The Canary Islands consist of
Tenerife, Fuertueventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro as the main tourist islands. Then you have the smaller islands, starting with the two
Rocques:- del Este and del Oeste. That leaves the
Isla de Lobos and the islands of Alegranza, Graciosa and Montana Clara.The islands of the Canaries owe their origin to volcanic activity which in turn has produced a natural diverse landscape with tropical rain forest, pine groves, mountain peaks and pristine beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.
The oldest island is
Fuerteventura, where the tourists are attracted by outdoor activities such as deep sea fishing, sailing and scuba diving. Also you can get a boat trip and enjoy watching whales or dolphins.
The interior of the island has a lava landscape and is best explored by a SUV jeep rental, or cross country bike. Las Palmas is the capital of Gran Canaria. If possible plan your trip around one of the many festivals, or the exciting and colourful Carnival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The airport on Gran Canaria is known as
Gran Canaria Airport. Lanzarote is one of the smaller islands, but is one of the most beautiful and the people charming. Again there a lots of water based or land based things to do.
