Treat Yourself To The Canaries This Autumn

Planning a family vacation in the Canary islands this fall? These seven Spanish islands are the leading vacation spot for international tourists after Catalonia, and provide incredibly good weather year long thanks to their ideal geographic location.

The largest and most widely recognised of this island chain is Tenerife, boasting Spain's highest mountain Mount Teide, that rises majestically to 3718 metres above sea level creating an incredible contrast in temperature between the snowy mountain peak and the hot sandy beaches spread out along the Tenerife's amazing coastline at sea level. Just like the other main islands in the Canary islands chain, the southern areas are generally home to the islands most popular destinations, as opposed to the northern area tends to be cloudier, so is ideal for the commercial side of Tenerife's infrastructure.

By comparison Lanzarote is a tiny island, weighing in at just 40km by 60km– and and what makes it incredibly desirable is that it hasn't been subjected to excessive development, so is far more akin to a natural untouched island.

As a result any holidaymakers and visitors wishing to really get away from it all in the Canaries will find Lanzarote the most suitable destination, as the pristine landscapes are simply awe-inspiring, in particular in the northern half of the island. Similar to the archipelago's larger island of Tenerife you'll find that the principal destinations are found in the islands southern most reaches and this is (not surprisingly) where you will often find an fantastic range of competitively priced accommodation, with thousands of apartment rentals and villas in Lanzarote for hire.

Of the islands two largest tourist resorts Puerto del Carmen happens to be the most popular, boasting heaps of excellent beaches along with the atmospheric old town harbour. In addition there are plenty of budget friendly hotels and Puerto del Carmen holiday villas for anyone searching for places to stay.

Playa Blanca is marginally smaller and quieter and is definitely a hospitable, relaxed holiday resort that goes out of its way to not be seen as being night life central as many of the more lively areas of Lanzarote, actually the focal point here tends to be attempting to keep the appeal and original stature of this old fishing port. But that said, visitors will still enjoy a wide selection of complexes and villas available for long term and short term rental

From the awe-inspiring natural landscapes to the world class beaches, this really is a holiday destination that will almost certainly give you the feeling of wanting more. The unforgettable allure of this friendly island will forever bring back good memories.
