The Canary Islands consist of 7 larger islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera, Hierro) and a collection of smaller ones (Alegranza, Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste und Lobos).
The three larger islands, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura are the most popular of the selection for tourists yearning to escape the gloomy winter days and those travellers that are more adventurous looking for something out of the ordinary, with Volcanic craters, frozen lava rivers, and miles of golden sand dunes offering exciting and unusual visual treats for any visitor.
The islands are becoming ever more popular with people looking to retire and also those that are looking for a holiday home, as the islands offer the same kind of affordability as Spain, and also present the same kind of climate, culture and easy access, via each of the main islands large airports.
