The Canary Islands, on a latitude with Mexico and Florida, enjoy year-round sunshine and attract thousands of visitors every year. The most part of these are northern Europeans escaping the bleak midwinter: unlike mainland Spain, Canary peak season runs from December through to March, with the busier resorts jam-packed around Christmas and New Year. The bigger islands, such as Tenerife and Lanzarote, have highly-developed tourist industries, with uber-resorts catering for package holidaymakers by the planeload. Nonetheless, both elsewhere on those islands and on the archipelago’s lesser-known land masses, there’s plenty to interest anyone who wants something more from their holiday than bars, clubs and chips.
