Canary Islands

San Francisco, a bustling, cosmopolitan city in northern California, is the centerpiece of the Bay Area, well-known for its diverse ethnic and political communities, hilly terrain, world-class restaurants and scenic beauty.

It is the home of the ‘50s beat generation, the ‘60s flower power students, the ‘70s gay rights movement, the ‘80s culinary revolution and, of course, the ‘90s technology boom. Today, the city remains the epicenter for all things cyber and is on the leading edge of the sustainable food movement.  

Ride a cable car, walk across (or windsurf under) the Golden Gate Bridge, scribble poetry in a North Beach café, shop at the hip boutiques along Union Street, check out the latest exhibit at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, see an opera, then club-crawl through cyber-cool South of Market.

So much to see and do, it’s no wonder why Tony Bennett left his heart there.

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.
