Canary Islands Travel Guide: 4,842 reviews and 10,895 photos

The Canary isles are made up of 7 major islands and 6 smaller islands, located of the west coast of Africa the climate is sunshine all year.A great way to see the Island is to go island hopping on the ferries that run between them.
I have been to 2 of the major islands Tenerife and Lanzarote.
Tenerife is like two islands on one with a north south divide, the south being made up of black volcanic sandy beaches with wild rollers and wild night-life, bars and discos, while the north is more green and tropical with a Lido made up of 7 pools and the night-life is more sedate with fancy restaurants, bars and night clubs.
Lanzorote was great as I got a weeks holiday in my own villa and a hire car for free I won the holiday on a game show on TV (Challange TV).
Lanzorote was very volacanic with lava field in which the locals manage to grow grape vines for wine making, which meant lots of places to sample the local produce, shame I had the car.
Also some fantastic white sandy coves, need a car to get to them.
Would recommend car hire for at least part of your holiday on both of these islands, unless your just going to live it up in the bars, then forget it, the roads are quiete dangerous,luckily we had no problem.
