Thanks to their mild weather and dreamy landscapes, the Canary Islands are a top choice for winter holidays<\/a>. There are many destinations available, which we explore in detail in this article.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Tenerife<\/h2>\n

The Canary Islands\u2019 capital offers something interesting for every visitor. The city has all the amenities you could wish for, since it offers easy access to beaches like Los Cristianos<\/strong>, where you can try a new water sport or swim with whales.<\/p>\n

The rest of the island has its own charm, mainly in its quaint villages, like Masca and Icod, and in Teide National Park, home of Spain\u2019s highest mountain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its atypical weather, December is one of the best times of the year to visit Tenerife<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gran Canaria<\/h2>\n

This island is a World Biosphere Reserve<\/strong>. Here you can start the day with an outdoor yoga session at Las Canteras beach, then 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

Fuerteventura<\/h2>\n

This is the second biggest island in the Canaries<\/strong>. It\u2019s also an established tourist destination that appeals to windsurfers, beach lovers<\/strong>, and those who appreciate wild natural beauty.<\/p>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the vast beach landscapes at Cofete beach<\/strong>, and take a day trip to nearby Lobos Island<\/strong>, an uninhabited nature preserve surrounded by turquoise waters, the perfect place for birdwatching.<\/p>\n

Lanzarote<\/h2>\n

This island has been a 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 animal park in Rancho Texas<\/strong>, the endless fun at Aqualava waterpark<\/strong>, and guided tours of Timanfaya National Park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

La Graciosa<\/h2>\n

This is a fabulous volcanic island, often visited as a day trip from Lanzarote. Known for its laid back atmosphere, it\u2019s 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

Stop at the dreamy 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

La Gomera<\/h2>\n

This is the smallest of the Canary Islands. Despite its size, it\u2019s packed with alluring landscapes<\/strong> and an almost-magical atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Go 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

La Palma<\/h2>\n

The teardrop-shaped island boasts luxuriant cloud forests offering endless hiking opportunities<\/strong>. Don\u2019t miss the trails leading to 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

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

El Hierro<\/h2>\n

This island is a 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 volcanic scenery<\/strong> and opportunities for sustainable tourism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Must-sees are the natural pools Cala de Tacoron, Sabinar nature preserve, and catching the sunset at La Maceta beach.<\/p>\n

Where to stay in Tenerife<\/h2>\n

Although there are loads of hotels in Tenerife<\/a>, you need a place where you can relax comfortably.<\/p>\n

Catalonia Punta del Rey<\/a> is a 4-star-hotel<\/strong>, which offers a superb base to discover the best of the Canary Islands. You\u2019ll like the central location in Candelaria town, just 2 minutes\u2019 walk from the beach<\/strong>, 100 meters from Las Caletillas, and 14 km from Santa Cruz, the island’s capital.<\/p>\n

\"Room<\/p>\n

Everything in this four-star hotel has been created with leisure and pleasure in mind.<\/p>\n

For all these reasons and the fact that you can enjoy the warm weather there, Punta del Rey is a very good choice for fun-filled holidays by the sea in a unique setting like the Canary Islands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In December, the Canary Islands are a superb winter sun destination, offering plenty of choice for holidaymakers of all ages and with all kinds of interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
