The city has all the amenities you could wish for, since it offers easy access to <strong>beaches like Los Cristianos<\/strong>, where you can try a new water sport or swim with whales.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the island has its own charm, mainly in its quaint villages, like Masca and Icod, and in <strong>Teide National Park, home of Spain\u2019s highest mountain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its atypical weather, December is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/blog\/best-time-to-visit-tenerife\/\">best times of the year to visit Tenerife<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Gran Canaria<\/h2>\n<p>This island is a <strong>World Biosphere Reserve<\/strong>. Here you can start the day with an outdoor yoga session at Las Canteras beach, then <strong>head inland to explore the island\u2019s magnificent mountain landscapes<\/strong>: the sea of clouds at Ventana del Nublo, Charco Azul waterfall, or the splendid sea views at Tamadaba Natural Park.<\/p>\n<h2>Fuerteventura<\/h2>\n<p>This is <strong>the second biggest island in the Canaries<\/strong>. It\u2019s also an established tourist destination that appeals to <strong>windsurfers, beach lovers<\/strong>, and those who appreciate wild natural beauty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-22110\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fuerteventura-beach-620x414.jpg\" alt=\"People at one beach in Fuerteventura in Tenerife\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss the vast beach landscapes at <strong>Cofete beach<\/strong>, and take a day trip to nearby <strong>Lobos Island<\/strong>, an uninhabited nature preserve surrounded by turquoise waters, the perfect place for birdwatching.<\/p>\n<h2>Lanzarote<\/h2>\n<p>This island has been a <strong>Biosphere Reserve<\/strong> since 1993. The resorts in Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen are great for a family holiday, but the island has activities for visitors of all ages: souvenir shopping in the picturesque village of Haria, the <strong>animal park in Rancho Texas<\/strong>, the endless fun at <strong>Aqualava waterpark<\/strong>, and guided tours of <strong>Timanfaya National Park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>La Graciosa<\/h2>\n<p>This is a fabulous volcanic island, often visited as a day trip from Lanzarote. Known for its laid back atmosphere, it\u2019s <strong>undisturbed by traffic as there are no cars on the island<\/strong>. Rent a bicycle and explore the idyllic island landscapes at your own pace.<\/p>\n<p>Stop at the dreamy <strong>beach of Las Conchas<\/strong>, or if you don\u2019t want to venture too far from the main town, La Cocina beach is a must-see.<\/p>\n<h2>La Gomera<\/h2>\n<p>This is the smallest of the Canary Islands. Despite its size, it\u2019s packed with <strong>alluring landscapes<\/strong> and an almost-magical atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-22111\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mountain-in-la-gomera-620x413.jpg\" alt=\"A mountain in La Gomera\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Go <strong>star gazing into the clear winter sky<\/strong>, lose yourself in the fairytale corners of Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO heritage site with dormant volcanoes, lush forests, canyons, and plenty of viewpoints.<\/p>\n<h2>La Palma<\/h2>\n<p>The teardrop-shaped island boasts luxuriant cloud forests <strong>offering endless hiking opportunities<\/strong>. Don\u2019t miss the trails leading to <strong>Los Tilos waterfall<\/strong>, and make sure you spend at least half a day exploring the other-wordly landscapes at Caldera de Taburiente National Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To recover from the hike, unwind at Bajamar beach<\/strong>, followed by dinner at a beachside restaurant where you can sample local delicacies.<\/p>\n<h2>El Hierro<\/h2>\n<p>This island is a <strong>protected UNESCO Geopark<\/strong>. Being remote and off-the-tourist-track, it\u2019s perfect to get away from it all. Hierro island impresses visitors with its <strong>volcanic scenery<\/strong> and <strong>opportunities for sustainable tourism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Must-sees are the natural pools Cala de Tacoron, Sabinar nature preserve, and catching the sunset at La Maceta beach.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to stay in Tenerife<\/h2>\n<p>Although there are loads of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotels-in-tenerife\">hotels in Tenerife<\/a>, you need a place where you can relax comfortably.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotel\/catalonia-punta-del-rey\">Catalonia Punta del Rey<\/a> is a <strong>4-star-hotel<\/strong>, which offers a superb base to discover the best of the Canary Islands.
