Tenerife
Tenerife is the big brother of the island chain, forming the province of the same name, along with the Islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. Located between the 28th and 29th parallel north and between 16º and 17º west, it is also the highest of the Canary Islands. It shares, with the other Islands, one of the most pleasant and mildest climates in the world, and is the holiday destination for four million visitors a year.
Under the attentive gaze of El Teide, the highest mountain in Spain, and with the sea as an ever-present background, the most significant feature of Tenerife is the wealth and diversity of its landscape and micro-climates.

Tenerife is an island of delicious feasts and dishes.
Lanzarote
Lanzarote’s tourist development has won it international acclaim as a unique model for the preservation of its natural and cultural heritage. The aborigines called the island ‘Tite-roy-gatra’, or Red Mountain; the Romans called it ‘Pupuria’ because of the abundance of purple lichen (orchil), but the name Lanzarote comes from the Island’s discovery by the Genoese, Lancelotto Malocello, who reclaimed it from the obscurity it had fallen into since classical times.
About 100 km off the African coast, Lanzarote is in the temperate zone of the Tropic of Cancer, warmed by the Saharan temperatures meeting the Gulf Stream.

Its sandy reaches blend with volcanic landscapes of immense flats and low volcanic cones, described as ‘an oasis in the desert of civilisation’ by poet and philosopher, Miguel de Unamuno. Over the centuries, Fuerteventura has forged its character from the sea. First it was the mythical land of Atlantis, then a place of adventure for British corsairs, fishermen, exiles, and finally a place for anyone fleeing from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
