The seven main islands of the Canaries TENEREIFE GRAN CANARIA LANZAROTE FUERTEVENTURA LA PALMA LA GOMERA EL HIERRO
TENERIFE As the largest island, Tenerife has become the main entry and exit point to and from the Canary Islands.
GRAN CANARIA Described as a miniature continent, Gran Canaria is more like three continents on one island. Blessed with a diverse topography, the third largest island in the Canaries is also surrounded by 236 kilometers of coastline.
LANZAROTE Born out of water and fire, Lanzarote in the Canaries is no less than a rocky paradise. The fourth largest island in the Canary archipelago showcases a rare mix of varied topography which stands out above the rest.
fuerteventura Fuerteventura is a perfect blend of arid landscapes, sleepy fishing villages, and fantastic beaches. It is the second largest island in the Canaries where visitors get lost in its rolling dunes, bizarre volcanic rocks, and stunning dormant volcanoes.
La palma Deep into the Atlantic Ocean, in the way of the northern winds, sits the peaceful island of La Palma. About a million years old, La Palma is the union of two contrasting islands. Up north, the area is brimming with lush forests, where verdant vegetation drips from the rainforest canopy.
La gomera In the heart of the Atlantic Ocean sits the calm and peaceful La Gomera Island. Surrounded by towering rock walls, this piece of subtropical paradise looks like an impermeable fortress from a distance. Narrow, winding roads writhes around cliffs and up ravines, and the houses perch perilously on inaccessible crags.
El hierro El Hierro was only known for one thing: being the edge of the Earth. Today, the smallest and youngest of the Canary Islands boast a lot of titles, thanks to its unspoiled nature, prominent location, rich culture and the government’s plans and efforts for advancement.
