The Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco in northwestern Africa are a popular winter destination for European vacationers who are lured by the temperate year-round climate, rugged volcanic geography and outdoor recreation. The Canaries comprise seven main islands. The islands’ tourism center and the largest island, Tenerife, is known for its blank and white sand beaches, fertile valleys of banana plantations, and is the home of Spain’s largest mountain, Mt. Teide—12,000 feet tall. Gran Canaria offers the most varied landscapes and microclimates; the mountain range cuts through the island and is bordered by deep canyons, desert, beaches and tropical forests. Be sure to explore the friendly local fishing villages, sample excellent Tacoronte red wine, and visit the Tenerife Zoo Monkey Park during your visit.
