Fancy A Family Vacation In The Canary Islands

Planning a holiday in the Canary islands this autumn? The islands that make up this chain are the most well liked vacation location for foreign holidaymakers after Catalonia, and continually deliver brilliant weather all through the year thanks to the fact that they are positioned close to the western coast of North Africa.

The largest and best know island is Tenerife, home to the tallest mountain in Spain, Teide, that rises majestically to 3718 metres above the island creating an amazing contrast between its gleaming white peak and the deeper sun kissed beaches spread out along the Tenerife's fantastic coastline at sea level. Similar to most of the islands in the Canaries, the southern reaches are home to many of the most popular holiday hotspots and resorts, whilst the northern reaches of the island are a lot cloudier and a lot cooler.

In comparison Lanzarote is a tiny island, approximately 40km by 60km– and hasn't been scarred by the same level of urban or tourist development, so it is significantly more au natural as they say.

So if you are looking to get some way from the maddening crowd in the Canarian archipelago should make a bee-line to Lanzarote, as they will be rewarded with outstanding landscapes, especially in Lanzarote's northern region. Much like its close neighbour Tenerife the principal vacation resorts are found in the south of the island and this is pretty much where you'll find the best choice of holiday accommodation, with countless numbers of condos and villas in Lanzarote for hire.

Of the islands two premier holiday resorts Puerto del Carmen is without a doubt the most popular, offering a plethora of fantastic beaches and also the picturesque old town harbour. There are also an array of budget friendly hotels and villas in Puerto del Carmen for anyone searching for places to stay.

Playa Blanca is marginally smaller and quieter and can be described as warm and friendly, relaxed location which is not seen as being night life central as a few of the significantly more vibrant parts of Lanzarote, instead the focal point here on the whole is the maintenance of the beauty and traditional nature of its old and long established fishing port. But that said, visitors will still enjoy a extensive option of holiday apartments and villas in the area with year round availability

From the awe-inspiring natural landscapes to the superb beaches, this is unquestionably a holiday vacation spot that will leave you wanting more. The remarkable enchantment of this pleasant island will forever bring back good memories.
