit if you like wide beaches, wind and open landscapes. La Gomera is a good choice for nature and hiking: deep valleys, steep slopes and laurel forests alternate across the interior of the island. For relaxed evenings, you'll find restaurants, cafés and promenades in the coastal resorts.
