This paradisiac group of islands, with a preferred
climate and constant temperature through all
the year, and splendid beaches of fine sand,
consists of 7 larger islands (Gran Canaria,
Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma,
Gomera, Hierro) and a few smaller ones (Alegranza,
Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque
del Oeste und Lobos). Surprisingly, the landscape
of each island is radically different to the
others.
The Canary
Islands have a year round mild climate which
is very advantageous for a those who enjoy
a bit of winter sun. The average temperature
in the summer is around 24° (with daily highs
reaching 30°-35°) and in the winter 18°.
Fuerteventura.
More than one hundred and fifty beaches, the
most extensive coastal platform of the archipelago,
with three thousand hours of sunshine a year
and a naturallypeaceful environment are an
invitation to visitors to enjoy Fuerteventura.
Fuerteventura has 285 kilometres of coastline.
Unlike the rest of the Islands, the shores
are generally low-lying empty beaches. Perfect
for any kind of water sports, or just strolling in the warm temperatures thanks
to the fresh trade winds. Scarcely one hundred
kilometres separate Fuerteventura, the second
largest of the Canary Islands, from the coast
of Africa. Those who know its history say
that it is the oldest of them all. Fuerteventura,
a sea of sand
´Los Llanos
de la Concepción´ The windmills, dotted all
over Fuerteventura, except in the area of Jandia,
are faithful testimony to its farming tradition,
and are now being restored as tourist centres
with a view to recreating the landscape of their
working past when Fuerteventura was known as
the granary of the Canary Islands. This picture,
among an album-full, is just one of Fuerteventura
that will surprise you with its miles of golden
sandy beaches washed by the crystal clear waters
of the Atlantic Ocean. A total of 157 beaches
are the best lure to Fuerteventura, where water
sports lovers will find their paradise, and
windsurfers in particular can take advantage
of the constant coastal winds.
Lanzarotte.
Lanzarote is situated just 70 miles
off the coast of Africa and is the most easterly
of the Canary Islands. The island is 37 miles
(60km) long and 12 miles (20 km) wide, making
it the fourth largest island in the Canaries.
Lanzarote enjoys a mild dry climate with average
daytime temperatures ranging from about 21°C
in January to 29°C in August. Annual rainfall
is just 140mm (5.5 inches). This makes Lanzarote
the perfect year-round destination. for a detailed
weather chart see our
weather page.
As
with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is
Volcanic in origin. Due to the recent eruptions
during the 18th and 19th Centuries, many parts
of Lanzarote appear to be from another world,
often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian', so
much so that parts of 'Planet of the Apes' were
shot here. The dry climate (and lack of erosion)
means that the Volcanic Landscape appears much
as it did just after the eruptions.
Lanzarote has a large variety of wonderful beaches.
From the beautiful white sands of the North
to the dark volcanic sands of Puerto Del Carmen,
one will be amazed by this contrast that is
unique to Lanzarote. The main beach in Puerto
Del Carmen is known as Playa Grande. This is
a long beach facing the busy resort. There are
numerous beaches in the area running from Arrecife
airport, Guacimeta, right through to the old
town of Puerto Del Carmen. Adjacent to the old
town lies a beautiful picturesque beach, Playa
Chica. This beach is host to a wide variety
of sporting activities. Here one can take diving
lessons, rent jet skis, go Parasailing or do
a touch of Snorkeling.
In the South
of the Island near the resort of Playa Blanca
lies the most beautiful beach of all, Papagaya.
This fantastic white beach is a must for beach
lovers and although nudist bathing is common
it is by no means compulsory. For those who
love surfing and Body Boarding the beaches of
Famara and La Santa, in the West, both present
fabulous opportunities. Famara is world famous
for its surf but would not be recommended to
the fainthearted.
