CANARY ISLANDS

by SirRichard - last update: Sep 8, 2002

<BR><font color=red size=+1>GRAN CANARIA</font><BR>
The main island of this "african" part of Spain, with an extremely varied landscapes with European, African and even American vegetation.<BR>
Along the seaside there are wide beaches of sand, and while elsewhere people are shuddering of cold, here the tourists are lying in the sun and looking at those mountainpeaks being covered with snow .
<BR><font color=red size=+1>FUERTEVENTURA</font><BR>
The island with the oldest history and background, has the<font color=red>best beaches</font> of all the archipelago, of wonderful fine sand. Is the closest to the African continent. It is a paradise equally for fishing as for spending holidays at the beach.
<BR><font color=red size=+1>LANZAROTE</font><BR>
A rather different island, with <font color=red>volcanic lunatic landscapes</font> and incredible natural caves, as well as wild dark sand beaches. Most surprising is perhaps the region of Geria, with vineyards between volcanic craters.
<BR><font color=red size=+1>TENERIFE</font><BR>
The <font color=red>largest and most touristic island</font> of the archipelago. There are most varied landscapes: a mountain range with the mighty Teide volcano (3.718 m),extremely fertile valleys with important cultures of bananas and tomatoes; and a seaside offering as well beautiful steep coasts as wide beaches of fine sand.

 Hello Joaquin. I really enjoyed your insights in life in Spain. Fantastic info & great pictures here! Unfortunately I have only had a short stay in Sevilla, but I plan to return. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from the desert / Jess :-)
