The grouping of islands, that are part of Spain however positioned off Africa's north-west shoreline, have a great climate, with long, sunny days and elevated temperatures during the summer time. Yet usually in the winter, rainfall is scarce and it is more than hot enough to enjoy a day on the beach or seeing the sights al fresco.
Such first-rate weather conditions has helped in making many of the islands inside the archipelago popular holiday hotspots, mostly with individuals who prefer to spend their vacation doing not much more than working on their tan. However lovely beaches are not the only attraction, as there's a rich culture to enjoy as well as a spectacular volcanic panorama to discover.
Put your name down for Canary Islands & West Africa cruises as its schedule is probably going to include a stop in the port city of Las Palmas on Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas is full of historic architecture, such as the Palacio Regental and the stunning Santa Ana Cathedral, not to mention being within easy travelling distance of some calm formal gardens.
Take a trip out to Palmitos Park and you will be able to take a soothing afternoon in the sun walking in the botanical gardens and exploring the bird sanctuary, where you will notice such exotic species as pelicans and toucans.
Tenerife is another great spot to go to aboard a Canary Islands cruise. It may perhaps be best known for its bars & packed beaches, but it also offers some striking terrain to explore in the national park round the snow-capped Mount Teide volcano - which is Spain's highest mountain.
If you're in search of something somewhat lazier to do while in Tenerife, why not take several hours at the spirited markets in Santa Cruz ahead of boarding a catamaran for a whale-watching trip?
Lanzarote is a further island renowned for its seashores, but with beautiful surroundings to see inland. The craggy volcanic panorama has a wierd beauty and you are guaranteed to enjoy visiting the La Geria region, that is home to a variety of wineries.
Opt for the right Canaries cruise holiday and you will also have the chance to head off the familiar tourism trail and explore some of the minor isles. You may be surprised by the unblemished splendour of the countryside on La Gomera and the striking church buildings of La Palma.
