The Canary Islands are a collection of thirteen islands off the north African Coast and are Spanish territory. The Islands vary greatly and in La Palma, Tenerife and Gran Canaria there is often rainfall whilst in the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, there is sunshine at most times of the year.
The largest of the Canary Islands is Tenerife popular for both summer and winter holidays whilst the government is located on Gran Canaria.
All the Canary Island beaches have to be of blue flag standard by law so all the beaches are well cared for.
